0:20.2	Hi, this is Annie Grace and welcome to this naked mind podcast. Today I am here with Jordan.
0:32.5	Welcome Jordan. Hi. Hi, thanks so much for being here. Of course, thank you. That's awesome.
0:40.0	So what do you take us back to the beginning? Like where did I all sort of start for you?
0:45.0	Um, well, probably in high school, I was born and raised in Las Vegas and so everyone,
0:53.4	you know, when you hear the words Las Vegas, oh, how cool. So much fun. And yeah, it's fun, I guess,
0:59.6	if you go to visit, but growing up there wasn't the best, wasn't the easiest and wasn't the most
1:05.7	safe, I guess you could say. And so started drinking when I was 16, I think, which is actually

2:12.4	I do remember times when we were younger. I didn't drink in front of my parents until I was
2:17.2	21, 22. But my younger sister, they did allow us a drink every once in a while at a family,
2:24.0	get together. And I remember my sister being little younger and she would sneak my sister,
2:30.0	my mom's wine coolers. So yeah, and she was probably, I mean, having six, I mean, they tasted
