1088: Kristin & Montell Jordan
“Marriage Masterpeace”
Leadership and Performance Coach. Creative Communicator
What if one of the biggest party anthems ever written—a song you still can’t resist singing along to—was actually born from a story of faith, redemption, and a fight for something greater than fame?
In this game-changing episode of Thrive LouD, host Lou Diamond sits down with Montell and Kristin Jordan, the powerhouse couple behind the iconic track “This Is How We Do It”—and behind Marriage Masterpiece, their transformational ministry designed to help couples rebuild and thrive together. You’ll hear the story of how Montell and Kristin chose their marriage and faith over the relentless pull of the music industry, and how they turned their hardest moments into hope for countless others.
Key Highlights:
The real reason Montell and Kristin walked away from music to save their marriage—and how that decision sparked a calling to help others (including candid confessions about overcoming infidelity and pain)
Why vulnerability and transparency (not just “baring it all”) became the glue that held them together and a cornerstone of their work with couples
Their insights on identity: How Montell and Kristin learned to stop letting “what you do” define “who you are”—and why this lesson is crucial for everyone, no matter your industry
Content creation as legacy: How their message, just like their music, is designed to stand the test of time—and how you can create impact that echoes for generations
Plus, enjoy a spirited speed round with Montell and Kristin’s favorites in movies, food, activities, and travel—plus a sneak peek into what’s next for Marriage Masterpiece, including exclusive retreat and event info.
