In this "10 Things Thursday" episode of the Earn and Invest podcast, host Doc G revisits themes from his book, The Purpose Code, to explore the profound impact of purpose on our lives. He structures the episode around ten core insights, aiming to demystify purpose and offer actionable advice for cultivating it without falling into common psychological traps. Doc G begins by emphasizing that purpose fundamentally matters because studies link it to better health, increased happiness, and greater longevity—acting much like a miracle pill without the side effects. He then defines the happiness equation as a combination of meaning and purpose. He clarifies that "meaning" is cognitive, relating to how we make peace with our past and the stories we tell ourselves. "Purpose," on the other hand, is entirely action-based; it is rooted in the present and future, consisting of the activities that actively light us up. A major theme of the episode is dismantling the myth that purpose is something you "find". Doc G argues that treating purpose like a hidden needle in a haystack leads to analysis paralysis and what researcher Lissa Rainey identified as "purpose anxiety"—a condition affecting up to 91% of people. This anxiety manifests as frustration, depression, and even job-hopping as people restlessly search for a singular calling. Instead of finding purpose, Doc G insists that we must actively build it by testing out activities and seeing what brings us joy. Doc G attributes much of our purpose anxiety to societal pressures from parents, social media, and advertising, which push us toward what he calls "Big P purpose". He declares that Big P purpose is "always bad" because it is strictly goal-oriented, relying on massive, scarce achievements like becoming an astronaut, running a seven-figure business, or having six-pack abs. This sets people up for failure, loss aversion, or an endless "achievement treadmill". Conversely, he heavily advocates for "Little P purpose," which is process-oriented. Little P purpose involves engaging in abundant, failure-proof activities that induce a "flow state" where you lose track of time simply because you love the process. While Big P purpose is bad, Doc G clarifies that having goals is not inherently wrong, provided they don't ruin the process. For example, aiming for a million podcast downloads is fine if you genuinely enjoy the daily work of recording and interviewing. However, if achieving that goal requires doing things you hate—like making TikTok videos—it morphs into toxic Big P purpose. Ultimately, there are no strict rules for purpose; it can be a lifelong global mission or a fleeting, selfish hobby. By focusing on the easy, joyful pursuit of Little P purpose, Doc G believes individuals will naturally attract others and create a lasting legacy that impacts generations far more effectively than striving for unattainable grandiosity. In the episode's closing community segment, Doc G reads an email from a listener named Ted N., who shares his own "10 keys" to building wealth and achieving financial independence. Ted's strategy highlights a steady path to financial independence, including consistent investing, limiting debt, earning a Master's degree to boost income, living simply, taking full advantage of a company 401(k) match over 33 years, and prioritizing experiences like family vacations over material goods. Ted also emphasizes relying on a company pension plan and, most importantly, maintaining an "attitude of gratitude". Doc G concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to share their own lists and directing them to his Substack for detailed show notes and his weekly blog posts Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been 37 some odd years since moe. first started coming together at the University of Buffalo. Since then they've released 14 albums. They've played on some huge stages, playing Woodstock '99, rocking out Bonnaroo throughout the 2000's. Inviting bands like The Avett Brothers, The Black Keys, Bruce Hornsby, Method Man and Redman and so many others to their moe.down festival. And this year they're firing moe.down back up. Before moe. starts off on their Born to Fly tour (they'll be in Ponte Vedra on 3/26) their lead singer Rob Derhak was nice enough to stop by the show! Rob and Doc talked about Rob's Boston fandom, the NBA playoffs, starting the band, getting lumped into the "jam band" scene, playing '99 Woodstock, performing with his daughter, doing moe.down, playing with Goose and so much more. Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc has assembled the perfect cattle drive posse for 1986. The cattle drive posse includes Stanley Tucci, Cowboy Kent Rollins, Jack Nicholson, Bill Murray and Dick Van Dyke.

In this episode of the Earn and Invest podcast, host Doc G interviews Tony Award-winning Broadway producer Ken Davenport about the mechanics and appeal of passion investing, specifically in Broadway shows. Davenport compares passion investing to buying a sports team: it is a way for individuals with financial security to add joy and potential profit to their portfolios. He emphasizes that investing in a Broadway show is essentially like investing in a startup company; it is a brand-new product trying to penetrate the market, which inherently makes it highly risky Learn more about your ad choices.

Millennials didn't just change how people invest -- they changed what investing even looks like. Cheaper, faster, more automated, and occasionally more dangerous than anything that came before. The real question isn't whether to adopt their habits. It's which ones are actually building wealth and which ones are quietly lighting your portfolio on fire. Joe, OG, Jen Smith (Frugal Friends), and Doc G (Earn & Invest) sort the signal from the noise. What You'll Walk Away With The quiet Millennial investing shift that made building wealth more accessible than any generation before them -- and why most people missed it Why automation may be the single most powerful tool in your financial stack, and the one condition that turns it against you The difference between technology built to help you invest and technology built to keep you tapping the trade button How budgeting apps can create real spending clarity -- or accidentally trigger what the crew calls "procrasti-spending" Why fewer investment decisions often outperform more of them, and what the research actually says The hidden cost of frictionless trading and why the winning move is sometimes the most boring one available Where to take big swings if you want outsized rewards -- and why your long-term portfolio probably isn't the right arena How Millennials are diversifying beyond just assets, and what that broader thinking means for investors in their 40s The honest tension between values-based investing and long-term returns -- and how serious investors are navigating it without sacrificing either What growing portfolio customization actually means for everyday investors who aren't managing millions Why This Matters Now If you're in your 40s, you've watched an entire new financial infrastructure get built around a generation younger than you -- and you may be wondering what's worth borrowing. More access and more information don't automatically produce better outcomes. Knowing which Millennial habits genuinely compound over time, and which ones just feel productive, is the kind of edge that shows up in your account balance a decade from now. From the Basement OG makes his case for patience (again), Doc G steers things toward the bigger life picture, and Jen Smith grounds the conversation in the money habits real people actually use. Doug surfaces a trivia question involving a NASA probe budget -- and whether you think you know the answer or not, the basement scoreboard has a way of humbling even the most confident Stacker.

In this Thursday “10 Things” episode of the Earn & Invest Podcast, Doc G shares his personal list of the ten biggest reasons he believes he successfully built wealth. Inspired by a recent conversation with financial historian Joseph Moore, Jordan begins by acknowledging the privileges that helped shape his path, including being born in the United States and growing up with professional parents. But he emphasizes that a series of specific habits and decisions—some simple and some unconventional—ultimately accelerated his financial journey. First, he credits relentless consistency. Inspired by Nick Maggiulli's philosophy of “just keep buying,” Jordan invested throughout his entire career regardless of market conditions. Even when he made early mistakes—buying individual stocks or expensive mutual funds—the habit of consistently purchasing assets eventually led him to the simplicity and power of broad index fund investing. Second, he explains why he never relied on a traditional budget. Instead, he and his wife automated their finances by living off one income while sending the entirety of the second income directly into savings and investments. This approach allowed them to build wealth automatically while avoiding the stress of tracking every spending category. Jordan also discusses why he stopped worrying about financial minutiae. Rather than chasing small optimizations like credit card points or the highest-yield savings accounts, he focused on the big financial moves—saving large portions of income, investing consistently, and building a profitable business. Throughout the episode, he highlights several other mindset shifts that shaped his success: ignoring people who said something “couldn't be done,” redesigning his medical practice into a low-overhead concierge model, and thinking in decades rather than weeks or months when pursuing long-term projects. He also shares the importance of embracing failure through experimentation, adopting an abundance mindset, losing interest in accumulating material possessions, and forgiving himself for inevitable financial mistakes along the way.

What if the best financial advice isn't new—but simply forgotten? In this episode of Earn & Invest, Doc G sits down with historian Joseph S. Moore, author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked—and Didn't. Moore spent a decade exploring centuries of advice aimed at everyday Americans, testing which strategies actually worked—and which didn't. Remarkably, his research led him to build a seven-figure net worth using lessons from the past. Moore's journey began with a personal financial scare: after taking a risky “NINJA loan” to buy a townhouse in 2005, he realized his vulnerability as the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 approached. Selling his home just in time sparked a curiosity that would consume the next decade. One of his most surprising findings? Optimism is a powerful predictor of financial success. Research from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shows that believing you can shape your financial future often outweighs inheritance or education. Moore argues that financial “gurus,” often dismissed for overhyping strategies, actually provide hope and practical frameworks that help people take action. We also explore how many “modern” wealth tactics are centuries old. House hacking—renting out spare rooms to pay a mortgage—was once a standard working-class strategy, frequently managed by women whose contributions rarely appeared in official statistics. Mobility was another forgotten tactic; in the 1800s, roughly one in three Americans moved annually to chase opportunity. Moore introduces the concepts of slow time and fast time: slow time is when we build skills, capital, and relationships; fast time is when booms, crashes, or major shifts create opportunities. Those prepared in slow time can seize advantage when fast time arrives. We also discuss concentration vs. diversification, the myth of effortless compound returns, and why financial independence isn't the finish line—it's the point when life becomes flexible enough to pursue meaningful goals. For anyone curious about wealth-building, historical financial strategies, or the patterns behind money and opportunity, this episode offers practical insights drawn from 300 years of experience.
