Jordan Brady - Mindpowerer

August 12, 2021

Even though I hit the wrong button again and sound like I’m doing the show from a barrel, still a really good show with a great guest! One word: Mindpower! And say it with a Southern accent. Jordan Brady is a Father, a Husband and a Filmmaker. He has mindpower (with a Southern accent). He’s done so much good work; started as a comic, 4 Narrative Films, 3 feature docs, Maria Bamford’s Netflix special, over 1200 commercials, a hit podcast, a school for directors and more. Beyond all of that, who he is and how he does it is what comes through. And that’s what we talk about in this episode; being human, dealing with emotions and doing creative work. Listen for: “On a set; what you tell yourself matters, things like “Relax and Breathe.” As a father, it’s not about how your day was, it’s about how your kid’s day was.” Jennifer also talks about cognitive rehearsal, imagineering and how to get your brain back on line and out of fight or flight mode. We play a game that’s sweeping the nation; Fight, Flight or Ease. And Jennifer shares some skills about how to get out of survival and into ease. And I tell a story about how the Red Sox blew a 15 1/2 game lead to The Yankees and the first time I ever saw my father cry. Come for the celebration, stay for the fear of abandonment.
