The Purpose Code by Jordan Grumet — The New Man Podcast
Does it feel like your life is on hold until you figure out your purpose?
What’s the real reason many folks are driven to be wealthy?
And why do so many “successful” people feel burned out and empty?
Dr Jordan Grumet returns to The New Man to discuss what many believe is the key to their fulfillment — purpose. He’s got a unique experience of being a doctor who helps people at the end of their lives, and he’s also a popular financial podcast host. This means he sees the gap between what is driving so many of us to be wealthy and what really matters.
He’s written a new book called The Purpose Code that I love. It strips away the magical thinking BS and drills down to reveal what purpose and meaning really are. The result is a framework we can all use to do more of what we love, spend time with the people we love, and enjoy the precious time we have on this planet.
In this interview:
- Is trying to find your purpose a trap?
- What is purpose anxiety?
- What is meaning vs purpose?
- Proving we’re enough
- Big P purpose vs small p purpose
Plus:
- What does purpose have to do with flow?
- Doing more of what lights you up vs stuff that you loathe
- The pressure to go big
- What drives burnout?
- How can purpose lead to building the community you want?
About Dr. Jordan Grumet
Jordan Grumet, born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973, found the spark to become a doctor after a deeply personal event reshaped his life’s trajectory. The unexpected loss of his father, an oncologist, ignited a passion within him to practice medicine and instilled a unique vantage point that later melded seamlessly with his financial expertise. This convergence of roles has spurred him to explore profound notions like wealth, abundance, and financial independence with a thoughtful and critical lens.
Completing his studies at the University of Michigan, Jordan earned his medical degree from Northwestern University before embarking on a journey in Internal Medicine in Northbrook, Illinois. Presently, he serves as an associate medical director at Unity Hospice.
With a profound understanding of both medicine and finance, Jordan unveiled his thoughts through blogging, specifically focusing on financial independence and wellness. This passion culminated in the launch of the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. His dedication bore fruit in 2019 when he was honored with the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast, followed by consecutive nominations for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year in 2020 and 2021.
In August 2022, Jordan’s literary pursuit took shape as his book, Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life, was published by Ulysses Press. His second book, The Purpose Code, will be published January 2025 by Harriman House Press. Jordan’s journey intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom, resonating deeply with those seeking a balanced, meaningful life.
