Jordan Grumet: The Purpose Code, Maximizing Happiness, Unlocking Meaning, Leaving Legacy & More | Episode 86
In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Jordan Grumet—physician, FIRE advocate, and author of The Purpose Code: How to Unlock Meaning, Maximize Happiness, and Leave a Lasting Legacy.
We dive deep into what it truly means to live with purpose.
Jordan breaks down the powerful difference between “little p” purpose and “Big P” Purpose—and why understanding that can completely shift how you live your life.
We talk about identifying your purpose anchors, the difference between meaning and purpose, and how to stay focused on process-driven habits that create fulfillment over the long haul.
We also explore topics like overcoming generational trauma, building community through shared purpose, and crafting a legacy that actually matters.
If you’re on the journey to live a life that’s not just fit and rich—but deeply meaningful—this episode will hit home. Let’s dive in.
Please enjoy a wide-ranging conversation with Jordan Grumet.

Key quotes:
“ You have to build your purpose, you have to create it. But usually there are these inklings, these beckonings, these things that could light us up. And that's where we want to build purpose around. I call those purpose anchors.” - Jordan Grumet
“I love the concept of the climb because it's focused on the process of it. I think about the areas of life where I've achieved some modicum of success, both in fitness and wealth building. And I honestly attribute a lot of that success to falling in love with the climb, the actual process of it.” - Justin David Carl
