Fulfillment Over FIRE w/ Dr. Jordan Grumet #929

What does it mean to pursue joy and purpose in your life? Is it some sort of never-ending scavenger hunt, where we’re hoping to find something that is just out of reach, hidden behind the next corner? Or is it something that we’re able to achieve because it’s something that we’ve created? Our guest today would argue that it’s more of the latter! We’re joined by our friend Dr. Jordan Grumet to talk less about the what and the how behind personal finance, and more about the why, and how our money is one of many tools that will allow us to achieve our individual sense of purpose. His new book, The Purpose Code, delves into these amorphous topics in a way that allows readers to have clarity, understanding, and even a to-do list as Jordan prescribes some simple actions that we can take now that will allow us to surely but steadily find fulfillment. Listen as we discuss the difference between “Big P” purpose vs “little p” purpose, the intersection of happiness and money, one of the foremost markers of a happy life, and plenty more!
