E150: Interview with Jordan O'Keefe

What this episode covers

In this episode, Pete speaks to Jordan O’Keefe, a singer trying to keep his dream alive. Jordan is working out how to find the right balance in his life to create long lasting success and happiness. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jordan’s dream as a child was to be on TV and sell out arenas but after having a small taste of being famous and well known by appearing on Britain’s Got Talent his dream has changed. He found it difficult receiving criticism by people who didn’t even know him. Now he just wants to be successful, a life where he isn’t worried about finances but still waking up each day loving what he is doing. Fire in the belly to Jordan means the feeling he gets when he sees others achieve, do well and progress. It reminds him of what he should be doing and gives him motivation. The process of song writing for Jordan is different for every single song. Pete and Jordan agree that the older you get the less you care and take notice of what people think. You realise that the way people react to you says more about them than it does about you. Jordan recognises that currently he isn’t achieving everything he wants to, partly due to parenthood and partly due to covid. When the time is right he will be putting the work in, working on his work ethic and getting to where he wants to be. People in their later stages in life have so much experience and knowledge, Jordan wants to learn as much as he can from them. He has spent a lot of his life being with older people which he says helped him mature. Having small children and being in a small living space can be difficult but there are ways to still achieve what it is you want. It may take you longer and be in smaller steps but it is doable for anyone.   BEST MOMENTS  “We all need balance to be happy” “That’s the main thing when you’re doing this is that people enjoy it” “The older I get I see this differently” “The more you learn the more you understand how little you know” “Life begins when you choose” VALUABLE RESOURCES Subscribe to Fire In The Belly Podcast on Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061) ABOUT THE GUEST Jordan O’Keefe Singer and songwriter from Northern Ireland   ABOUT THE HOST The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.  Pete is an Entrepreneur, Mentor, Coach, Property Investor, and father of 3 beautiful girls.
