    256: Courtney was able to say goodbye

    2026/05/22 | 1h 26 mins.
    Today’s episode deals with a controversial question: Should a
    person be legally allowed to get medical assistance to end their own
    life?

    And
    keep in mind, this usually pertains to someone who is terminally ill,
    and who is also mentally and emotionally stable enough to make that
    decision on their own.

    Here
    in the US, most states still do not allow it. But Medical Assistance
    in Dying is legal in all of Canada. That’s where Courtney lives.

    Courtney
    told this amazing story on the podcast about four years ago. It’s
    the story of her mother’s decision, and it’s both wonderful and
    heartbreaking.

    And
    stick around after, because I was able to record a chat with Courtney
    to get an update on what’s happened since we last spoke.

    If
    you’d like to contact Courtney: [email protected]

    255: Jayson prevented a murder

    2026/05/15 | 1h 2 mins.
    One of the things that makes this life so interesting is that
    something can happen that’s life-changing, when you least expect
    it.

    I
    mean, you’re just going about your day – stopping at the grocery
    store, or putting gas in your car, just a routine day. Then something
    totally unexpected happens, right in front of you.

    I
    remember one time when I was just on my way to work in the morning.
    Just driving on this rural road in Maine, and there was a pickup
    truck in front of me. And there was a man riding in the back – in
    the open bed of the truck. He was standing, facing forward, just
    hanging out. All of a sudden that truck went to the right, off the
    road, right into a power pole. I don’t know what caused the driver
    to lose control, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. Even
    the guy in the truck bed was mostly okay. But it just happened so
    fast.

    My
    guest today is Jayson. He was having a pretty normal day, just
    running some errands.

    Then
    he found himself unexpectedly witnessing an attempted murder.

    If
    you’d like to contact Jayson, you can do that through his website:

    http://www.jaysoncross.com/

    You
    can also find him on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok:
