EP17 - Befriending Your Mental Health with Jordan Wilson

How does a working-class lad from Preston, end up sitting down at Kensington Palace with the future king of this country? By being himself. Jordan Wilson was featured in the documentary Prince William, Football and Our Mental Health. But the documentary only scratched the surface. Jordan is a 28-year-old, CEO, entrepreneur and Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 finalist. And in my opinion, a role model to anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in. In our chat, we spoke about Jordan’s upbringing, his business and why he believes we need to embrace our poor mental health. Find Jordan here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdnwils/Find Vincere here: https://www.vincere.io/chrisoconnell
