Hi, and welcome to the Longview. I'm Christine Ben's Director of Personal Finance and Retirement Planning for Morningstar.

And I'm Jeff Battack, Chief Ratings Officer for Morning Star Research Services.

Our guest on the podcast today is Jordan Grummet. Jordan is a physician and an associate medical director at Journey Care Hospice.

He also hosts the popular Earn and Invest podcast, which he launched after years of

blogging about financial independence and wellness at the website DiverseFI.com.

Jordan's latest book is called Taking Stock, a hospice doctor's advice on financial independence,

building wealth, and living a regret-free life.

In it, he shares lessons that he's learned from interacting with patients during the last

parts of their lives.

Jordan received his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and his medical

degree from Northwestern University.

Jordan, welcome to the Longview.

Could you share that story?
