You’re going to die after listening to this. That’s a hard truth, but most of us don’t act that way. In this podcast, we talk to a couple of doctors that did. And in doing so, found a way to align their passions with their paychecks. They found a way to love what they do. So listen in as we talk to Doctors Jordan Grumet and Andy Berkowski whose brushes with death gave them the courage to take real action towards finding true fulfillment in their work. Dr. Jordan Grummet was a hospice doctor when he realized too many people waited until it was too late to live the life they truly wanted to live. This set him on a path to live his own life that way. He got his finances in order, reduced his workload for anything that didn’t fill his bucket, started leaning into things he was passionate about, and eventually became a full-time author, podcaster, and speaker with a side of medicine, not the other way around. Dr. Andy Berkowski was a sleep doctor working in a research facility when he had a brush with death himself, facing a serious cancer diagnosis. He too got his finances in order and took different opportunities in research until he figured out that starting a direct care practice was the thing that would bring him the most joy and create the most impact. You’ll see some recurring themes in these stories once they gain clarity-Getting their finances in order Taking iterative steps toward their passions Finally, understanding they could make their medical careers be the thing that supports their passion, not the other way around. We hope by listening to this, we help you gain the clarity that proximity to death gave them. But don’t forget, you have limited time to act…. Enjoy! Transform your financial outlook today!
