Anxiety-Free Purpose: Framework for Creating Purpose in Your Life | E157 Jordan Grumet

Why save and invest? It’s a rhetorical question, but let’s think it through.

When you save and invest, you’re sharing financial resources with your future self. This means your future self won’t have to worry about earning money. With that financial freedom, you gain time—the time you would’ve spent working. And with more time, you have more freedom to choose how to you spend your time.

You might ask yourself, "What do I want to do with my time?" Maybe it’s traveling, exercising, or catching up on sleep. But then what? That question often leads to something deeper—finding your purpose.

That’s a topic my friend Jordan Grumet, aka Doc G, knows a lot about. As a hospice doctor and the author of The Purpose Code, Jordan has explored purpose, connection, and identity in depth.

In this episode, he shares insights from his latest book and helps answer the big question: “How do I find my purpose?”—or if it even needs to be found.

If you’ve been reflecting on your purpose, well buckle up, this episode is for you.

Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation with the hospice doctor and author of the newly minted book, The Purpose, Code..Jordan Grumet.

Key Takeaways:

  • How collections can bring you joy
  • Little P purpose vs big P purpose
  • The importance of the climb
  • The 3 levers to create a more purpose-filled job
