CORDELL JOHNSON — Filmmaker & Director | Pain Built My Purpose

Creativity is not just talent — sometimes it’s survival.

In this episode of TIMELESS with Teddy, London-born entrepreneur and creative Cordell Johnson — widely known as Cordell Jay — shares the story behind a life built on resilience, creativity and purpose.

Having worked across film, television, fashion and corporate production on both sides of the camera, Cordell reflects on the journey that shaped him — from difficult moments that tested his resolve to building a reputation as a trusted creative capable of delivering powerful visual stories.

Through his creative platform Pull Up, Cordell has made it his mission not only to create impactful content but also to mentor, empower and open doors for the next generation of creatives.
