Today we’d like to introduce you to Ingrid Jordan
Hi Ingrid, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
My passion for acting has been with me since I was a little girl. I would often imagine myself on TV, particularly on the Disney Channel. My journey began when I played a ballerina in “The Nutcracker,” and that’s when I truly fell in love with performance. I even took the bold step of giving myself my first lead role in a biopic about my life. While many don’t start their careers with a biopic, I wanted to create something that would inspire other girls and serve as a reminder of my beginnings. Today, I am a 15-time multi-award international winning actress and filmmaker. Although I’m not yet where I aspire to be and don’t feel like I’ve fully arrived, I’ve come this far by believing in myself and creating my own opportunities when I didn’t have a place at someone else’s table.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The journey has certainly been far from smooth. The entertainment industry is not for the faint of heart; it will challenge you in ways you never imagined. You’ll hear far more “no” than “yes.” You may witness others who seem to take their careers lightly still landing major roles or securing top agents, despite not putting in the same effort that you do. It’s crucial to remember that your journey is unique, and not everything will unfold for you as it has for someone else.
The real challenge lies in understanding that your time will come, and having faith that what is truly meant for you won’t pass you by. In the pursuit of our dreams, it’s easy to forget about self-love. We can be overly critical when we’re not where we thought we’d be, overlooking the small victories—like rising each day determined to chase our dreams regardless of the obstacles. That is the essence of perseverance: having the courage to continue forward even when the timeline remains uncertain. We must learn to give ourselves grace, focus less on others around us, and truly savor the journey, wherever it may lead.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am an actress, producer, casting director, writer, filmmaker, and entrepreneur. I am recognized for my acting as well as the films I have produced and cast. What I take the most pride in is my growth as both an actress and a producer in this industry. Creating multiple award-winning films with my own funding and limited resources has been an incredible journey. Discovering that so many people not only know who I am but also admire and support me is both surprising and affirming—it shows I’m on the right path, inspiring others along my journey, which is my ultimate goal. I strive to empower, encourage, and inspire others through the roles I play and the films I create.
What sets me apart is that everything I choose to pursue in my career reflects my character, heart, and soul. My company, Faith Over Fear Productions, is built on the principle of prioritizing faith above all else in everything we do and face in life. I believe there is no single path to success. Regardless of how many roles I take on or how many companies I run, each title I embrace aligns with my mission to inspire others. I was born to create and to touch as many lives as I can during my time on this earth.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
The one book that has guided me throughout my life is the Bible. When it comes to podcasts, I turn to GaryVee for insights on entrepreneurship. I also see a therapist, which has been incredibly helpful. Society often discourages people from seeking therapy, but I believe we all need it more than we realize. It can expose aspects of ourselves that we weren’t aware of, which may be hindering our success.
As for other resources, I rely on my peers in the industry—my acting coach, film crew, and business partner. It’s essential to surround yourself with people who are moving in the same direction you aspire to reach. Positive energy outweighs negative, and at the end of the day, you are what you consume and feed your mind on a daily basis. Therefore, it’s essential to protect your peace and energy by associating with people and influences that add value to your life.
I truly believe in the law of attraction and the power of manifestation. Ultimately, it’s important to maintain faith in everything you do.
