We have an EPIC episode run kicking off this week with the brilliant Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, a Channel 4 Sports Reporter, Journalist and Founder of Blakademik.

Jordan started in journalism as Editor of the youth publication Live Magazine and has gone on to write for various magazines and newspapers including Dazed & Confused, DJ Mag, Sunday Times, Time Out, The Independent and The Guardian. He can also be heard co-hosting on Talk Sport's "TS Extra Time" and is an occasional guest on the Guardian Football Weekly podcast.

Jordan is also the founder of Blakademik - an online platform set up in 2018 focusing on discussing Black Culture and current affairs with the perspective of black voices at the forefront.

Our conversation takes a deep dive into Jordan's life experiences which have ultimately shaped him to become the self-aware, confident and driven individual he is today both personally and professionally. From presenting on Channel 4 to running his own media network and production company and still finding time to mentor young people, Jordan has created a truly authentic profession and purpose for himself.

There's so much great insight and perspective in this episode with an even bigger part 2 coming up next week! we're truly excited for you to hear it.
