Jordan Schwarzenberger Part Two: A Radical Religious Conversion

Could finding religion allow Gen Z to better find their place in
the world? That is the assessment made by Jordan Schwarzenberger,
the manager of Europe’s biggest YouTube group Sidemen and advisor
to Downing Street’s Small Business Council. He converted to
Catholicism in 2020 after being a devout atheist all his life.


He now argues that we're too obsessed with pleasure and that in
turning our backs on the Catholic Church we have become a less
moral society.


Jordan tells Amol about how he came to Christianity at a Kanye
West album launch party, how his new-found faith has impacted his
life and why he wants more people to follow in his footsteps.


This is part two of Amol’s Jordan Schwarzenberger interview. Look
back in your feed for the first part, where Jordan explains how
to build a successful brand on social media.
