In this energizing new episode, Dr. Dan sits down with physician, author, and podcaster Dr. Jordan Grumet (Doc G) [https://jordangrumet.com/] to explore the difference between meaning and purpose—and how understanding this distinction can transform how we live, work, and love. During their insightful conversation, Dr. Dan and Doc G explore defining questions including: What does it truly mean to live a life of purpose? And why chasing big, audacious goals often leaves us feeling empty instead of fulfilled? Dr. Grumet shares his powerful and personal story from childhood loss and finding community in a small baseball card shop, to his career in medicine and his profound experiences as a hospice doctor. His insights reveal why most of us suffer from “purpose anxiety” and how embracing “little p purpose”—the small, process-oriented actions that light us up—can create joy, resilience, and authentic connection. Dr. Grumet’s wisdom, work, and books (Taking Stock [https://jordangrumet.com/#books] and The Purpose Code [https://jordangrumet.com/#books]) remind us that purpose is not about proving our worth or chasing achievement—it’s about choosing daily actions that energize us and connect us to others. If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious about finding your purpose, or overwhelmed by life’s expectations, this episode will inspire you to slow down, reflect, and embrace the small steps that lead to big change.
