Jim chats with Dr. Jordan Grumet, AKA: Doc G. to explore the themes of entrepreneurship, financial independence, and the FIRE movement. Follow along as we discuss the journey from following traditional career paths to pursuing passions, and the importance of purpose over mere financial goals. Doc G shares insights from his personal experiences as a hospice physician turned blogger, podcaster, and author. He emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to life that integrates purpose, happiness, and financial wellness.

Doc G shares his concepts of meaning and purpose, emphasizing the importance of personal narratives in shaping our happiness. He distinguishes between Big P and Little P purposes, advocating for a more process-oriented approach to fulfillment.

Discover the significance of community and connection in achieving happiness, and how to address the common anxiety surrounding one's search for purpose. Ultimately, Doc G encourages listeners to engage in activities that light them up, suggesting that true fulfillment comes from enjoying the process rather than fixating on audacious goals.

GUEST BIO: Doc G’s interest in becoming a doctor ignited when his father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of life. This profound and life-shaping boyhood loss compelled him to dedicate his early career to the art of medicine. He was an Assistant Professor, first at Northwestern University and then at The University of Chicago. He has been a medical director of several nursing homes, started multiple palliative care programs in extended care facilities, and is an associate medical director for a hospice provider. After shaping his personal finance plan around the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement, Doc G began a new chapter by becoming semi-retired by the age of 45. Today in addition to his work as a hospice doctor, he intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom in writing and speaking engagements that explore the topics of wealth, abundance, and financial independence to help people live meaningful lives. He publishes the Earn and Invest podcast about personal finance and wellness, and has also run several small businesses including a concierge medical practice, an online art gallery, and is the author of two books, including his latest The Purpose Code, How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacy, published in January 2025.
