In this episode, Dr. Jay sits down with Dr. Jordan Grumet (Doc G) to explore his shift from full-time medicine to part-time hospice care—and the profound lessons he's learned about life's purpose along the way. Drawing from his upcoming book The Purpose Code (releasing January 7, 2025), Doc G breaks down the difference between “big P” purpose—goal-driven and ambitious—and “little P” purpose, which is about enjoying life's journey.Discover practical strategies to uncover your own purpose, from revisiting childhood joys to conducting life reviews. We also challenge the idea of financial independence as the ultimate life goal and explore why human connection is key to true happiness.

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 expertise in medicine and finance, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018, earning a Plutus Award in 2019 and nominations in 2020 and 2021. He is the author of Taking Stock (2022) and The Purpose Code (2025), offering insights on financial independence, wealth, and purposeful living. Jordan's journey intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom, resonating deeply with those seeking a balanced, meaningful life.Connect with Doc G on Instagram: @earnaninvest or Facebook: @docgreen .#LifePurpose #FindYourPurpose #HumanConnection #MeaningfulLiving #PurposeOverMoney #Childfr The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples.
