[@pebblebeach8517]

Jordan is an elite story teller with zero BS he captures details and somehow retains them ….thx Jordan.

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Despite your challenges you came through. I thought you had a brother? Now look at you, you have a lovely lady, super beloved dog, truckloads of subs on your channel, wisdom from Shelley, lots of family who love you, your living the dream, loads of friends and you inspire others.........priceless. Your a good keen man Jordan

[@ellennewth6305]

Moving to L.A. is always an adventure! I went to college in Boston after high school, then studied acting in New York City, then moved out here to L.A. Things don't always work out the way you expect them to ... sometimes they work out better! Glad you stayed and found your special niche!!!

[@annesantos5104]

So interesting to hear more of your story, Jordan. Everything fell into place and it was meant for you to be here. You’ve touched many lives and we’re all so fortunate to know you...and your precious Jah!

[@suzanwahlquist3258]

I love your stories I think they're great and I give an Insight on what kind of person you are and I think you're wonderful generous person and I love Jah

[@declanmcleod9025]

Wow, so very sorry about your dad.....I have fought Cancer for years, and my daughters have all been there for me.....now happy to say, Cancer free, and have been 8 years now.....life goes on! Chase your dreams......

[@anonymousgirl799]

I'm so happy to hear your back story. I moved to California, fresh out of high school, and lasted 33 years. Miss it everyday, and enjoy your Vlogs, that remind me of home. Thanks!!!!!!!

[@Gang155]

After taking a chance and restarting my whole life recently and feeling a low point, I feel revived from your story. Thank you for sharing!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

That's great to hear, Tanya. I hope it is successful for you!

[@seylanecarr6390]

Your story reminds me of my daughter, who moved to Los Angeles 5 years ago. She worked and saved for several years before moving there. It has not been an easy journey but she is finally starting to see the fruits of her labor. She now has auditions for commercials on a regular basis and has done 4 so far this year. Hard work and determination does pay off. Continued success to you. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@chairlesnicol672]

SEYLANE CARR Ya but how much does 4 commercials change your life or meet your expenses?

[@scottieburnett5606]

I’m impressed that you overcame so many obstacles pre-Hollywood, moving to Hollywood, and the beginning of your adventure in Hollywood. Obviously, Papaw is simply the best!!! 🦁🐕🦁

[@Shady.Lady.]

Your grandad sure sounds like a great guy Jordan! My grandma was my greatest influence in life, I named my daughter after my nan . Enjoyed 👍🏻🇦🇺💔

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

He's pretty cool!

[@carloscarpinteyro332]

My Grandmother was always a great positive influence in my life, as well. When my dad was divorced, she came and took care of my brothers and I, when we were very young.

[@patticresssickels466]

Grandpa repeatidly voiced his disapproval to me.

[@trishrobinson5828]

You have grit, Jordan. You just keep going and it's very inspiring. Blessings to you and Jah.

[@Updavidedattention]

You tell a good story, very authentic and interesting

[@stevemcclintock679]

Completely understand where your coming from. As another small town Ohioan just north of Troy, I to went through those same feelings when I was younger. What a dull place I lived in, nothing to do and the feeling of not fitting in overwhelmed me so I moved South, close to Myrtle Beach SC. Made a life there, made lifelong friendships and loved the weather. I would come back to Ohio to visit family but was always ready to leave boring, grey Ohio. As I was nearing my late 40s a few years ago I started to miss my roots, crazy because I swore I would never live in Ohio again, so at 49 I moved back to the family homestead. My ancestors cleared this land in the 1830's and the house I live in was built by them in 1855. I guess as the last male in our family line, I felt a "need" to come back, to carry on where my family began. I have always had an interest in vintage Hollywood, classic movies and even silent movies. I've always dreamed of going to Hollywood, visiting landmarks and retracing some of the footsteps of the Hollywood greats but it has never seemed to work out, but thanks to you I have been able to see so many of the places I have dreamed about. Thank you Jordan for taking me and many others on your journey! Keep up the great work, be happy and I'm glad to see another small town fella living his dream. All the best to you and the next time your in Ohio give me a shout and I'll treat you to lunch at The Spot. Testing your Ohio memory here LOL

[@scclif]

Your Grandpa is a great man.. Respect 👍 Every place I've ever checked on to rent said you have to be 25 .. but I rented a place when I was 17 .. I paid my rent on time and everything went well until my dog ate the door off the place ..Haha True story .

[@patticummings1802]

I enjoy your travel videos but I am especially interested in your story and how all of this came about. I have recommended your videos to my Navy son when he was stationed at Pt Mugu and we both thought you do a great job in researching your subjects. Live the dream. I always wanted to study art and now at 63 I’m getting ready to graduate with an Bachelor’s and emphasis on Studio Art. You are never to old and in your case never to young to know what you want from life. Keep up the stories you are very good at it.

[@davidellis5141]

I moved to Los Angeles in 1976. I was 13. I ended up in private school eventually. I liked it because of KROQ KCRW & KXLU. I liked all the alternative clubs. I liked all the underground record stores. I liked the diversity of people. I saw many great bands. For me LA was not a teenage wasteland , it was an oasis.

[@Chutney1luv]

I agree with you David! It's unbelievably so much fun! The stories that I could tell; but I love Jordan's stories so much!

[@spencerrebosmax7915]

Thanks for sharing your story!

[@dennismitchell5414]

I'm glad you hung in there Jordan and didn't let anything stop you ., Like my Dad used to say " Keep On Keep'in On " . Keep up the great work and be safe.

[@blazefairchild465]

You have done so well for yourself Jordan. You seem to have made an exciting & adventurous life happen inspite of setbacks. Sometimes we have to make the leap . I did something very similar at age 18 & have had a very blessed life . Choices I made at a young age on my own turned out to be great, had I listened to my parents ....maybe a bit easier but not half the fun as doing it all on my own.

[@laraesanford8605]

You should write about your experience. Would make a great sitcom or series.

[@calmgirlify]

Hi Jordan . Love your videos. My daughter lives in LA. You guys are my heroes.

[@juliet5114]

HOLY MOLY , Jordan 🙀!!! Bless your heart for your tenacity 👍. You just kept making lemonade with all those crazy things coming at you. Well done my friend 😁 👍!! Well... here's to hoping that you have continued support and success in your dreams. Thanks for the behind the scenes story, buddy 😉. 🙏' s to you and Jah.

[@mariotavena8664]

I had the same dreams as a kid. I was originally from Salinas California and as a start up DJ, I always felt that I would make a better name for myself in San Jose. That same year I got a girlfriend who was on the needy side.. dream crushed. I'm so proud that you had the strength to make your dreams a reality. Keep up the good work brother!

[@racheldelgado9216]

The optimism of youth. Good to hear that you knew what you wanted and took the action to make it happen. Wishing you all the best and continued success. Your vlogs are always a bright spot in my day. Thanks for letting me ride along on your adventures.

[@johnm1414]

Fascinating story Jordan. I first visited the LA area with a friend just after turning 18. June of 1975... CA was way different then! Fun trip though. Favorite part was the nice weather, the weird (coming from MN) but cool vegetation. Least favorite was the smog. You were brave to move out there at such an early age Jordan. I'm glad it worked out well for you!

[@dorothysue1]

The smog in Los Angeles has been gone for many years. I remember how terrible it was in the 1960's. I don't remember it being too bad in 1975.

[@bradhardisty1652]

Thanks for sharing. I can relate on many levels.

[@annataleen]

Jordan, we are the same age! I am from South Dakota and I never felt I fit there either. Now I have been in east Asia for the past 11 years; in Japan and Korea. You were so brave to move to Hollywood at such a young age. I went to university in Minnesota after high school and I was so nervous, but I was a 4 hour drive from home. You went so far! I love these storytelling vlogs. I can't wait to hear about your first few years in LA!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Nice video Jordan! Yes, life is tough but we just have to push through the problems.

[@raindropsfukushemiaflavore9914]

You are such a great storyteller. I loved this vlog. Jordan, I could listen to your stories and your interviews all day long.

[@martinsloan8170]

There is no easy road. Epic story. You are now loved by 1000's.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you

[@evancortez2]

This story comes out at a significant time as these days thousands are leaving california to re-start their lives elsewhere, you have done just the opposite which is admirable, it's always good to stand by with what you believe in

[@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy]

Great story. I sometimes act in local films here in NE Ohio and I love hearing how people pick up and move to LA. I wish I had that kind of determination.

[@stevebetker829]

Glad you stayed in ca. Sorry to hear about your dad .

[@kylelouiso144]

Thank you for sharing your whole story like that. I myself am from Ohio as well, Cincinnati born and raised. But i don't think I would of had the balls to do some of the very brave things you had to do. But im glad to hear it all worked out for you. I found it very interesting and inspirational. So thanks again Jordan for sharing your history with us.

[@jeffkidd7409]

Awesome stories Jordan. All of that worked to make you the man you are today. Loved the story time vlog. Nothing worth doing is ever easy, but worth it. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@setapeebles1616]

Hello Jordan!! Hello Jah!! Thank you for doing what you do! I love going on the adventures with you guys! I absolutely love you guys!

[@tammijo]

Thanks so much for sharing . As a 40 year old stuck in her hometown and always feeling like there’s more, I can really appreciate this! Love your channel.

[@johnsalay5397]

Nobody is stuck. Make a plan and move away.

[@sallybeaver9110]

Thanks for another peek into your life Jordan!!

[@marieoreilly4334]

Thanks Jordan for letting us share how you made choices for your life you had the courage to change your way of life things can happen for a reason your work places have thought you a lot about life you have given all Lionheart's so much kindness your vlogs are wonderful bringing great stories and nice days with Amy and our little friend Jah All Best Wishes for the future Lots of Love to you and Amy and lots of kisses to Jah Marie Dublin Ireland

[@michaelstorm7552]

A type of bologna sandwiche you can make that taste great I am a former chef anyway I fry up some Oscar Mayer bologna put barbecue sauce on it and some crumbled blue cheese a real gourmet style bologna sandwich tastes awesome I will suggest eating this on toasted bread or putting it in a pita make shure the bbq sauce is warm or room temperature NOT cold.

[@montanagirl4530]

Thanks for sharing this! I really enjoy your vids, informative and uplifting.

[@leggettnada1]

Fantastic vlog Jordan!!! Everything happens for a reason and as hard as it is for any parent/grandparent to let go I agree with your grandpa to let you fly and learn. You made the right choice because you brought so much joy in your vlogs to so many people and for this I thank you sincerely. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. You are a Blessing and with that being said you have a wonderful day. Much love to you and Jah from a true blue fan

[@RhettyforHistory]

Great story and that was a big move at 18!

[@avalonindigo6291]

That Guns N Roses poster was SUCH a sign! I LOVE IT! I love these storytime videos!! Thank you for sharing your most interesting life, Jordan!! :D

[@lindachavezw...246]

Wow...its a wonder you just didnt give up! Glad you stuck it out Jordan...you bring so much happiness to my life with your vlogs. Im at home suffering with RA. You put a smile on my face everyday!! Thanks Jordan!!

[@greeneyes4007]

And little did you know you’d have 1000’s of friends and traveling companions.. love your channel, I’m a home body by nature and going on adventures with you without leaving my house is pretty fantastic!! You’ve taken me so many places I know I’d never get a chance to see without your vlogs.. I thank you for that!!❤️

[@angelahartley3212]

I loved your story!! Even though i was married at 18 i would have never had the forethought you had at such a young age! I told you before i thought you were an old soul and this says that!! Blessings!!

[@kimnolte237]

I have so much respect for you for not letting anything stand in the way of your dream. I had kind of gotten most of that just by watching your videos and listening to you talk about life but it was great hearing all of it in one video and learning more of the details. I'm glad it has gone so well for you and just look at the amazing people that you have gotten to know during your time in LA!! Thank you for sharing.

[@alexp9089]

I love “story time”. So glad you stuck it out and god bless grandma and grandpa for supporting you. Sharing these stories helps so many with similar situations. You’re a gem ❤️

[@debbiebrister3461]

Thanks for this wonderful glimpse into your past. Life has a funny way of working out. You lived on balogna sandwiches, mine has been ramen noodles! Haha

[@dollywilson3395]

I LOVE your storytime videos, Jordan! I am pretty stressed just listening to everything you went through, but holy nelly, have you ever earned your wings! Thank you for sitting down and talking to me (seems like one-on-one) about your big move to Hollywood. I'm proud of you, and I know your family must be too! Great video...KEEP MORE STORYTIME VIDEOS COMING!

[@bonniekaye]

Love hearing stories from the past! ☺

[@mynameisvna]

It was very interesting to hear more about your journey to Hollywood. And here you are bringing so much joy to us!! You and Jah rock!!!

[@goodowner5000]

So interesting to hear your back story Jordan- some dream the life but you're living the dream! Bravo to you (and Jah) and keep the storytelling coming- your own and others at whatever frequency you decide. Love your stuff!!

[@bonniegillespie4129]

Thank you Jordan for sharing your personal stories. It just makes you even more likeable than you naturally are😎. I love it

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Jordan, really fantastic that you are able to follow your dreams. Have a great day!

[@musk4mars116]

I moved all over the country multiple times and often held two jobs at a time when I was young. Thanks for reminding me how exciting that period of my life was. Great story.

[@stevendemay5367]

I’d have to say this was one of my most favorite vlogs Jordan. Just true and honest and real. Keep being yourself brother. You’re a good man and will always wish you the best. You definitely have the drive and ambition to succeed in anything you choose to do. Wonderful story Jordan! 👍🏻

[@janadeubner9883]

What a great story! I am sitting here trying to figure out where you worked before your move! I will miss these daily vlogs. Thank you for showing me the world and being a part of my life. All my best to you and Jah always

[@celestine811]

It's always difficult with any kind of move but you got settled in eventually . Thank you Jordan . :-)

[@sherryraisbeck9547]

Your storytimes are such a treat!!...never a dull moment with you, you are great conversationalist, which is what you need to do what you do, and grandparents are the absolute best!...i miss mine so much it hurts....all the best to you and Jah💛

[@lanah43]

I can guarantee you will never be sorry that you took the chance and moved to Hollywood. I feel that you were very blessed that your grandfather is so open minded. He seems like such an understanding person. I lived in a tiny town with an overbearing mother. I would have loved to have gone to Hollywood. My mother nearly died when I got married & left. I'm glad you have let us live our dreams through your adventures!! Thanks so much!!

[@lauriecoleman6361]

Hey Jordan thanks for sharing your story in today's vlog. You were a lot braver than I at eighteen. I am looking forward to hearing more about your first year in tinsletown!

[@kennethjroybal]

Hi Jordan. I loved listening to your story. You are good at what you do. Last February, I started listening to your vlogs. WOW. I was going through being out of work, I stumbled onto Daze with Jordan the Lion. WOW. Your were so interesting, with your vlogs you helped me get through a part of the day. Anyway what an interesting story. Your an awesome person. I think you and Amy make a great couple. KEN

[@ARNOLDSANCHEZ1]

" LIFE" is like a Rollercoaster! Look where you are now Jordan! Keep on Trucking!

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, I did the same as you, I started my whole life over again and it is the best thing I ever done. You have one life and you have to take a chance now and again, otherwise years later you just think "I wish I had done that". Life is about taking chances and not about having regrets. Great vlog Jordan.

[@bud6745]

I am sure, your father seeing all of this and were you are now, is very proud. I am glad that lve been a party to your channel growing, and thank you for sharing.

[@carlawashington3069]

You have accomplished so much at a very early age and you toughed it out, that says a lot for what kind of person you are! Some people learn how to survive and some use people to get what they want. Your a hard worker and an intelligent man. Thank you for the interesting videos and hard work! Tell Jah I said Hi, lol.

[@TravelingMan63]

I packed up from Cleveland and moved to SF. My mom died a few years earlier and I felt my life was going no where. This was the best decision I ever made. My career took off. I knew 1 person when I moved to SF, and I was fortunate enough to have a job waiting for me in SF. 28 years later I am still here in SF and I’ve never regret the move. Lesson is do what you want to do, live your own life and do what’s best for yourself. I am glad everything worked out for you

[@chelseamcdaniel6588]

I loved getting to hear what you did after High School! Just listening to your stories, I remember alot of the places and things you talked about! And you are right, the computer factory is LONG gone! Lol

[@carloscarpinteyro332]

Excellent! Very inspiring story, and excellent advice for a young person as to the unexpected twists and turns that life throws at you. I admire that you are so level-headed, and 'rolled' with all the unexpected obstacles, and that you managed to keep yourself unpolluted from the bad lifestyles of many others that are so prevalent in Hollywood, because you kept focused on your dream! I lived on Carlton Way in Hollywood for 8 years, from Jan. 1980-Jan 1988. Thank you for your candor! The actor Tom Lester who played "Eb", the hired hand guy on "Green Acres", moved out there when he was a very young man, as well, after being inspired to be an actor. He with no experience was cast for the "Green Acres" part, even though over 400 other people, with experience, tried out for that part. he moved out from Mississippi. You can look him up on Utube. He is the last surviving cast member of that TV series.

[@lindamorris5548]

Great to hear more about your background, growing up and moving to LA. I guessed it was pretty much like that, but loved hearing the details. Everyone has a story, you tell yours well and we all can identify.

[@jackdavis7993]

I'm an old fellow and I appreciate your great attitude towards life and ethics. Congrats to you and continued success!

[@janeritter8702]

Wonderful story, Jordan! You paid your dues! I call all of that "Life Lessons" and you have a wise Grandpa, consider yourself lucky after all... and you are still going strong! Keep your spirit alive 😃👍

[@michaelferreri1256]

I found this video while watching your trip up and down Hollywood Blvd and I truly enjoyed it. My son did the exact same thing including attending MI. He worked at Hollywood Costume and House of Blues. We live an hour away so I got to visit him all the time. Your clips brought back lots of great memories. I really enjoyed your story.

[@rayboomboomsoliday206]

LOL, our daughter moved to Burbank after college. She got an intern position at Nickelodeon and she had a similar problem with the landlord. She drove out from Illinois to southern California at the end of January. She drove thru plowed snowdrifts taller than her car in Colorado. Stayed at hotels until she found an apartment. So she chased her dream of being an animator, worked at Disneyland (like Breck) for a while doing drawings for the tourists, and now does writing for Puppy Dog Pals. Though life is hard, she is living her dreams! We plan on moving out there next summer. I'm retired so I'm not worried about finding a job.

[@worker4ever123]

You have a true gift Jordan! You are such a wonderful story teller. This is such an inspirational story! Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@debbicressyoung436]

Yes, Jordan I can hear Mamaw now saying “Don, you need to go with him.”

[@dsinavich5141]

Great story Jordan . You have come a long way . Life can only get better and better for you . Take care !

[@kmc528]

I enjoyed this video very much, thanks for sharing your story, it was very interesting. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures and experiences of moving far away and following your dream, starting a new chapter in your life, really interesting topic!

[@leannefabro3289]

I can relate to your story it does take allot to be able to stand on your own and it makes you appreciate what you have and makes you a stronger proud person as well.🙂

[@sallychanning3723]

Enjoyed hearing a bit of your backstory Jordan, yes, life is scary at times but things always work out, also good family and friends are a God send.

[@mbburg2149]

Very interesting story Jordan!!! Had similar interesting ups and downs on my move to Hawaii. But with an incredible amount of drive and motivation it all worked out. Was the wildest thing I had ever done out of my comfort zone. Your story had me remembering what a crazy ride it has been.

[@mariaday712]

I'm sorry about the loss of your dad. Life seems to work out if you work at it. You did what you had to and things seemed to work out. Bologna sandwiches everyday may have been hard. But you were eating and had a roof over your head. You have a great story and I'm glad everything worked out for you. Safe Travels and Take Care.

[@martinschulz9381]

Good story. I stayed in Hostels all over the world when I was younger and traveling. Met a lot of people and had good experiences. Planing life out has been instilled in us from a young age, but just ask an older person how many things in their life went remotely as planned. Opportunities come out of nowhere, and are seldom ever what you expected or planned on.

[@BoomerBlogging]

Just reviewed this again today. Sounds like you had quite a kindred spirit in a father. I’m sure he would have been quite proud of you for having the courage to make the move. You see Jordan - it really was courageous - why - because most of us don’t make that move - we actually end up leading lives of “quiet desperation”! Obviously I don’t really know you - but - what I do I must admit that I admire your courage, character, and integrity. I tried to follow the dream to NYC. Long story short - I lasted a year - it ate me up - so I returned home - got married - bought a house and car - gained a mortgage and a son - and the rest is history. Love my son - lost the marriage - and now California is a business and pleasure trip three times a year (pre covid).

[@missykowalewski]

Story time is cool. Nice to know what prompts people to take the path they took. The story about Jäh is probably my favorite. It's early yet but one day having a story time about how u met Amy would be awesome. She is sweet funny and seems to really care about u.

[@pamelajenkinson7077]

I'm 53, and I am dreaming of being able to live in CA. Let's hope that it's never too late!

[@Sarah-bell]

Interesting vlog, brave thing to do move so far away so young, continue to do what makes you happy and feels right, I will miss the daily vlogs, however as I've said before you need a little me time, wishing you happy adventures as always

[@kathytaylo4354]

Thank you Jordan for this video. My granddaughter is at that point in her life where she wants to move to her own apartment and start her life but is a little scared too. She isn’t as gregarious as you, she’s a bit shy and I think has been too used to her parents protecting her and paying for everything. I will ask her to watch your video in hopes it will give her hope and a little push toward independence! Thank you

[@1aikane]

I didn't belong where I was raised either. Best decision I made was to leave.

[@kickrocks2472]

Hey Jordan I loved your stories because you talk about what life is all about, highs and lows! Keep it up and I’ll keep watching😀

[@teresahardy4928]

Loved this! Glad you made it! It was so worth it! Thanks again Jordan

[@editboy09]

I discovered your vlogs a couple years ago when I was in a depression funk and your vlogs made me felt better. Don't know why but they did. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@cheleshows]

Thank you for sharing your story. I am glad it all worked out for you.

[@cindycinnamon1965]

Awww, I love hearing your storytime vlogs! I appreciate you taking the time to tell us all a little bit more about yourself.

[@brianw9129]

I love Storytime with Jordan the Lion. It's like a fireside chat for 2020. Hated for Moving to Hollywood to end. It was an epic tale, great fun. --)

[@brendarose4287]

I enjoyed hearing your story! My adult children went through similar events when they moved out of state but they persevered as well.

[@denisebradford5241]

You did the right thing for you - a courageous move. You are an inspiration for other youngsters, anyone!

[@marypayton7302]

I loved this! The way you tell what you went through, oh me! I'm right there with you!

[@debbieclark7031]

Thanks for sharing more of your life with us. You're a great story teller.
