Not going to lie, the fact that he didn't ask the camera to come in close was a missed opportunity.
When he was giving his 3 points at the end, I thought he was going to say “And 3. The secret recipe for…..”

Mmmm....
Spoiler alert!
Ahhh I wanted that 100%%%
I literally thought the same thing as soon as He started talking
Shout out to Jordan man. The oldest 23 year old to ever exist.
He's 26
@@kailowrez5126*Woosh*
He's 26 but looks older than my uncle😂
Performing at peak levels takes its toll on athletes 😓
Nah that’s genes. He got that dad look
That’s my president! President of the fast food secrets club!
😂
Well said! J
Nah that's Method Man
@@AFTERPROWRESTLING😐
he's got my vote!
No way bro got a TED talk! I'm excited for bro; he deserves all good things that come his way.
Notice how he always has the one eye covered in his videos? Your boy sold out to the club. That’s what got him this gig
@@karenrollins9578 Bro, what are you yapping on about? He does not cover his eye in his video, and better yet, you’re crazy for trying to claim that this genuine man sold his soul after how much God has blessed him. He put in the work, and the proof is in the pudding.
@@iamjshep3 dude he literally does! In every video he’s always holding that phone over one eye. In every video. He’s signaling his allegiance
@@karenrollins9578 if youre recording yourself in a mirror, where else are you going to hold the phone?? man youtube comments get dumber everyday
@@ibby1295 man ppl just be stuck with their heads in the sand more and more everyday
Jordan doing a TED talk is the meanest come up I’ve seen all of 2024!
ABSOLUTELY!!!

Bro went from making Tik Tok's to Ted Talk's. Congrats much love, keep doing what you do :)
Keep rhyming like that... And you're going places too!
That’s going in a rap verse for sure
Bro went from making TikTok’s to Ted talks, it’s Jordan
Sittin in his mirror recordin, now his numbers are soaring
He made a dunk on the haters, he’s scoring
Ted Tok
"I cant let my future be in the hands of people who cant necessarily see my vision" speaks volumes to me!
This is a timeless quote 🤞🏿💯
He went from no friends in high school to 8M followers now. This is why I tell my kids to always be yourself and don’t change who you are for anyone!
Wish I had that parent 🥹
Followers are not friends
@@xaayeru missed the point.. the point is he went from being by himself with no one in his corner (besides family ofc) to millions in his corner
Our boy made it, everyone. And he had a more crazy journey than we ever knew. We are all so proud of our 40 year old Gen Z President.
Yo he's a millenial on that zoom. Get so close right now 😂
@smma593
Back up, not that close haha 😂
Jordan’s sharing the secret recipe for success!
"Come in so close right now..."

He gives even better advice outside of his bathroom
On a more serious note, this man is seriously great at telling stories and it really shows here. He’s so articulate.
This story was so unexpected, and the way he told it made me feel like I was riding those emotional waves with him.
Congrats on the Ted Talk, Jordan! You did great
"An impossible dream only takes an impossible mindset" wise words said Jordan
For once the algorithm really did me a solid finding Jordan ON A TED TALK!
Yassss 😆
Same here
Facts
Imagine at the end, the audience gets up, clapping, starts walking towards him in unison, revealing they each represent a franchise who’s recipe he revealed.
“Get him!”
Jordan confidently looks at the camera and audience, “C’mere.”
what a genius idea
Get away from me you’re too close.
😂😂😂
Always remember that when you fail, that is your First Attempt In Learning. Way to go, Jordan.
yeah..totally agree. As bitter as it sounds, Grinding is the way to go, to be better at wahtever you do!
It’s true, there’s so much to learn from failure.
But you are graded on your first attempt.
Jordan is an excellent example of "never giving up" and "keep it pushing".. happy for this dude
I did not expect to see this today but here we are
Samee
A pleasant surprise.
Good to see Drake’s Dad guiding the youth.
😂😂😂
frank ocean's secret brother😂😂
The fact that Drake’s older 😭
@@yeshankatende840nah he means because he looks like drakes actual dad. “More life” album cover
@@WonkaBiz oh okay
“Get SO close right now”
I was like ayyy is that Jordan the stallion 😂, congratulations to Jordan, President of the Fast Food Secrets club!
This man is younger than me but he's wise enough to be my dad
Jordan doing a TedTalk?? That man really has done every job out there!
Man's challenging Homer Simpson at this point
I clicked on this so fast, can’t believe my guy got on TED talk itself, well deserved!
Method Man's father has a Ted Talk 🔥
Hahaha bro said FATHER 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had no idea this was his story but it makes me so happy to hear. His videos always make me smile so I'm glad to know he's happy and doing well. Way to go, man! Proud of u!
"An impossible dream... It takes an impossible mindset." - Jordan Howlett
Jordan did a TED talk?!?! Woooow!!
Imma do it too, but you don't support me
@@gamelord890 ?? OK, I'll bite. Who are you?
@@sweetrain50 I'm a CZcamsr/Gamer and i've just started my journey.
I primarily look at Jordan's content as entertainment, meaning I've never take anything he says seriously. Never did I think I'd walk away feeling inspired and genuinely impressed by all he's been able to accomplish. Thank you so much TED and Mr. Howlett for this talk. It was truly a blessing! 🙏🏽❤️
Woooooah! From TikTok to a Ted Talk! Congratulations!!!
ooh that rhymes
So happy for Jordan! He’s a great public inspiration speaker. I understand why he looks so much older for his age, he has an old soul and a mindset better than most older adults.
He IS the youth! I am 15 years older than him lol
Jordan is the people's champ! I think that it is wholesome how virtually everyone welcomes his opinion and how relatable he is. He can single-handedly educate America on the important information that school should teach, but never does.
You riding way too hard brother…
I didn’t recognise it was Jordan until I heard the name Harvey. As someone who’s a similar age to Jordan, I have to bow down to his wisdom. Whether it’s fast food secrets or the secrets to success. Bro’s been teaching me a lot and even more than what I’ve learned growing up.
Seriously..? Harvey's mention was a couple minutes in! And Jordan has such a recognizable voice/speech pattern, I could pick him out of a line up by voice alone.
@@spencerkagen1386I normally put on yt podcasts while I work in the back ground, I clicked on it without recognising the name and only looked when I heard the name Harvey and the postman story.
This guy can bring people outta multiple levels of doubt. I be having a bad day and his tiktoks pop up and i feel like maybe this world ain't that bad.
Our president got a TED Talk! What a great Friday. Blessings to everyone!
my favorite rapper method man
Lmao
😂😂
I’m crying 😂😭😭
Seeing him on stage is next level, proud of where he has come from
Best TED talk I've seen in ages; I didn't know any of Jordan's story - what an amazing person! Already loved him as a content creator and a person and this just makes me love him more 🙌🏻 He's such a gifted storyteller.
"Come here, get close"
Back up😂
Nice to see TEDx letting the sage,
older generation impart their wisdom on the youth
this man is a certified legend
Mans got a TED Talk?? True success
Success isn't Linear. I will never forget this phrase, thank you for giving it so much depth and meaning.
That's not really a new concept... Many people have said the same thing. BUT, Jordan's story *_does_* conceptualize it very well. 🤩
Fix that red blotch. It's taking away from Jordans’s greatness. 😊🙏
Lmao exactly, sheesh, I thought it was my phone wiggin out😂🙏🏽
Same here
@@AnastasiaYGamble thought it was my old computer
@@07ikkin Lol that's the worst, thinking your reliable tech is going haywire,TED was having some serious technical difficulties😅😂
They know darn well the clip should of been pristine
@jordan_the_stallion8 You did not fail Division 1 baseball; you accomplished exactly what you set out to do! While your journey has been scattered, I am grateful that you found your calling to bless others from the bathroom mirror. Jordan Howlett, you bless my life everyday! May God continue to bless you and may you continue to bless anyone who has the fortune to encounter your impact in such a circular way. 🙏🏾
What a wonderful sentiment! I’m such a fan of him, too! Glad he found his calling as a content creator and that he listens to his fans!! Keep it up Jordan! Love how he wants to take care of his parents and brother. Grateful what a great example he is for everyone looking for purpose and meaning in life!!
Wow, what an incredible life story. May God continue to bless him in abundance
Amen
Took a class over the winter break and got to hear different speakers from various walks of life leaving me awed or inspired. Now I am listening to THE President of the fast food club on this fantastic platform... this calls for a day of celebration! You deserve this 🎉 👏
I thought just like him while I was in college with depression and being my own support group only to stressfully exhaust myself into failing. All because I forgot I was human and needed more than to just shoot for this goal as hard as I can.
This guy is living his dream, and he so grateful for it too.
Look at this 50 year old man
50 year young man*
MY BOY MADE IT
Love Jordan!! Not your typical gen z, you can tell that he was raised right!
I would love to hear your thoughts on what a typical gen z is.
@celinaharris2417 on bro they act like all gen z are criminals or something.
The youngest Gen Z are now 12 years old. We don't know what they all will be... yet. (Mom of a 12 year old Gen Z.)
So happy I saw this. I already liked him because he’s the president of the fast food secrets club, and now I have so much more respect for him just as a person in general. What an awesome dude.
Knowing this guy is my age is inspirational
this video was in my recommendation and i was like wait aint that the fast talker bathroom guy. I got to see this
This makes me appreciate his videos a lot more
"Come here, closer, closer, not that close....."
JORDAN!!!!!! 🤍 I love this for you.
I am so proud of him. That's our president. You share that recipe and never stop . All power to you.
Was so happy when i saw this guy on tedx talk! He’s an icon😩
Kid's an amazing public speaker. I hope he does more of these. Genuinely proud of him👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dude seriously made it on ted talks and meets up with celebrities, just from posting videos on the tube of recipes. The soft spoken voice helps too.
I had no clue this was Our guy until I came to the comments.
I just put it on and started listening 🤣 didn't even notice without Him saying -"No wait, get closer"
Right I’m so excited for him I sent this to my friend like look at our boy! Dont literally know him cause it feels like our boy haha 😆
I tell my students this as well. Work hard. Have a goal. But keep your eyes open. You might study to be a chemist and end up as a lawyer. You might take a job in a cafe just to pay the bills and discover you love it and become a coffee roaster. Work hard at something. Keep working. Keep moving forward and take opportunities when you see them even if you aren't sure where it will lead you.
wow... the fact that no one believed in him or encouraged him, yet he's such a promising young man. we gotta do better as a society. everyone needs to INTENTIONALLY be kind to children. you may be the only one speaking life into this person. 🧡
Feels like I've been watching your videos forever, can't believe you only started in 2020.
I love that you made it here Jordan.
I can't believe he got an official Ted Talk! Good for him!
I was really looking forward to him saying into the camera, "C'mere. Get closer. Too close, back up." 😂🤣
But seriously, this was very good. I appreciate him even more now. 🥰🤗🤳🪞🚽🛁👀💯👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks, Jordan! 🤭🫶🏽
I’m SO PROUD OF HIM
We love Harvey ❤️ hope he is doing well!
I can imagine him being a great dad
Our Fast Food President 🙌🏾
Im 5 minutes in and i am loving this! I screamed when i saw this out of excitement! Im so proud of you and happy for you Jordan! This is amazing!
The Jordan backstory is WILD!
At first, I was just hype to see him on a large platform. But listening to his story, it made me emotional and inspired.
Jordan is awesome. TED made a great choice inviting him to speaks. He’s very likable.
My boy making it!!!! Let's goooooo!
At a young age, his future is good to get even brighter.
He's totally an inspiration and only 23 years old!
Jordan being on Ted Talk was not on my 2024 bingo card.
WOW CONGRATS MY GUY
Love seeing all of the things Jordan is doing. I'm not used to seeing him speak for more than a minute and zooming in on us 😂
This is awesome! I watched his short doc on his youtube a while ago and it was really inspirational. I was too surprised to see this Ted Talk pop up! I immediately hit play. Well deserved.
Why am BOO-HOOing at the White Sox moment 😭 proud of Jordan's story and every opportunity he's receiving! ❤
I love this, from Tik tok to Ted talks. Anything is possible if you work towards it.
God Jordan is so genuine and wholesome
I can't believe our President went onto ted talk
This is biblical level advice people. LISTEN. Thanks Jordan!
I hope he does another one explaining his skincare/beard routine
Muy bien Jordan!!! Warms my heart to see a young brother like yourself succeed! We need to remember the successes are not IN SPITE of the bad times, but BECAUSE OF them. We learn, grow, keep going!!! ❤
what a heartwrenching story, but what an amazing dude. every inch of his success he fought for and earned the hard way. years of hardwork and dreams seemingly ended, but he never lost that smile and drive
Good to see Jordan going places his Tik Toks always brightened my day
Aye!! It's about time they gave Method Man his Ted Talk
We love this man
Wow, didnt know his background. Shits heart breaking. I'm super happy he's good now 🙏
“An impossible dream takes an impossible mindset“. Great stuff!
Is that Jordan the mother trucking Stallion?!
That's the president of the fast food secrets club
Congratulations on a Ted talk.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is so crazy random! I’m so excited for him. Congrats Jordan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Damn hearing your story makes me want to give you a hug. He fought everyday just to be able to provide for his family, now he finally can while sharing all the fast food secrets
My guy did a Ted Talk. I'm so proud of him!
