Jordan Grumet 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.
In this episode, I talk with Jordan about the shift from chasing societal ideals to building true purpose. Jordan shares insights from his new book, The Purpose Code, emphasizing how embracing community and aligning with personal anchors of joy can lead to a fulfilling life. We also discuss the psychological impact of social media, generational trauma vs. generational growth, and the challenges of defining a moral and ethical life.
