Shownotes Transcript

Is searching for your life's purpose causing more anxiety than fulfillment? Jordan Grumet, a former doctor turned author and podcaster, discovered that chasing "Big P" purpose – those audacious, society-approved goals – often leads to burnout and emptiness. Instead, he advocates for embracing "Little P" purpose: the small, joy-filled activities that light us up, which paradoxically can create deeper impact and meaning than grand aspirations ever could. [Episode 82]

Jordan Grumet is an author, hospice doctor, and financial expert who explores the intersection of medicine, wealth, and meaningful living through his writing and podcasting.
