EARLY LIFE
Jordan Livingston’s journey began long before he stepped onto the hardwood. Raised in a hardworking household where values like discipline, respect, and resilience were instilled early, Jordan was surrounded by a community that believed in him—even when life threw its first challenges. It wasn’t always easy, but those early lessons laid the foundation for the mindset he would carry into every season of life.
From the moment he picked up a basketball, Jordan found his first love and his first outlet. The game gave him structure, purpose, and a dream to chase. Whether it was late nights at the gym or early mornings balancing school and training, Jordan learned to embrace the grind. Those formative years weren’t just about building skills on the court—they were about shaping the character that would one day help him turn pain into purpose.
CAREER
Jordan Livingston’s career began on the basketball court, but a sudden loss of his scholarship forced him to pivot in an unexpected direction. That pivotal moment became the fuel for his transformation—from athlete to author, coach, and speaker committed to helping others navigate life’s toughest transitions.
He found his footing in door-to-door sales with Vivint, where constant rejection became a masterclass in resilience. Jordan quickly became a top rookie, sharpening his communication skills, leadership, and mental toughness—skills he now teaches to student-athletes and professionals alike.
Jordan went on to write The Pivot Point and launched Pivot Point Academy, where he offers a full range of personal development programs. His online course, Resilience Training for Student Athletes, and group mastermind, The Rejection Chase, are empowering individuals to bounce forward from life’s setbacks.
Now a sought-after speaker and mentor, Jordan helps others redefine success, find purpose beyond the game, and build a life of lasting impact.
PERSONAL LIFE
Jordan is a man of deep faith who credits God for every step of his journey—from loss to purpose, pain to platform. He believes that life’s pivots are divine redirections and that we all have a calling greater than our circumstances. Off the stage, Jordan is a proud son, loyal friend, and mentor to many. He’s passionate about youth empowerment, personal growth, and of course—basketball. Whether he’s sharing wisdom or putting up shots, Jordan shows up with heart, hustle, and humility.
