Meet Jordan Reid | Real Estate Investor and Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jordan Reid and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jordan, what do you think makes you most happy? Why?
What makes me happy? Wow, that’s a loaded question if I’ve ever seen one. I think there’s so much to consider when answering this question.

There is no right or wrong answer, and I don’t think there’s a single answer for anyone.

Here are a few of the many things that make me happy.

1) Freedom over my time and location. This means I can create my own schedule and run my business from anywhere, which offers a level of freedom that I will not give up soon.

2) Traveling is critical to my happiness. It enlightens me with new experiences, helps me connect with nature, people, and cultures, and develops an overall appreciation for everything this world has to offer.

3) Spending time with friends and family. There aren’t many things better than sitting down to a nice meal or having a good laugh with the people you love!

4) FOOD! Seriously, it is impossible for me to be sad with a good plate of food in front of me.

5) Enjoying the slow moments. I generally have a jam-packed schedule and enjoy keeping busy, so when I can sit and have a still/quiet moment in a beautiful place, it brings me a lot of joy.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I’m a travel influencer with about 200,000 followers on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. My brand is called Discover California, and to say it’s been challenging to grow it to where it is today would be an understatement.

I love what I do, which is sharing with my followers what makes California the greatest state in the U.S.

My reels have reached millions of people, and it makes me so happy when I get DMs saying someone explored a new place, had a great meal, or stayed in a great hotel because of my recommendations.

Getting here was not easy, though. It took years of showing up daily and sharing high-quality content.

But getting those messages and seeing how inspired people are by my videos makes it all worth it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There is way too much to see and do. And my answer will go beyond the scope of a single city.

Since I’m “Discover California,” I’ll give you some of my favorite spots in the state!

– Yosemite – A must-visit for every human alive. It’s one of the most magnificent places I’ve ever been.
– Burney Falls – A drop deal gorgeous waterfall. This place will change your brain chemistry.
– San Francisco – Don’t listen to the headlines. San Francisco is a fantastic city to visit. It has big city troubles like all the other big cities, however, it is a remarkable place!
– Humboldt Redwoods State Park – You’ll see the tallest trees on earth here!
Kings Canyon National Park is breathtaking, and I promise you won’t want to leave!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My wonderful girlfriend, Cristal, has been a rock in my life for the past nine years. She is always there to support whatever crazy and sometimes stupid ideas I have. I couldn’t imagine where I would be without her love and support!
