An Expereince By J-MO It Is What It Is

We dive into the highlights of "The Real Anthony Fauci" by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I encourage everyone to go buy this book and read it for yourself. Forward this video to provide highlights to your friends, and family, who might not be able to read.

Just saying hi. Remembering a friend, Jonny Perez. Got some things in the works and will have new episodes soon.

Hey everyone, it’s Jordan Morrison! I know I’ve been away for a bit, but I’m back with Episode 54 of the It Is What It Is podcast. After some much-needed traveling, I’m excited to share my experience in Spain with you all. From the stunning architecture to the vibrant beaches, Spain offered some unforgettable moments. I explored beautiful cathedrals, enjoyed a helicopter tour over Barcelona, and soaked up the sun at Nikki Beach. Sure, there were a few surprises, like the quirky water bottles and some pricey spots, but overall, it was a trip full of great memories. Join me as I dive into all the highlights and give you my take on this incredible country.

In episode 53 of "It Is What It Is," host Jordan Morrison starts with a fascinating fact: Major League Baseball games use about 108 baseballs, equating to one cowhide per game. He shares his gratitude for the good fortune in his life, from family and friends to career and education. Jordan reflects on his music production journey, detailing his progress over the past three years and offering advice for aspiring artists. He emphasizes the importance of writing regularly to enhance creativity, sharing how this practice has improved his own work. The episode includes practical tips on music production techniques, such as experimenting with different sounds and textures. Jordan highlights the significance of patience and self-compassion, encouraging listeners to be kind to themselves and stay positive. Wrapping up, he reassures that success is on the horizon and stresses the value of not stressing over timing. This episode blends fun facts, personal stories, and motivational advice for creatives.

Hey, everyone. It's Jordan Morrison, and welcome to episode 52 of "It Is What It Is." In this episode, I dive deep into the emotions of doubt, confusion, and hesitation that I've been grappling with lately. Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster these past few weeks, and I've found myself slacking on the podcast. I want to apologize to you, to everyone out there, and to myself for that. But here I am, doing my best and being honest with you. I share my personal experiences of meeting fellow podcasters and the valuable advice I received from a friend when moving from Dallas to Nashville. It’s been a journey filled with self-discovery, challenges, and learning to stay true to myself. From the struggle of maintaining consistency to encountering inauthenticity, I reflect on what makes a podcast genuine and relatable. I talk about the importance of authenticity and how easy it is to fall into the trap of seeking validation rather than being true to oneself. I also touch on my creative pursuits—singing, writing, producing, and playing piano—which have been both a source of joy and frustration. The past two years of podcasting and making music have reconnected me with my true self, reminding me of the hard-working, competitive person I am. I know I'm not alone in these feelings of doubt and confusion. We all go through it, and it's a part of human nature. My advice? Count your blessings and remember what you're confident about. When you focus on what you love, fear and confusion take a backseat. Thank you for being here and letting me share my journey with you.

Hey, I’m Jordan Morrison, and welcome to episode 51 of "it is what it is." This episode dives deep into the theme of honesty - with yourself and with others. I share my personal journey of recognizing where I've fallen short, both in my podcast and music, and how embracing honesty has led to creative breakthroughs. From working with talented mentors to rediscovering the joy in my projects, this episode is a candid look at the ups and downs of staying true to oneself. Tune in for raw insights, new music, and lessons learned along the way.

Episode 50's topic is Thankfulness. In this episode I talk about a few things that I am thankful for. It always makes me feel so much better to give thanks and gratitude. I have recently worked on some cool projects with music and I share the in's and out's of my weekly training and work on a track.

Feeling extremely grateful. A lot of things are going right, right now. I wanted to take the time I needed to identify what I want in my life and what I do not. Thank you for sharing this episode with me.

This is a reminder to stay on track, I believe in you. President DJT is one of the funniest humans alive. Be sure to catch my take on Tom Brady.

This is by far my favorite episode to date. Social media comments are wild, some people are funny and some people are helpful. These comments I got on my viral video are hilarious. I miss my friends, also, buy your girl some flowers.

I turned 30, and it was odd but I am thankful for the 30 years. Don't miss my quick PSA. DoorDash VS. Uber Eats... who will be the winner? I found the love of my life, tune in y'all.

There are some feral women out here in Nashville. Maybe it is time to be sober once and for good. Hinge requires you to be a little unhinged, but it's fun I guess. Y'all remember masks? Why don't the maskers keep the same energy anymore?

I'm learning that I need to become the person I am looking to attract, that has been abundantly on my mind. I love a good sun set and you should too. What are the 3 things a man is looking for in a woman, in 2024?

I don't know how to pronounce "demonbreun". I have a cool story about a song I just released! I appreciate all the help I've been given in my journey of making dope music. All my tutors are rad.

It was a tough week, my lovely grandmother Vola Brandow passed away on January 12th, 2024. I'll miss her and her unconditional love. It's been a tough week in the gym and I constantly feel like I am behind in every aspect of my life.

Do you know what is such a scam? Turning 30. And college. But, there is a lot to be thankful for. Like the fact that I didn't vote for a person who was endorsed by a previous president who went to Epstein's island dozens of times. Break ups are weird, I recall a funny one.

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas? I didn't, and I asked for it like 6 times. Bunch of nonsense in this episode, hope you're ready. Canadian Bacon is wack af.

I got bit by a dog this week, don't want to miss that story, and I also barked like a dog. New Years is the most made up holiday of them all and I am not even sorry about it.

Happy accidents are one of my favorite things to identify in my day-to-day. Elon Musk is up to something, and I think I like it! If you struggle with your parents divorce, I hope some of my advice helps. iiwii

First episode in the new Nashville studio, I love this city. Why are TSA agents the worst, why are they so angry? Dave Portnoy, god bless you and your bar here in Nashville. I learned a tough lesson about my buddies in the military... they can drink.

Texas, this isn't "goodbye", it's a "see you later". In this episode I recap some of the valuable things I learned here in Texas. Most importantly, In-N-Out is far superior to Whataburger. Texas Forever, love y'all.

What is wrong with my face that is makes old white men want to fight me? I hate moving but find the weirdest things every time I move... can you relate?

I propose a solution for our country, make Joe Biden play quarterback for the Cowboys and make Dak be President. It's a win-win scenario. Moving to Nashville and a few more shenanigans.

Joji was the most amazing concert I've seen in a long time, the Dallas Cowboys were sub par on their experience - but ain't nothing new there. Fortunately I was in great company this weekend, and there was plenty of good times!

I'm a hater - on Dak Prescott, and especially on girls that sh*t all over my apartment... have you heard the story about that happening to me? Had some quality updates this week, hope y'all are well!

I miss MySpace, it was honestly the best. Being in someone's top 8... there isn't a better feeling. The top 5 dogs in Dallas that you need to know to be able to hit on women. Remember to trust the process, I believe in you.

Episode 30 is a huge milestone for me and I appreciate y'alls support. In honor of this milestone I wanted to make an episode surrounding the GOAT - Russ. Russ just released his latest album Santiago so I wanted to take the opportunity and tell my exclusive Russ story. Shout out to my brother, and my mom... ya boy made it to 30!

Took a quick minute to reflect, to sing Drops of Jupiter by Train, and to regroup. Met my nephew and hungout with some friends... should I stay in Texas, or move to Nashville?

We're heating up here in Texas! This week we're reminded not to waste time or money when first starting out chasing your dreams - especially when making music. In our music lesson we touched on how to start listening critically to music to be able to identify aspects of a song or production. Take notes on what you hear in the song, and also watch other producers make songs! Here is an awesome link to better your critical listening skills: \https://hub.yamaha.com/audio/a-how-to/how-to-develop-critical-listening-skills/ Watch this producer make an awesome song in logic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vajC-oWxJQ

Chase your dreams, I believe in you. In this episode we look at some things I did wrong when starting out making music and podcasts, be we're reminded that getting started is the best part. In this lesson on how to make music - we choose a DAW and learn how to use logic (there are other DAWs, but choose one).

We finally know "what it is"... This podcast is about chasing your dreams and what I am learning about music on my journey to making dope music. If you are looking to know what is helpful, and what is not, when chasing your dreams... you've come to the right place. In this episode, I've got your first music (and life) lesson - that I would like to share with you. Shout out to Ron Miller for writing a really great Advanced Improv Practice Guide. It has helped me tremendously in life and music, and I'd like to thank Michael for sharing it with me. This is lesson 1 in your music journey!

It really is just you vs. you. Don't forget that you can't control what other people do but you can control what you do. If yo are putting in the time (trusting the process) and self evaluating, you're going to be just fine.

24 is my number, always has been, always will be. Don't force a vibe, don't force a desired outcome. What is meant for you will find you if you put in the work and stay true to yourself.

Choose consistency over relying on motivation. When you are consistent, you allow the benefits to constantly appear. Motivation is great but you can count on consistency.

Action > Skill. Taking action is so important, it is where you will be able to apply your skills.

Clarity in calmness and confusion in chaos. Find the right routine that enables you to have more clarity in your life.

Go do the things that excite you and remember to show up on the days that you don't really feel like showing up. Give yourself an opportunity to learn how to be better at the things that excite you and you will be rewarded tenfold.

Joe Biden said to lick the world, and I'm not sure what that means. We've got some interesting takes on our country and the society we live in, and the main question is... what's in the box?

We're grateful and thankful over here homie. We're reminded of 3 things this week, and also taking small incremental steps towards reaching our goals. Crumbl cookies are fire but so is the gym.

Can someone give me an update? Are we feeling the same way? Why are we so close to WW3, that sounds awful, it sounds wack. Finding balance and grace, that sounds the opposite of awful, that sounds wonderful. We're grateful over here. We're learning over her.

It was a tough week, but there are always things to be grateful for and always things to learn. Grateful for curly hair and all the 90's vibes that are coming back! Have you ever been to Catbird in Dallas? That place is dope, for real for real.

It's a great day, and this weeks 3 things to remember are pivotal. The coolest part, is these pieces of advice were brought to you straight from the universe... or from Derek Jeter and Mac Miller. 

Here are 3 things you need to remember. Also, Just talking about Texas and the fun activities Dallas has to offer. Would Theo Von make the best baseball umpire ever? 

Some interesting insight to TikTok from Dre, and some motivation from Adam. We're all over the place, from OnlyFans to the best restaurants in Dallas - come hangout while we chat about the fun stuff. It is what is is, and it ain't what it ain't. 

Did you know how Valentine's Day started? Have you ever been attracted to enemies daughter? The Super Bowl was kinda wack, and so was the halftime show. 

What's the difference between an Oklahoman and a Californian? Good thing we have Baylee to answer that question and more, in episode 11. 

It is almost like I got to hangout with Joe, Theo, and some kid who spent 6 days in a shipping container. Maybe one day I'll be so lucky. 

Do you know the Queen of Dallas? She is tapped in with all things sports, especially in Dallas. Her name is Casey and she is crunk. What's the most Texas thing you've ever seen? How do you feel about regret? Come hang with us while we talk about some cool stuff. 

Yoga is too legit, but with yoga comes the risk of machine gun farting and that is terrifying. I also learned go with your gut instinct, even if that gut instinct turns into a machine gun fart. This episode has some cool memories of coaches and teachers as well as advice for Yoga. 

We're switching it up but keeping it the same. Hit me on the celly if you have any feedback or recommendations. This episode was short and sweet so maybe you like that, maybe you don't. Cats are cool, hives aint. Luckily I'm not allergic to my cat or my tat - look at me go, I'm a poet and didn't know it.
