What happens when the career you built your life around stops feeling like it fits? Today, I’m talking to Jordan Grummet about what it really looks like to wrestle with purpose—especially during big life transitions like retirement.

Jordan opens up about losing his father at a young age, pursuing medicine to honor his legacy, and eventually realizing that career wasn’t fulfilling him. We covered the struggle between societal expectations and our own authentic path, and how to find meaning after a life-altering shift.

Jordan, an author and host of the Earn & Invest podcast, brings a perspective shaped by both his work in hospice care and his own experience of stepping away from a path that no longer felt right.

It’s a conversation about what happens when we let go of old identities and start figuring out what comes next.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why purpose feels like such a monumental challenge in retirement

Jordan’s story of legacy, loss, and what medicine couldn’t give him

The slow burn of professional misalignment and how he woke up to it

How powerful external voices influence our life choices

The Purpose Code path forward into a more meaningful second act

The Purpose Code

Only 5% of homes in the U.S. are moderately accessible. Stairways, sunken living rooms, poorly designed bathrooms, and trip hazards are just the start.

Greg Cantore’s journey has spanned bicycle mechanics to defense work and leading nonprofit programs. But his mother-in-law’s experience living in a house that wasn’t designed for her needs opened his eyes to the bigger issue.

After modifying her home, and later adjusting to her needs in assisted living, Greg realized there was a larger need for accessible, supportive home solutions. Today, he runs Little Deeds, a company dedicated to making homes safer and more accessible for aging individuals.

Your home should support you as you age. Find out how Greg is helping make that a reality for so many.

You don’t have to spend hours in the gym to stay strong and mobile as you age. My guest, Mark Firehammer, created myFeelness to help men remain functional without grueling workouts or fitness gimmicks.

At 43, Mark’s body started pushing back. There were aches, stiffness, and limits he couldn’t ignore. He knew something had to change but wasn’t willing to spend hours in the gym.

That led him to rethink movement entirely. Mark found a way to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free through small, mindful movements. Now, he’s helping other men do the same with a system that keeps you moving without intense workouts.

If you care about moving well, feeling good, and staying strong as you get older, you’ll want to hear this one.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Simple daily moves to check how well your body is working

• Why your nervous system is the key to better movement

• How paying attention to your body can improve your health

• The problem with mainstream fitness advice and what actually works

• What it really means to be "Out of Function" (and how to fix it)

• A small mindset shift that could help you avoid serious health problems
