We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordon Turner and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jordon, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
I believe risk taking is very huge in a career of being self-employed or even chasing after your dreams and passions. They were huge in my life from quitting my job multiple times because I was blessed to have opportunities somewhere else or even sleeping in car for several months not sure whether you were gonna survive. To be in a good environment and state of mind is mixed with A lot of leaps of faith. Is what risk is all about

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is solely based off love, and as I’ve gained more experience in life and love the dark aspects of it. The parts people don’t really identify with love. Pain hurt lust longing. And the ugly duckling saying aswell or the coming of age story the people that were looked down on by their peers and outcasted. Only to really blossom in front of so many others. I feel people that relate to me are people who were devastated by love found god or almost lost their sanity. And survived the wicked test of time. And are still here till this day trying to fight battles nobody knows they are fighting

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
