Episode Description

What does it mean to live a life of purpose? I talk with Jordan Grumet, aka Doc G, host of the Earn & Invest podcast, about how his work as a hospice doctor shaped his understanding of purpose and regret. His new book, "The Purpose Code," offers insights on how to live with intention and meaning.

We talk about the difference between "Big P" and "Little P" purpose and why focusing on grand goals often leads to frustration. Jordan shares how the terminally ill reflect on their lives, emphasizing the courage it takes to prioritize what truly matters.

This conversation is about using time, money, and energy to create a fulfilling life. Whether you're planning retirement or redefining your goals, Jordan's perspective can help you focus on what lights you up and brings you joy.
