About this listen

On Business Journey Unlocked, I sit down with real founders and leaders to talk about what it actually took to build their business — the scary first steps, the decisions that kept them up at night, the moments they wanted to quit, and how they pushed through to real growth.

These aren’t polished highlight reels or guru speeches.

They’re honest conversations about:

How the business really got started
The challenges that almost shut it down
Where the first real revenue came from
The systems and habits that helped them grow
The mindset shifts that changed everything

I’m building my own business while having these conversations, so I’m learning in real time right alongside you.

If you’re starting something, rebuilding, or just curious how real businesses get built behind the scenes, this show is for you.

Hit follow, pick an episode, and come learn from people who are in it — not just talking about it from the sidelines.

  • EP 1: Your Struggle Is Your Strength: Inside Jordan Toma’s Mission

    EP 1: Your Struggle Is Your Strength: Inside Jordan Toma’s Mission
    Nov 17 2025

    A message that started in a classroom is now changing lives nationwide. In this premiere of Business Journey Unlocked, Kevin Anderson sits down with Jordan Toma — motivational/mental-health speaker, founder of I’m Just a Kid with an IEP, LLC, and author — to explore how “your struggle is your strength” became a movement that resonates with students, parents, and educators alike.

    Jordan shares the turning points that shaped his voice, from early learning challenges to building a platform that takes him into schools and organizations across the country. We dig into what makes his talks different, how he sustains impact after the applause, and the systems required to scale authenticity — from bookings and travel to content and media.

    If you’re a founder, educator, or parent looking for practical inspiration and operational clarity, this conversation blends heart with execution. We also explore where the space is heading and the single bottleneck that, if solved, would accelerate Jordan’s mission over the next 6–12 months.
