Episode Summary:

Join Nate Reineke and Ben Utley as they welcome Jordan Grumet, also known as Doc G, author of The Purpose Code and host of the Earn and Invest podcast.

Guest Info:

Jordan Grumet, born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973, 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.

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 a profound understanding of both medicine and finance, Jordan unveiled his thoughts through blogging, specifically focusing on financial independence and wellness. This passion culminated in the launch of the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018, which received the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast in 2019 and subsequent nominations for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the Year in 2020 and 2021.

In August 2022, Jordan published Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life with Ulysses Press. His second book, The Purpose Code, will be published in January 2025 by Harriman House Press. Jordan’s journey intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom, resonating deeply with those seeking a balanced, meaningful life.
