💬 Talk to an AI model of Jordan

In this episode of AI On, we sit down with Jordan - a senior insurance underwriter who spent 15+ years modeling systemic risk across the U.S. economy. Today, Jordan lives what he used to analyze: a life built on layered resilience, from water storage to energy independence to digital comms and self-defense.

We dive into:

  • The top 5 catastrophic risks facing the U.S. - and why most people prep for the wrong ones

  • What a 7-day grid collapse really looks like (and what breaks first)

  • The difference between gear and systems - and how to build a home that functions under stress

  • The one action every household should take in the next 24 hours

“Preparedness isn’t panic. It’s pattern recognition.”

Jordan has been created using the voices at ElevenLabs.
