On today's Tuesday People podcast we discuss graduations. Why do they stop after college? Why shouldn't there be the same type of recognition for similar moments in life? Shouldn't all meaningful passages we go through end with some sort of celebration of our successful transition? Inspired by a recent graduation at Mitch's Have Faith Haiti Mission & Orphanage, Mitch believes we should give ourselves more credit as adults for starting something, reaching the end of that phase, and - when we do - treat ourselves to a ceremony worthy of a cap and gown!

Sudden death. It's nothing we ever prepare for, nor is it the sort of death most people think about when they picture themselves at the end of their lives. On today's Tuesday People episode, Mitch Albom shares a harrowing story of his past two weeks spent in Haiti, at the same time the country's president was assassinated. With martial law being declared, borders closed and a mandatory lockdown issued, the outcome for all was uncertain. Mitch remembered the Buddhist story that Morrire shared about the bird on the shoulder. Every day you ask the bird, "Is today the day that I die?" If the bird says yes, you must ask yourself if you are prepared. Are we ever prepared? How do we know when we are ready? Please join us for this very important episode.

On today's episode of the Tuesday People Podcast, host Mitch Albom recaps his annual all-day birthday celebration food fest, and takes the question of, "What is the perfect day?" a step further by asking, "What is the perfect celebration?"
