Overcoming Adversity & Turning Loss into Legacy with Jordan Thomas

Today’s podcast guest is Jordan Thomas, the inspiring Founder of the Jordan Thomas Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing prosthetic devices to children in need until they turn 18. Jordan’s journey began after a life-changing boating accident at the age of 16, which led to the loss of both his legs below the knee. Rather than seeing his adversity as a loss, Jordan decided to turn it into his legacy. Since his accident, Jordan has made a powerful impact in the world and in the lives of so many children facing similar challenges. In this episode, Jordan shares valuable insights into breaking down big goals, navigating the comparison trap and finding inspiration in setbacks. He also shares how he started and grew his foundation into a transformative force in the nonprofit world and the strategies he’s used to raise millions of dollars to fund children’s prosthetics.WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:Jordan’s back story and how he’s arrived at where he is todaySomething new that Jordan learned about himself/skillsets he didn’t know he had until having to go through the experience of his accidentWhat it looked like to start the Jordan Thomas Foundation and how he navigated the unknown waters of being successful in the non-profit worldHow Jordan was able to raise unbelievable amounts of money and fund children’s prosthetic legs until they turn 18How it felt to receive incredible honors such as the CNN Hero Award, National Courage Award, Ellis Island Medal of Honor, Changing the World Award for Outstanding Youth and many othersHow to break down your big goals so you aren’t discouraged or overwhelmedHow to not fall prey to the comparison trapWhy we can’t experience abundance without having experienced its oppositeWhere we are at in the medical system and state laws in trying to get insurances to cover more prosthetic devices, especially for childrenHow Jordan’s journey has influenced his understanding of abundanceWhere everyone can find Jordan and get involved in his foundationWhat living an abundant life means to Jordan and if someone were to ask him how they can start to live an abundant life what he would tell themRelated Links for Jordan Thomas Website: https://jordanthomasfoundation.orghttps://www.instagram.com/jordanthomasfoundation/https://www.facebook.com/jordanthomasfoundationRelated Links for Jeana OldhamWebsite: Oldham StrongFacebookFacebookInstagramInstagram**Join The Abundance Formula Community FB Group for More in Depth Interaction and Freebie Tools to Build an Abundant Life!**https://www.facebook.com/groups/827897201780559/**LEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!!**https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048
