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.
