Pacific Northwest- anybody got contacts with school districts up there?
I’m presenting at TED-X Redmond (Washington), and 10 to16 y/o’s are welcome. I’d love to personally invite all of the kids of Pac West to come check out Ted X Redmond.
We got room for only 300 more. September 18th…Register NOW! can’t wait to get back to Seattle.
I’m truly flattered to be personally invited by the amazing Adora Svitak, and to join the ranks of all the amazing youth that will present and attend. Also, she told me this is going to stream, LIVE on the web for the whole world to see. For this one, I might be a little nervous!
Check out the latest interview with Jordan in Amazing Kids – Online Magazine. They’ve been following Jordan from the start. Click here to link to the Interview.
So the Brazil trip went super well and couldn’t ask for anything better. Life’s good and finally heading back home. This was my first time to Brasilia, and every time I visit Brazil, I fall in love with this place. It’s almost like my second home because everyone here makes me feel home. We have so many great friends here and they were so exited to see us after being on top of the world. We stayed in Brasilia (the capital of Brazil) and did the Brasilia Multisport event. Before that we toured around the city and really got to know it. We visited the Parliament Building and got to stand on top of Brasilia. The multis port went super well. My relay team and I got 3rd in the event so we had a great team going with pros and I finished it off with the last bike section.
One of the highlights, speaking at the Congress Building at the capitol of Brazil.
Overall a great trip and check in later for more updates and adventures to come.
In case you missed it, here’s a few shots from the Leno show. They picked us up in Big Bear in a big black Escalade and we headed down to Universal City and a night at the Sheraton Hotel. We had lunch at Bubba Gumps on Universal City Walk. (Wow, that restaurant is exactly the same as the Bubba Gumps in Hong Kong) And now that Jordan has actually seen the Forest Gump movie he thinks the restaurant is super cool.
Jay Leno sent a driver to our hotel for the show taping. They took us all inside to the “green room” that’s the waiting room when you are waiting to be on tv. Before the show we all got to meet Jay Leno and chat a bit about the show. He was super nice and very friendly. Karen, Dad and my mom then went to the audience to watch the show from there. I got to talk about things a bit more with the show producer and then enjoy the snacks and gifts they left for me in the Green Room. My name was even on the door.
From the audience Jay really put on a great show. The new band is awesome. Jay was funny and they kept the crowd going during the commercial breaks. Tim Allen was the first guest and Jordan the second. Jordan did great. Tim Allen was nice and took good care of Jordan on the breaks. Against Me! was the musical guest. They were good…and they had to play their song twice because something happened to the tape when they played it the first time.
Anyways it was fun talking to Jay and he was interested in the climb. After the show the driver took us back to our hotel. It was a fun day, Thanks Jay! And I did get to see the car that Jay drove to work on that day. It was a classic late 50’s Imperial in mint condition, nice….
