Summary
Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Jordan Grumet back to the podcast. Jordan is the Associate Medical Director at Unity Hospice, a financial blogger, and the host of the Earn and Invest Podcast.
In his new book, The Purpose Code: How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacy, he follows up his work in Taking Stock to explore how to make a mark, set goals that are meaningful to you, and create a map for anyone to find happiness.
In our conversation, Jordan shares examples, exercises, and tools you can use to define and create meaning in your life right now. We talk about how finding meaning and purpose is accomplished by taking action and working towards it, and how Jordan's rules help turn your "purpose anchors" into forward momentum.
