Business

Frequency with Rick Jordan

Frequency with Rick Jordan is about ambition, pressure, success, relationships, and chasing a bigger life while quietly wondering why the things you want still feel out of reach… or why the things you finally got still have not made you feel whole.

Rick sits down with founders, leaders, experts, creators, builders, parents, and people who have lived through something worth hearing. Some episodes are sharp and direct. Some are grounded and more reflective. Some bring in well known guests. Some are Rick alone at the mic. Every conversation is built to make the truth harder to ignore.

These are conversations about the pressure people carry but rarely say out loud. Work. Love. Failure. Money. Identity. Decisions. The patterns that keep repeating. The excuses that sound reasonable. The truth sitting underneath the thing you keep calling the problem.

Enough performing your way toward a life that still feels empty.

More courage.

More peace.

More alignment.

More of the life you are actually meant to build.

You Keep Blaming Them For The Fight But Your Were Looking For You It Even Before They Triggered You | Grant Dziak with Rick Jordan Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

This one gets into nervous system regulation, relationship arguments, triggers, self ownership, masculine and feminine energy, doom scrolling, comparison, divorce, blame, and why the grass is not greener unless you actually water it. Nervous system regulation and emotional awareness are also showing up heavily in 2026 wellness and self improvement conversations, especially as people push back against over-optimization and burnout culture.

Rick sits down with Grant Dziak to talk about why performance is not just abs. Or money. Or how much you can lift. It is what happens inside you when your patterns take over and you still have to choose differently.

In this conversation Grant Dziak, who works with high performers through the lens of neuroscience, physiology, and behavior, breaks down the uncomfortable part most people skip. Your brain is not trying to make you happy. It is trying to keep you safe. And sometimes that means your body starts a fight before your mind even knows why.

In this interview you’ll learn:

Why performance starts inside before it ever shows up outside
How your body can turn stress into a weekend fight with the person you love
Why triggers are yours to own even when someone else hits them
How nervous system regulation gives you a second before you react
Why blaming people keeps you stuck in the exact pattern you say you hate

You Want Millionaire Habits Right Now?? Stop Scrolling And Start Stealing Knowledge From People Who Already Survived It | Rick Jordan Jun 12, 2026

Show notes

You keep saying you want more. More success. More clarity. More courage to go after the thing that keeps sitting in the back of your mind.

But the truth is most people stop feeding the part of them that believes bigger is even possible. They scroll. They react. They stay stuck in the same thoughts and wonder why nothing changes.

In this conversation Rick talks about reading, audiobooks, habit stacking, millionaire habits, and the self limiting belief that keeps people saying things like “I’m just not a reader.” He breaks down how he went from hating books to using audiobooks during workouts and travel to keep filling his mind with ideas that create motion.

What Rick explores in this episode:

Why successful people keep feeding their mind even when life is already full
How audiobooks can work when sitting down with a book just does not fit your rhythm
The simple habit of attaching learning to something you already do every day
Why biographies matter when you need proof that somebody else has already walked through hard things
How new ideas can make your old dream feel possible again

Are You Building a Life or Just Paying Bills?? You Keep Chasing Money But You're Working Harder Every Year Without Much To Show For It | Mike Milligan with Rick Jordan Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Most people think money problems are about not having enough. But for a lot of entrepreneurs, the real problem is something else. You work harder. Make more. Grow the business. Then wonder where all of it went. And every year feels like you're starting over again.

Rick is joined by financial strategist Mike Milligan for a conversation that goes far beyond taxes, investments, and retirement accounts. Because money isn't just about numbers. It's about choices. Freedom. Time. Family. And whether the life you're building is actually aligned with what matters most.

In this conversation, Mike Milligan, who has spent decades helping entrepreneurs create long-term financial freedom, challenges one of the biggest assumptions people make about wealth. The goal isn't maximizing income. It's maximizing options. Together, he and Rick unpack why most people wait too long to plan, why retirement has changed completely, and why money can either create fear or create freedom depending on how intentional you are with it.

In this interview you'll learn:

Why taxes should be a year-round strategy instead of a once-a-year event
The hidden difference between making money and keeping it
How retirement has changed from an ending into a new chapter
Why location, lifestyle, and taxes all affect what your money is actually worth
How intentional planning creates more freedom than simply earning more income

Does Your Childhood Still Run Parts Of Your Life? | Samantha Peters with Rick Jordan May 12, 2026

Show notes

Rick sits down with Samantha Peters, a trauma recovery advocate and founder of Light Up Your Life Collective, for a conversation about survival patterns, self-worth, and what it actually takes to break cycles that were normalized early in life.

A lot of people grow up adapting to chaos without realizing it. You learn to stay quiet. Keep the peace. Read the room. Minimize yourself so nobody explodes. And eventually those survival patterns stop feeling like survival… and start feeling like personality. Until one day you realize your entire life has been built around staying safe instead of being honest.

In this conversation, Samantha Peters shares the reality of growing up around addiction, instability, emotional abuse, and people-pleasing, while Rick pushes deeper into what healing actually means once the buzzwords disappear. They unpack trauma responses, narcissism becoming a social media trend, why people normalize unhealthy relationships, and the uncomfortable truth that some of the thoughts controlling your life were never yours to begin with.

In this interview you’ll learn:

Why people-pleasing is often a survival response, not kindness
How childhood instability quietly shapes adult relationships
The difference between real narcissistic abuse and everyday conflict
Why turning down the noise helps you finally hear yourself clearly
How introspection exposes beliefs you never consciously chose

You Made That About Me! When You Post Something and They Get Triggered | Rick Jordan Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

You say something. Post something. Video something. And suddenly someone thinks it’s about them. They get defensive. Frustrated. Maybe even angry. And now you’re stuck wondering if you crossed a line... or if they’re hearing something you didn’t actually say.

This happens more than people admit. Especially if you’re willing to speak directly. Because the truth has a way of landing where it’s already sensitive. And when it does, people don’t always look inward. They look at you.

In this conversation, Rick breaks down what’s really happening when someone takes your words personally. Why people project their own frustration onto you. And how to respond without backing off your message or making it worse. This isn’t about walking on eggshells. It’s about staying grounded, handling it cleanly, and knowing the difference between responsibility and reaction.

What Rick explores in this episode:

Why people assume your message is about them when it isn’t
What’s actually happening when someone gets triggered by your words
How to respond without escalating or shutting down
The difference between speaking truth and making it personal
Why checking your own intent still matters every time

Numbing the Pain vs Healing the Pain | Rick Jordan with Blake Bauer Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

Rick sits down with Blake Bauer, an author and counselor known for challenging the way people think about healing, self-worth, and personal responsibility.

You might say you want to feel better. Less anxious. Less stuck. More clear. But if you’re honest, there are still parts of your life you’re avoiding. Patterns you keep repeating. Pain you keep blaming on where you came from instead of what you’re doing with it now. This conversation doesn’t let you stay comfortable in that.

In this conversation, Blake Bauer, who has spent decades helping people break destructive cycles and rebuild from the inside out, makes a direct claim most people don’t want to hear. Healing doesn’t start with understanding your past. It starts when you stop using it as a reason to stay the same. Together, he and Rick go into what it actually takes to stop numbing, stop performing, and take ownership of your life without excuses.

In this interview you’ll learn:

Why blaming your past quietly keeps your patterns alive
What self-sabotage actually looks like when you’re honest about it
The difference between numbing pain and actually resolving it
Why success on the outside doesn’t fix what’s broken underneath
What it really means to take responsibility for your life

Keywords: self worth, personal responsibility, healing journey, trauma and accountability, self sabotage, emotional patterns, breaking cycles, inner work, mindset shift, personal growth truth, mental health reality, stop blaming others, ownership mindset, self awareness, addiction recovery mindset, purpose and clarity, emotional healing, leadership and self mastery, high performer burnout, identity and behavior, subconscious patterns, discipline and healing, truth about self improvement, alignment and integrity, root cause healing

Fake Coaches, Instagram Gurus, and Fast Money - Rick Jordan & Erik Huberman Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Rick sits down with Erik Huberman, and if you’ve been pulled into the idea that business is supposed to be fast, easy, and passive, this will hit different.

You see the ads. Ten thousand a month. Two hours a day. Everyone calling themselves an entrepreneur. But something about it doesn’t add up. And deep down, you know it.

In this conversation, Erik Huberman, founder of Hawk Media who has scaled hundreds of brands, breaks down what actually builds a business. Why most people are chasing the title instead of the work. Why luck matters more than people admit. And why the only thing that consistently wins is showing up and doing the hard things over and over again.

They also go into what’s changing right now. AI, marketing saturation, and the noise online. And why none of it replaces effort, judgment, or integrity.

In this interview you’ll learn:

why most “entrepreneur” paths online are built to sell you something
how real businesses grow through consistency not shortcuts
what luck actually means and why it still requires action
why AI won’t replace you but will expose you if you don’t adapt
how to build something worth keeping instead of chasing an exit

You Feel Like Crap and It's Not Your Fault Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

Rick sits down with you on this one, because if you’ve been feeling off, tired, foggy, or just not like yourself lately, you already know it.

You don’t need another diagnosis. You don’t need another label. You need to look at what you’re actually doing every day… and what you’ve been ignoring.

In this conversation, Rick breaks down seven reasons you feel like crap, and none of them are complicated. Food. Sleep. Movement. Water. Fear. Gratitude. The basics people say they care about but don’t actually follow. And while social feeds are full of “morning routines” and “dopamine hacks,” the truth is simpler than that.

What Rick explores in this episode:

why your daily habits are either giving you energy or draining it
how sleep and routine quietly control how you feel every day
what most people get wrong about food and energy levels
why fear keeps you stuck even when nothing is actually happening
how gratitude shifts your mindset when everything feels off

Keywords: burnout vs habits, low energy causes, productivity habits, daily routine reset, dopamine detox, fix your life basics, sleep optimization, hydration health, nutrition and energy, fitness consistency, mental clarity habits, stop procrastinating, discipline mindset, gratitude practice, fear mindset, personal responsibility, self improvement real talk, healthy habits daily, energy optimization, modern burnout truth

Cheating Feels Like The Whole Story… Until You See What Religion, Porn, And Shame Built First Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

Rick sits down with Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith, and if you think betrayal is simple, this is going to challenge you fast.

It wasn’t just porn. It wasn’t just lies. It wasn’t just one person messing up. It was years of silence, sexual shame, and a relationship that looked strong on the outside but was already breaking underneath.

In this conversation, Matthew and Joanna, who rebuilt their marriage after addiction, secrecy, and collapse, talk about what actually creates betrayal. The oppressive church messaging around sex. The lack of real conversations. The pressure to perform instead of being honest. And how both people end up stuck in cycles that keep making things worse.

They also get real about what rebuilding actually looks like. Not surface fixes. The hard conversations about sex most couples never have. Even sitting down and asking each other what is actually on the table for sex, what is not, and what needs to change if intimacy is ever going to be real again.

In this interview you’ll learn:

why betrayal is usually the result of patterns that were already there
how sexual shame and religious messaging quietly damage intimacy
what a real “pain cycle” looks like when both people are triggered
why trying to control your partner destroys trust instead of rebuilding it
how couples actually rebuild intimacy through honest conversations about sex

Keywords: relationship betrayal, infidelity recovery, porn addiction marriage, sexual shame, religious trauma relationships, intimacy issues couples, rebuilding trust after cheating, couples therapy real talk, emotional triggers relationships, marriage communication problems, sex conversation couples, relationship patterns, trust after betrayal, healthy sexuality marriage, breaking shame cycles, pain cycle relationships, emotional safety couples, modern marriage struggles, vulnerability in relationships, honest communication couples
