Jordan Rassas is proof that even the darkest beginnings can create the strongest men.
From growing up in poverty and surviving years of abuse to becoming one of the UK’s most outspoken voices for men, family and faith, this is a conversation that strips everything back. Jordan opens up about the dark years he’s never shared publicly before: the violence, the trauma and the defining moment that forced him to rebuild his entire life from scratch.
He talks candidly about how being locked in his bedroom as a child led him to books that would shape his mindset forever, how a near fatal spider bite became the catalyst for his transformation, and how his faith and family became the foundation of the man he is today.
This episode dives into modern fatherhood, masculinity, homeschooling, technology addiction and the spiritual battle unfolding in the world right now. It’s raw, real and unfiltered, a reminder that even when life breaks you, you can still rebuild with strength, purpose and integrity.
Key moments include:
✔ Growing up in poverty and surviving an abusive childhood that shaped his drive, resilience and deep empathy for others.
✔ How isolation led to reading and imagination becoming a lifeline during his darkest years.
✔ The near fatal spider bite that changed the course of his life and became the catalyst for transformation.
✔ Rebuilding his body and mindset from rock bottom after losing everything.
✔ The lessons learned through faith, fatherhood and family values that underpin his purpose today.
✔ Why he refuses to give his children iPads and how that decision has transformed their development.
✔ The message he’s sharing with young men about strength, discipline and living life on a mission.
