I went to college with Jordan. He was always so kind and kept a smile on his face. You just never know what someone is going through.
Jordan’s my friend.
I’ve known him for years. So cool to hear his story on this platform. Super proud of him
And all he does ❤
He sounds like a nice guy. I wish him the best. He is going the right direction. Life is not easy and I give him a lot of credit for taking a better path even though it's not the easiest. But sould alike he will get there.
What a wonderful thoughtful and sensitive man! So good to hear his story! Is there a place to check out his music?!?
proud of him for all the cocks hes sucked for money?
does he have music on spotify?
Please tell him I think he is doing a really great job, and to hang in there. So proud of him, and I don't even know him. Sending Prayers out to him in my Journal daily.
I love seeing anyone being so self aware and working so hard on their recovery and life. Wishing Jordan the absolute best!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Here here
This dude isn't self aware at all.
In the same sentence he says " I was friends with everyone" and "I didn't have many friends, I was alone"
This is difficult. To open up and tell your deepest darkest secrets. I don't think I could be this honest. I'm always shocked at how Mark gets people to open up and discuss anything.
Youve ever heard of a saying beeing in a room of people but still beeing alone
He considered them friends even though they never was friends with him.. maybe 🤔
@@JayJay-hg5vp Every day!
I was friends with everyone too, and didn't have manny either.
Ya gotta understand what's going on between the lines here, my friend..I totally get it.
These are the best kind of interviews on this channel, because I really do think people like Jordan will help others who are struggling. You showed so much courage telling your story, Jordan. Best wishes.
"People thought I was fearless but I was just high as fuck." I think people underestimate how much those who self medicate are actually struggling. Respect to everyone who can quit an addiction & raw dog life.
I’m struggling with raw dog life
I give homage to your statement about raw dogging life. Perfect way to describe life
@@Melynnest me too my friend, me too.
This interview touched my soul. Wow - watching him bring his darkness to light was inspiring and beautiful. We share such a similar journey - to be able to hear him verbalize some of the struggles he’s experienced with such honesty gave me so much hope that one day I will also get to that point. Thank you Jordan - for sharing your story with such bravery and vulnerability.
Jordan, really proud of the sober journey you have been on, wow! Be proud of your accomplishments and being willing and strong enough to face the tough parts of life, facing your fears, and being present. You have so much to offer and clearly have put in the time and hard work to be introspective, develop coping strategies, and become an amazing version of yourself. You seem like a genuine and kind soul and see things in your future continuing in this upward trajectory. Please don’t feel that you have no worth. You have been through so much, faced emotional struggles, and are brave enough to come forward and share your experience with the world. Best wishes for your future!!!
This interview will help a lot of people. Something for Jordan to be very proud of, in addition to his journey. Thank you.
I’ve never related more to someone’s life story. Thank you for this video. It’s really lonely sometimes thinking that nobody can relate to things that you’ve done in life. No matter how “bad” they are. I really appreciate what you do by giving an outlet to people who don’t get a chance to speak
Hearing this story was exactly what si needed this evening. I’m 11 years sober and I still need to hear stories like this. Thank you
Congratulations! That’s so great!❤️
Stay strong! ⭐️
Thanks everyone for the love! I’m just being me the best I can be! Thank you mark!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻💕✨❤️💯
The best thing you will ever do in your life is get sober. The rest will follow. Congrats Jordan!! 💕
Jordan!!! I love SWU!!! So cool to see you here! Checked out your music too! Great dance vibes with cool hooks! I appreciate your shares. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@hunterishuntingnow thank you hunter!!! Hiii
You’re whiney little bitch. Grow some balls and maybe your voice will drop.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Hey Jordan, I hope you have a fabulous time in Europe! Thanks for telling your story, I hope your recovery continues to enrich your soul. Don’t give up on your music, do what you love, it’s your gift to the Universe ❤
Great interview , it is nice to hear from someone who has done so much recovery and continues to work hard. Just what I needed to start my day a success story .Thank-you , blessed be.
This is one of the most powerful interviews to date, and I admire this young man for his honesty and hard work. The one thing that struck me was when he said that as an infant his mother didn't hear his crying in his crib. that was so powerful, to have such awareness. I wish him the very best in Life.
Learning to deal with emotions takes time. Doing great Jordan! ❤️
Jordan, congratulations on all the hard work and dedication to your healing on your journey. I also am a trauma survivor and I have done a lot of Therapy and EMDR helped me tremendously. Keep comin back ✌🏼❤️
I am so glad I clicked on this one. You have worked so hard and come so far in your recovery, Jordan. Your story and path away from disfunction are inspiring. Keep going. Trust in the path meant for you. You can do great things.
Thank you so much for telling your story. I can relate on so many levels and you surely helped me You are a survivor and truly awe inspiring. I am also sober 16 years and went through periods of my life that sound comparable to your story. I wish you the best life and congratulations on your sobriety!
Thank you Jordan for sharing your story. You mentioned several things that really hit home with me. One was the euphoric recall and how powerful that can be sometimes. Prayer is for sure one of our most powerful weapons. I wish you nothing but success in your future endeavors and pray that you are able to have the life you truly desire. God bless you Jordan.
Thanks for the interview
Always a pleasure to watch :)
Excellent interview. He really offered so much of himself here.
Jordan you are awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know you’ve been through so much but I truly think you’ve come out better and stronger from your experiences. Keep on keeping on!
I like him. I’ll never understand how people project their insecurities onto others the way they do. Some people just like this young man have such a sweet disposition to them that I find so endearing. It hurts to know sweet souls suffer unfairly at the hand of others. I wish him the best.
What an articulate and smart young man. Please, please keep up the good work. You are an inspiration for getting your life back on track and I wish you all the luck in the world and all the happiness. Thank you for sharing your story and please take care.
Great interview! Many blessings for him and his recovery.
14 year old boy having sex with grown men who are 35 years old is illegal and considered rape...he called it having sex with older men but in reality he was being raped and basically groomed online, imagine if the roles were reversed and some women mentions that when she was 14/15 yo she was hooking up with guys in their mid 30s...everyone would be shocked in horror and immediately understood that wasn't consensual sex it was rape, he doesn't seem to even notice what a serious issue that was and or is.
Yup it’s illegal fucked up and weird!
I do notice it as a serious issue. Thank you
Yeah it is fucked up that older men would have sex with me when I was that age. That’s why I shared about it it’s fucked and I do recognize it as a serious issue! I can not believe I lived through that but I am so grateful I did thanks for your comment and thank you for watching I appreciate you
You hit it right on the head brother,with your input of "being groomed" I know that sick feeling of torture all to well. For me it wasn't voluntary, I got it bad in a Catholic School from Kindergarten until finally my out was almost 6yrs later,when my dysfunctional family finally split. These mofo's like to start as young as they can,I'm sure Jordan's treatment was similar in the way of "familiarizing" him to the depraved behavior and or acts. Just me writing this gives me that sick feeling,and childlike fear I had in those very dark and lonely days past. I'm not gonna get into what that did to me(I may tell the story here some day)but I have met guys,men just like Jordan and they are so much alike in many ways,in regards to stories about these "so called men"who exploit these young impressionable kids into the "sick games"they play. Me being exposed early had it's horrible effects, especially with me being hetero,but that there was and is always gonna bother me,cause I did question my own sexuality many times and it was not in a healthy way,you know why did I do that and all,cause with those "pedos" and familiarizing it's smiles and creepy shit. I have to remember that I was just a child and had no way of knowing or understanding how bad it was and it's not my fault. These four words are incredibly hard to say,and accept for me,that's just part of the everlasting torment and struggle I have to live with. Take care and I'm sure happy to hear that people like yourself express your opinion and support for us cause it is and always has been "RAPE" that happens to us innocents.
@@JordanBrodie 👍🙏
As far as my political views, I am a conservative but when it's all said and complete, I have a heart man. I went to high school from 2009-2013 so it was normal to see 2 girls and 2 guys holding hands or kissing in the hallway. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm kind of glad the teens of the LGBT community really don't have to face the type of shit Jordan did anymore. Now that I've walked this journey called life for 28 years, I've met some of the most amazing and nice people in the LGBT community. I've even hung out at gay bars and actually talked to them. The fact that they allowed me in their space and made me feel comfortable just a beautiful feeling.....
Tried being gay 40 years ago in high school. I had to fist fight boys every day because I was a baby dyke. Homophobia is nothing like it was. Someone not agreeing with your life choices is not homophobia.
I have to tell you, as a 43 year old, who went through some similar rough stuff having graduated in 1998. Reading your comment, the amount of self-awareness you possess, your desire to connect with, and see others truly as humans..Simply that, your fellow man: I have to tell you that your comment truly hit my heart in a great way.. pretty powerful my friend. Being conservative, I trust you’ll understand how sincerely, I mean this..
It is my prayer that God and his Son keep you, and bless you. Young people like yourself give me a lot of faith in this often dark world. Thank you, deeply.
That is the most clueless and self serving comment. I feel absolutely sad for you that you had to witness such perversion that you’re numb to it and consider it normal. Not sure why you had to announce that you’re a Conservative? Conservatives do have a heart and could care less about sexual preference even tho we know it’s abnormal. The issue is when it starts to get forced onto everyone to the point it interferes with freedoms, privacy and facts.
@@cexspiravit4328 It’s a dark world because society has chosen to embrace evil and perversion which comes from Satan by calling evil good and good evil rejecting God and His word at every moment. The world is dark because they’ve embraced it.
@@TruthHurtsSoGetAHelmet Literally answered your own question…..
Jordan, you are amazing! Kudos for everything you have had the strength to overcome👏
Thank you for such an interesting life story, Jordan. We all have an evolutionary path. You've discovered much by age 31 already. It's very freeing to learn about yourself (some never learn, unfortunately).
It's not a template for all. You're doing great. Be well, best of luck with your music career. 🙂 💕
Wow! 6 years sober🎉congrats 🎉 Nice interview - every biographie is so interesting!
You are incredible!!!! Youcan be so Proud of yourself for getting Out of this, beeing so reflectiv about yourself and getting on!!!! I Hope you can find success and what you really want from the Industrie. Don't give up you will make it!
Wow Jordan! You express yourself and your journey so well! What an inspiration to others. So many important and essential life tools you shared! Thank you 🙏
He did a great job at telling his story. At first, I was expecting to hear that he was still struggling with addiction, but when he came out with "ive been sober 6 years" I was like "Hell yeah! Keep talking, im listening!". Although I enjoy most of the interviews Mark does, its the stories from those whove overcome their battles with addiction that I enjoy the most. Its gotta be terrifying to share these stories with the world, and this young man told his story beautifully, with an open mind and an honest heart. It sounds like the stepmom made a huge impact on his life, and loves him unconditionally for who he is. He too should be very proud of himself for all the work hes put into his recovery. Hes made a ton of progress and he seems like he has no plans on stopping there. Thanks for sharing your story:)
I absolutely love this channel and I love that Mark gives a voice to the people that the society has pretty much written off. So many who he interviews come from abuse and trauma, he has the empathy needed to get them to share their story.
I also loved Jordan’s story. It takes guts to admit that the struggle is hard and to share these really intimate issues. Honestly, the homophobes here can do one. My only question is - where were his parents in all of this? How come they never even suspected anything?
Great interview, Mark
Thank you for sharing your story, Jordan.
God Bless
Thanks for telling your very interesting story, Jordan. Congratulations on getting sober. All the best in Europe. Hugs from Canada. 🇨🇦 🤗
this is one of my favourite interviews youve ever done. what a lovely guy.. i hope you enjoy Europe Jordan, you deserve it xx
Good luck to Jordan, he has learned so much, worked so hard, and seems focussed on continuous learning.
He has a very gentle and beautiful nature.. I'm so happy that he got sober. That is one of the hardest things to do But the most rewarding. I hope he remains sober and lives a happy life. ❤ Great Interview.
This is one of the best of the interviews I’ve seen. He has real insight into his experiences. It’s impressive!!
Thank you for sharing your story Jordan. You are making amazing progress, congratulations.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m wishing you all the best in everything that you do!
First thought is "do chicks pay this guy"? Second thought.. "nevermind"
Lol 😂😂😂
Women NEVER pay for sex or male companion. All male escorts are gay. Plus, looking at him after like half a second you realise he cant be hetero😅
Thats what i was thinking......then i said 'naww'
. . . men doo 🎉
For one moment I was thinking for women 😆
Omg 🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad you decided to feature Jordan. He's very intelligent and speaks with clarity. He's awesome for working on his sobriety and getting therapy.
Much respect for his choice to get sober and clean up his life.
I can’t imagine what a different experience it would be watching these videos with a shampoo ad every 2 minutes. I don’t take for granted him not monetizing these videos. It really allows us to become engrossed and be present in the story. Thank you, Mark!
Thank you, Jordan for sharing your story! I learned a lot not only from your point of view but also about myself even though we have very different stories. I think you’re a really beautiful and inspiring person and I feel like we would be great friends! Cheers to you and good luck in Europe!
What a story!! Congrats on your hard earned life Jordan, I hope your artistry flourishes in good time!
Aamol

This interview is very enlightening, and informative, wishing this young man the same success I hope for myself because I'm studying an application to help others!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to record and post this interesting video about this unique human being. I wish him well in his future.
I'm trying to stay open to his story... it feels so exacerbated, such as "my parents gave me a shitty car." Well, that was nice of them, I bought my car. Or that they made him work to make him feel poor, no, I worked as well and bought my clothes too bc it teaches us to appreciate
Bingo👍💯% same here.
My parents stopped buying me things when I turned 12 and got my 1st little job I left home at 16 and have taken care of myself since then and I'm 55 years old. I don't depend on anyone for anything and I like it that way
I thought it was just me starting to stay open to the story
It was compare and dispair as a child I was so ungrateful that’s the point! I should have been grateful I even had a car but I wasn’t…
@@JordanBrodie
I understand now, thanks
Such a great interview. I really enjoyed his energy and personality. Please bring him back for a follow up!
Awesome very insightful interview
This was a GREAT interview!! Thank u Mark! He's adorable. He's very encouraging! I hope he has a great time in Europe!!
Excellent interview. Loved this one. Heck…I love them all
its always refreshing listening to someone on this channel who isn't making shit up as they go along lmao i wish him all the best fr
Great interview. Kudos to you, Jordan !
I can relate so much!!! I had days that I thought I wasn’t going to get through. Now in recovery, and it does get better!! Never lose hope!
I loved this interview so much! I got so much out of it and I actually relate so alloy of his story in some ways! Proud of you Jordan!! good luck in Europe! Enjoy yourself!! Your on the right track!!!!
Jordan, a former male escort and drug addict, has overcome his past struggles and now shares his story to inspire others on their own journeys of recovery. This episode is an eye-opening for other, this should be featured on OTR!
Good morning SWU peeps! Have a great day!!
💚 fantastic interview and guy! Wish him continued health healing and Peace
So proud of you for your perseverance! Inspirational!
Wow I'm a straight woman but I relate to this one so much. I'm also an artist too and it's incredibly hard to find yourself after all the years you waste on drugs. I have a lot of regret too. I hope you you get everything you desire and more jordan!!🖤
I’m a straight women but?
He’s boring me to death…
@@terrytownsend5583 thats cool terry lol
I’m an artist who also wasted a bunch of years but I’m trying to understand why you said you’re a strait woman? What does that have to do with relating to Jordan? Or are you worried someone might think you’re gay?
@@Teenywing Why would I be worried someone thinks I'm gay lmfao this is a youtube comment section, nobody here knows me. Ur reading into it way too much. I said it because I'm not a gay man so I don't relate to that part but much of the rest of what he talked about, I do. Thats all.
Another great interview!!!
Awesome interview … so relatable and honest. Kinda healing , if that makes sense. Hope your doing better . Thanks
I love hearing the people in recovery. I am glad some make it out.
He did a great job telling his story with minimal side tangents
Only thing newly uploaded to watch this early!! TN in the house, 5:17 am.
Ditto😅...also,I'm in Monteagle Tn. G'mornin😊
When listening first before judging help me understand this man and the lessons he is sharing. Thank you. Be well Jordan. Keep coming back, it works. Find a new addiction, your music, your prayers, and hustle for healthy and supportive people around you
My absolute favourite interview to date. Identify with him so much. Love the way his expression says so much. He still finds it funny(ish) he was arrested wearing nothing but a thong. And proud he didn’t give up his name. But then he goes all serious when he remembers it doesn’t take him anywhere. Hope he becomes successful in all he wants. Hope Europe treated him well (where I live / am from. We’re friendly!). And as always - amazing work Mark. 🙏
Wow, this kid gave me a whole new perspective on why some people go down this path, I used to judge it harshly by nature but now I have a whole new feeling towards it. And the amount of insights that he shared to the WHY truly left me enlightened on some new ways to deal with others and especially young children, they are the ones getting damaged by small little actions that we might see as Oh it's no Big Deal, they won't even remember they are so small, but no thats truly a lazy way of acting, like the comment he made about him being in the crib crying for 30 mins until his mother would come get him, wow, and then to think that here in Sweden the entire parenting model was built on ignoring a child that cries in their crib because running to their aid will foster bad behavior and dependency... insane I always thought that was insane and now this kid has certified my hunches... He is so strong and wise, despite his young age and all he been through.
This guy seems cool and genuine. Seems like a good friend
What an amazing and brave testimony ! Never give up!
Jordan - wow. So smart & strong. Making sobriety even cooler! Thanks for sharing. 🖤
Jordan, you’re very well spoken and seem to have learned so many positive things about yourself. It is so great to see someone get clean and move forward towards living their best life. You’re still young and life holds so many possibilities for you at this time. Never go backwards. You are worth so much more. 😊
Well spoken? I think he did a good job, but I found it a little hard to follow his trains of thought.
@@carmensaify Thanks for your commentary Karen, I mean carmen !
@@thomase4743 lmao
@@carmensaify thank you, thought it was just me! After a few hundred "Like..." its hard to follow and/or keep interested
6 years sober = Awesome
Im from Vancouver bc Canada,and we have a skid row called the Downtown Eastside, I spent 12 yrs living down there if you can call it that with a crippling addiction and I have been clean since June 26/2022. Getting off drugs was easy for me(yeah y'all think I'm full of it)but honestly I always new what I was doing, I just have a huge problem with "self worth"and let me tell you 6 yrs of sexual abuse almost daily in a Catholic school has a tendency to do that to a person. I just can't stand when I hear people say "oh you're clean now,you can get a normal life back together" what life is that? I have no real concept of it or faith that it's out there. It sure is a heck of a lot more than just getting off drugs out here with myself and others I hear talk about it,to living a life. Well the councilor helps and talking about the intense trauma I've been through is great so I break old patterns and my cycle of self harm I was so eager to do to myself. Well done on 6 yrs of sobriety, positive energy for you and brotherly love. Take care and be safe.
Yass let’s go
All the best, Jordan. You've come a long way. God Bless you.
this interview was so eye opening for me wow, I can relate with so much
THANK YOU. A GREAT INTERVIEW. A CHANCE TO DIVE IN TO SOMEBODY'S PSYCHE. WE ALL NEED TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS SO THAT WE CAN BE ACCEPTING OF OUR HUMAN CONDITION. 🥰🥰🥰
Is there a way we can see his videos, listen to his music? I'd like to follow Jordan on social media. His story is compelling.
I’m eagerly awaiting a Rebecca update, I think about her everyday. That last video worried me I’m not gonna lie😢😢
Really well spoken, insightful and introspective.Thanks Jordan
We need a update video from him like him lot ♥️♥️
Oh Jordan, you don't even know how amazing you are. You have more self-awareness than some people twice your age. The world is opening up to you and you will be dazzling.
Fellow musician here. Jordan you just gotta keep doing what makes you happy... Even if you make it big time, struggling just comes with the territory of being an artist. Your value and ethics are the focus. Know your worth! You're an inspiration; and I hope you keep telling your story.
Great job on your recovery Jordan!! Keep going! The sky has no limits.
What a Journey 🙏✨💪 thank you !!
Hawaii was like the 80's is my favorite line ever.
Lol it really is 🥳🥳🥳 lol 💕
Very open and honest interview. Thank you.
I'm so happy when I see people get sober young. It doesn't happen very often maybe if you think it's hard to repair just try to do it in your forties. You're awesome❤
His self awareness in his sobriety, is very admirable.
I had a very similar experience. You’ve got a lot if heart and talent. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you that’s why we tell our stories so we can relate and be seen and not feel so alone in this crazy world! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻🙌🏻💕✨❤️💯
Hi Jordan! I really enjoyed listening to you and you sound so smart and authentic and i bet growing up wasnt easy...
i wish you all the best and command you for being sober !
Much love, nina ❤
What a beautiful young man. Jordan, your honesty and self awareness are fresh air for the soul. Please keep shining your light. Your story will undoubtedly help others.
I’m so proud of you for becoming the person you have become and overcoming adversity. Please stay strong. You are worth every bit of happiness and success in your life
"Hawaii is like the 80s" idk why but this made me LOL
Lol 💕
Magnum PI vibes
good to see this young man grow and develop over the years i've known him. Keep it up Jordan.
OMG another one that changed my perception of the world. I wish the young man love, health, wealth and joy.
