    In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Haythem Naji. Haythem's journey from an immigrant in Germany to a successful online writer and mentor is a testament to resilience and self-discovery. After escaping to Australia, he faced language barriers and cultural challenges but ultimately transformed his life through writing. His experiences in Ethiopia shaped his understanding of community and purpose, leading him to pursue a career in ghostwriting and eventually mentoring others. Despite achieving financial success, he learned the importance of balance and authenticity in his work, redefining his path to freedom and fulfillment. In this conversation, Haythem shares his journey of finding freedom through constraints in his work, building credibility online, and the importance of authentic storytelling. We explore the continuous improvement in writing, the significance of changing one's environment for personal growth, and how fitness plays a crucial role in transformation. Haythem emphasizes the need to optimize for freedom in wealth and the essence of happiness through presence and self-awareness. If you’re ready for a powerful conversation about writing, personal growth, and building a life of meaning and freedom, this episode is for you. Enjoy this wide-ranging discussion with Haythem Naji.

Myke breaks down exactly how he turns pain into purpose. We dive deep into breaking the victim mentality, the power of documenting your journey publicly, and what it really takes to reinvent your life from the ground up.

    Jordan Grumet: The Purpose Code, Maximizing Happiness, Unlocking Meaning, Leaving Legacy & More | Episode 86
    Jul 9 2025
    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.

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 Full Show Notes w/ Links to resources: www.fitrichlife.com/podcast/ FIT RICH LIFE NEWSLETTER Get fit, get rich, and live your best life in 10 minutes a week.
