A note about these special episodes: This year I was invited to present at a summit pertaining to the work I do with A Little Bit of Death, so I who better to join me in speaking on it than the pals that have gone through the process. I reached out to some and asked if I could interview them on their experience with the show, what impact it had, what they shared, why sharing these stories matter. With their permission, I’m sharing the audio from those interviews I’ll be using for my presentation at the summit. One of the last episodes I had recorded before my latest break was about following and following through on your wild ideas. A Little Bit of Death was one of those wild ideas for me and it’s blossomed since the first show 7 years ago. This year, it’ll be held over 2 nights in Hartford, CT at Carriage House Theater on the evenings of Friday November 11th and Saturday November 12th. I thought I’d drop these special episodes leading up to the show this year and I hope you enjoy them and, obviously, join us at the show
