## Resource

Get ready for a fun, inspiring conversation with visionary mentor Jordan Kavana! In this episode of Meet the Mentor, Dr. Bill chats with Jordan about his unexpected journey, from creating high-tech toys in Asia to launching innovative health and wellness ventures in the U.S. Jordan also pulls back the curtain on LEAP Week, an entrepreneurial bootcamp where young people learn from influential mentors like Anthony Hopkins and Paula Abdul. Jordan shares why finding joy in what you do matters just as much as hustle, why perseverance sometimes looks like simply “SOYA—Sit On Your Ass,” and how real human connection still moves business forward in big ways. It’s a relaxed, motivating conversation full of stories, laughter, and hard-earned wisdom—perfect for anyone ready to level up their entrepreneurial game.
