About the guest:



In her youth, Jordan Franklin dreamed of becoming a doctor because she believed that it would be the only way to help people. She got her degree in Chemistry but somehow ended up working for a staffing agency.  She then realized that there was another way to help people without spending a lot of money to get a doctorate.



Jordan likes to sit next to people she doesn’t know, strike up a conversation with them, and ask them what they do. She believes that building your network is how you build your net worth. And since she’s in the staffing industry, this “party trick” has worked for her.



Today, Jordan Franklin is the CEO at Stratice, LLC, a women-owned talent management firm.  They offer specialized plans with the goal of connecting employers with exceptional talents that are the right fit for their organization.
