Jordan Frisbee + Tatiana Mollmann: No Guts, No Story

As champion west coast swing dancers, and beloved around the world, Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollman took some time out of their crazy travel schedule to share some thoughts on their career path. What I love about this episode is that both Jordan and Tatiana shed light on some of the lesser talked about aspects of the dance and their careers. For example: how does one take a hobby they love and turn it into a career without burning out? As Jordan said, “It’s really about how to keep falling in love with this dance over and over again, on our terms.” Jordan and Tatiana are true pioneers and innovators and have carved a legacy all their own due to their bold choices along the way. In this episode we get to dive into… • The role patience has played in J&T’s journey to success (3:30) • How J&T built their successes on several “failures” (5:00) • J&T tell about their transition from hobby dancers to professional dancers (6:50) • How J&T pioneered a new way to be a “dance professional” within their dance community and with the help of the YouTube generation (8:40) • What are the beliefs that J&T hold that help them keep their work fresh? (11:00) • How they planned to prevent burn out (12:20) • How J&T pioneered their own version of being a “Professional,” and how they’re currently pioneering their own version of being “retired professionals” (13:20) • The difference between being a competitor and being an artist (13:50) • J&T’s biggest pet peeve within the dance, and how they turned it into their greatest source of freedom now (15:48) • How Jordan and Tatiana have both dealt with their biggest challenges along the way (17:00) • Where J&T each go for inspiration - hint: it’s not within the West Coast Swing world (22:35) • Jordan and Tat’s top tips for gathering inspiration on the go (24:00) • Jordan and Tatiana’s rule for creativity (25:00) • How Jordan and Tatiana have found a loophole to clone themselves (27:40) • The role that dance has played in both Tatiana and Jordan’s lives (32:40) • Jordan’s big secret ;) (33:45) • Tatiana’s career revelation (35:20)
