Discovering Your Purpose in Retirement

3:00 PM EDT, 2:00 PM CDT, 1:00 PM MDT, 12:00 PM PDT

Retirement isn’t the end of your story; it’s the beginning of your most meaningful chapter.

What happens when the titles, roles, and routines that have defined us for decades fade away? For many pre-retirees and retirees, this transition sparks a powerful question: What is my purpose now?

Join Jordan Grumet—physician, hospice doctor, and acclaimed author of The Purpose Code for an inspiring conversation about finding meaning beyond career. Through heartfelt stories and actionable strategies, Jordan will help you:

  • Reconnect with your core values and passions. Redefining success for life after work. Create a legacy that reflects who you truly are

Whether you’re faculty, staff, or a lifelong learner, this session will empower you to embrace retirement as an opportunity to live with intention, joy, and impact.

The Speaker:

Jordan Grumet, born in Evanston, Illinois in 1973, found the spark to become a doctor after a deeply personal event reshaped his life's trajectory. The unexpected loss of his father, an oncologist, ignited a passion within him to practice medicine and instilled a unique vantage point that later melded seamlessly with his financial expertise. This convergence of roles has spurred him to explore profound notions like wealth, abundance, and financial independence with a thoughtful and critical lens.

Completing his studies at the University of Michigan, Jordan earned his medical degree from Northwestern University before embarking on a journey in Internal Medicine in Northbrook, Illinois. Presently, he serves as an associate medical director at Unity Hospice.

With a profound understanding of both medicine and finance, Jordan unveiled his thoughts through blogging, specifically focusing on financial independence and wellness. This passion culminated in the launch of the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. His dedication bore fruit in 2019 when he was honored with the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast, followed by consecutive nominations for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year in 2020 and 2021.

In August 2022, Jordan's literary pursuit took shape as his book, Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor’s Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life was published by Ulysses Press. His second book, The Purpose Code, will be published January 2025 by Harriman House Press. Jordan's journey intertwines medical insight and financial wisdom, resonating deeply with those seeking a balanced, meaningful life.
