No Bad Days, Just Bad Minutes: Goal Setting with an Autism Super Dad Jordan Modiano

Goals DO Come True with Doug Bennett

Doug is joined by Jordan Modiano, a business owner, race car driver, leadership trainer, and motivational speaker who proudly calls himself an "Autism Super Dad." Jordan shares his thoughts on everything from goal setting and leadership to how his daughter's autism has shaped his approach to life and business. Jordan's stories and lessons will inspire you to rethink your approach to goals, leadership, and personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Share your goals with people who matter and provide detailed explanations of how you'll achieve them. This creates accountability and support systems for when times get tough
• Success requires levelling up your circle, seek out businesses and people who are where you want to be to accelerate your growth
• Treat goals like milestones, breaking them down into smaller chunks while celebrating progress along the way
• True leadership is about making other people's lives better, regardless of your position or title
• Put distance between events and your responses; bad minutes don't have to become bad days
• People are always watching. Small actions and interactions can have profound impacts you may never know about
• Goals require different accountability approaches for different situations, what works for yourself may not work for others
• Confidence in goal setting is crucial - "Trying" to achieve something already provides an excuse for failure

BEST MOMENTS

"Having a daughter on the autism spectrum, she shows me what she's capable of. And I sit back and go, wow, if she can do that, what are we capable of?”.

"Experience isn't wisdom, experience is experience, experience matched with reflection. That becomes wisdom. That's where your lessons come from."

"You know, they say, show me your friends. I'll show you your future. If you hang around with five millionaires, you'll be the sixth. If you hang around with five alcoholics, you'll be the sixth."

"You think about the best teams in the world, what makes the best team? Trust. And what's the foundation for trust? Vulnerability."

Jordan Modiano, business owner, race car driver, leadership trainer, motivational speaker and Autism Super Dad, has made a habit of setting goals and accomplishing them. In 2008 at the height of the recession he quit his job and started a business and grew it to a huge success. Goal Accomplished. In 2025 he left that and started a business focused on helping others. Jordan had a goal of reaching a specific milestone within 3 years which would allow him to expand to another territory. Goal Accomplished. In 2021, combining passion and purpose Jordan set out with a goal to raise money and awareness for Autism. Three years later that one achievement has turned into an annual event, the launch of a not-for profit organisation and so many lives positively impacted.
