From growing up in rural Idaho to building companies in Utah, Jordan shares the experiences that shaped his entrepreneurial path. Jordan walks through the origins of VidAngel, a platform created to help families filter content, and the high-profile lawsuit with major studios, including The Walt Disney Company, that followed. That pivot led to the rise of Angel Studios, including breakout successes like The Chosen and Dry Bar Comedy, and the introduction of innovative models like “Pay It Forward” and the Angel Guild—a community-driven platform where millions of members help decide which projects get made. Jordan shares how this approach is reshaping the relationship between creators and audiences, giving everyday viewers a voice in the storytelling process. The conversation also explores Angel Studios’ mission to produce values-based content, its theatrical release strategy, filmmaker profit-sharing incentives, and its growing presence in Utah County. Jordan offers insight into the future of media, including the role of technology and AI in a new creative era. It’s a compelling look at what happens when innovation meets conviction—and how one company is working to change the entertainment landscape. 📌 Interested in stories about entrepreneurship, media, and innovation?
