Jordan started small in a quiet Cambridgeshire town, where he faced criticism and ridicule from his peers for pursuing his dream of starting his own brand. Instead of giving up, this adversity fueled his determination to succeed. Jordan’s breakthrough began with the help of ASOS, where he was treated as a rising star in the fashion world. He later partnered with Foot Asylum, only to face setbacks when the retailer failed to uphold their agreements. During the pandemic, Jordan made the bold and risky decision to leave these partnerships behind, going fully direct-to-consumer. This move allowed him to take full ownership of his business and customers, including celebrity fans like Jamie Foxx and Jake Paul. Now operating as a highly successful eight-figure fashion company, Jordan shares his journey of navigating challenges, making tough decisions, and staying true to his vision. In this conversation, we explore his experiences with retailers, the struggles of scaling a brand, and the strategy behind his direct-to-consumer success. We also touch on his thoughts about why ASOS has struggled, his innovative approach to getting celebrities to wear his brand, and the personal guilt he feels with every new milestone of success. This is more than just a story about fashion; it’s a testament to resilience, bold choices, and the drive to prove doubters wrong. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or someone looking to grow a direct-to-consumer brand, Jordan’s blueprint for success is one you don’t want to miss. His insights, humility, and relatability make this conversation a must-listen for anyone chasing their dreams in business or beyond. Tune in to hear how Jordan turned his challenges into triumphs and built a brand that continues to inspire countless others.
