In this episode, Greg Barnsdale and I talk about career as a financial advisor, where he would encourage strongly to people the importance of getting their affairs in order, before he had his own brush with potential death after ringing in his left ear led to being diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Greg shares guidance and tips in this episode that are invaluable to anyone who has not yet done their preparations for death.  It is the one thing we will all do and the one thing most hide from!   Greg Barnsdale is an unusual undertaker. After years of stressing to others, ‘Get your final affairs in order’ and finally publishing a book to inspire people, he was diagnosed with a large brain tumor. Faced with a death sentence, he opted for surgery. He’s now emerged with an extremely compelling message, shared by few others. His perspectives are unique as a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Executor Advisor, and hospice volunteer. As a death doula who has published a best-selling book about planning ahead, his message is gaining solid traction. His claims include the fact that end-of-life planning helps reduce the stress of aging, improves family harmony, leaves survivors more emotionally / financially resilient, increases social capital and improves court efficiency. This ultimately bolsters the economy.  He believes Confronting the reality of death also helps us live more fully.     I am your host, Marci Nettles.
