What does it mean to live a life that is never dull? For Chris Jordan, the answer has been unfolding since he was a kid standing in front of his grandfather's headstone. The words etched there — "It was never dull" — became more than a memory. They became a mantra that shaped every decision, every risk, and every leap he has taken since.
In this episode of The Life Shift Podcast, Chris shares how those six words guided his journey from YouTube kid to podcast strategist and now entrepreneur. His story is about courage, creativity, and the power of encouragement.
