Burnout, Boundaries, and Birding | Slightly Unhinged with Jordyn Jones

Jordyn Jones is on the pod this week! Justin and Jordyn start with real estate, get into birding, Le Creuset, ocean panic, the feeling of sand in the flaps, and the very real need for boundaries when your job starts taking over your whole life. Jordyn talks about getting into real estate without ever really planning to, what people get completely wrong about the job, and how much work it actually takes to build a business that looks effortless from the outside. She and Justin also get into how COVID impacted housing, the pressure to always be available, and why protecting your time doesn’t make you bad at your job. It usually makes you better at it. Also, yes, there is a full side quest about birds. And the ocean. And why Justin absolutely does not trust what’s in the water. So if you like your business conversations with a healthy amount of randomness, this one’s for you.
