Life
is art
Thank You for being here.
I’m Jordan Paris.
A little about me
I am:My life has been a study in identifying the signal in the noise.One of my first phrases was “‘sat noise?” for “what’s that noise?”When I was four, I was in occupational therapy because I was overwhelmed by sensory input.My parents, the best in the world, were trying to help a four-year-old for whom the volume was just turned all the way up.That sensitivity made those early years difficult, but in time I'd realize it as the most sensational gift for experiencing Life that it is:Feeling.I’ve spent the 25 years since occupational therapy learning to sit with myself.Listening.Feeling It out.Identifying my unique signal, scanning for what resonates with the instrument that is me, figuring what God wills me to do - what I call my golden thread Tuning my chords to that.And ultimately,Turning the noise into music.I Am an AlchemistWe All AreIn 2021, after 3 loud years of living a public life with a large podcast with big name guests and a decent LinkedIn following, I burned out from the traditional platforms - and the reasons why I was doing what I was doing - and retreated into a quiet era of building.Emerging from the quiet era with the urge to share again, I searched for years for the right space for my expression. I never found the space that feels right for what I want to share and how I want to share it.So I decided on creating my own space.This is that space.This website is me playing the instrument that is me, pulling on my golden thread. I'm both enjoying pulling It, and enjoying watching It unspool. In other words, as Allan Watts would say, I'm both doing It, and It is happening to me. I'm doing It, and watching It.The form this site - this space - takes is simple.I’ve organized my writings over the 11 years into chapters of my life, called Collections.Each collection begins with a description. Under that appears its thread: writings woven together in chronological order, as It happened.In the conversations tab is the podcast I started back in 2018.I'll add more as I feel it.If you want to know when I add more, you can get on my email list here. It's very rare that I send anything out.I'm doing this for me, because it's what I want to do.Actually scratch that.It’s less so that I want to do this work, more so that I have to.I write, because I have to.This is what is happening to me.Getting it all downFeverishlyGetting it all outMy purposeis to be a clear vesselfor energyfor consciousnessfor evolutionto move through meto share the music within mein the hope that the worldConsciousnessIs better for It.I believe It Is.At the heart of all this is my worldview that Life Is Art.And so here I am, feeling It.And I hope you feel It too What else to do?
- an entrepreneur
I've been an entrepreneur since I was 19-years-old. Since 2022, my company Zeus Systems LLC has built project management systems for marketing agencies. Over 100 companies run on Zeus, and many have grown considerably as a result. I'm proud of the value we've contributed to the marketplace.Now, as a team, we've really grabbed a hold of our golden thread, and we're very much pulling on it. The evolution of Zeus is launching soon.I'm also an advisor for a few founders.
- a real estate investor
I own some rentals and have done some renovation projects that have been channels - pathways - to express some of the colors of my soul, often taking colors and materials that have inspired me along my travels and weaving them into a home.This one I call Madrilleno Mosaic - https://www.instagram.com/p/DaVZrlhkQib/?img_index=1This one ArtHouse St. Pete - https://www.instagram.com/p/C-dzlIEvsNa/?img_index=1And some sprinkles of Sunstone House - https://www.instagram.com/p/DRAcAhqjo9s/?img_index=1Real estate has also been the source of some of the greatest, most complex challenges I have ever faced.This journey, and much of my life frankly, has been characterized by hardship, but without which these words and this space would not exist. For these hardships, I am thankful, for the portals to the deep that they were.
- a counselor
I counsel/mentor/advise a select few founders whom I only believe in with every fiber of my being. My north star is gently returning them to their north star.If they come in overwhelmed, I listen, listen, and then ask them some simple questions to help them zoom out and see the view for themselves. In these sessions, it's hearing their breathing change by the end that tells me I did my job well.In more ordinary sessions, we conversate, going this way and that, often following a winding road that seems to be going nowhere (but it is - nothing is for naught), until eventually we hit on something and they leave knowing exactly what needs to be done. We separate the signal from the noise. In these sessions, it's hearing what I call "the strength of clarity" in their voice by the end that does it.And then the backbone of our sessions are our 3-year, 1-year, and quarterly goals AKA 'rocks'. We follow the EOS system wherein the quarterly goals roll up into the annual goals, and the annual goals roll up into the 3-year picture. In other words, your quarterly goals keeps you on track for your 1-year goal, which keeps you on track for your 3-year goal.Simply: I listen and ask simple questions to help them see things for themselves, draw their own conclusions, and ultimately build a business - and life - that they want and are consciously designing. Self-authorship.This is immensely rewarding work. It's a great honor, pleasure, and privilege to be a part of their journeys, to sit with and walk with them. It's also a great responsibility - and not one I take lightly. Every direction I point them toward will have a ripple effect in their lives, and the world, which is why it's important that they go their own Way. With a side of wise counsel, or so I like to think!
- a creator / curator / chef (of Life)
I am not defined by the entrepreneur box, nor the real estate box, nor the counselor box.Ultimately, I am a Creator, as You Are.If one could ever (and I don't think we can) ascribe one word to what We All Are,That would be It:Creator.And Creation and Curation go hand in hand.Creation is All HereAnd Here We AreDoing what we like with ItCurating ItPutting together the pieces of the mosaic of Life, however we like.Cheffing it up, of sorts.
Collections
I've organized my writings over the past 11 years into chapters of my life, called Collections. The pieces are woven together in chronological order, as it happened. Click into whichever one calls you, take a read, see what resonates. I'd be honored. Thank You.

- Growth Mindset UniversityI can't say what compelled me to do this, but in March of 2018, I decided to write a book. I spent all day, every day, holed up in the windowless den of my apartment... writing. Just writing. I wrote the entire book in 29 days. On April 22, 2018, at 20-years-old, I published a 184-page, 40,000-word book titled Growth Mindset University, available in paperback on Amazon.5 days earlier, on April 17, 2018, I published 3 minutes of audio titled "Welcome to the University of Life" on a podcast by the same name, Growth Mindset University.The book was interesting. Where did it come from? I'm not
- My Hello World Moment: JordanParisHealth.comThe first expansionMy sort of coming out. I spent that first semester at FGCU in fall of '16 as an "aspiring entrepreneur" - which I had included in my Instagram bio along with "Don't make a living; design a life" - which are words that today I can only ascribe to heavenly guidance, and destiny. My vision started coming to life in the summer of 2016, as I transitioned from high school to college. I spent a good part of the summer in sunny Westwood, Los Angeles, learning the ins and outs of the personal training business under the tutelage of celebrity trainer Steve Jordan. Steve has trained the likes of Tobey
- Taking NotesIn my senior year of high school, I read Tony Robbins' Awaken the Giant Within. I still remember looking up from page 4, laying on the bed in my room, my brain turning on - in a way - for the first time.Light switch.
