Summary

Guest Jordan Grumet, hospice doctor and financial expert shares his many conversations with people who were approaching the end of their lives, their regrets, brights spots and fears. What do they really wish they'd done with their money? Jordan is the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life. It will be released in August. More about Jordan: His interest in becoming a doctor was ignited when his father, an oncologist, died unexpectedly in the prime of life. This profound loss not only inspired him to practice medicine, it has given him a unique perspective as a financial expert, challenging him to think deeply and critically about concepts like wealth, abundance, and financial independence. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Jordan received his medical degree from Northwestern University. He currently is an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice. After years of blogging about financial independence and wellness, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
