In this powerful premiere of the Digital Legacy Podcast, host Niki Weiss sits down with filmmaker Bradley Berman to discuss his deeply personal documentary, Jack Has a Plan. The film chronicles the final chapter of Jack’s life — a man diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor who chose to take control of his death while leaving behind a profound digital legacy. Bradley offers intimate behind-the-scenes insights into Jack’s 25-year journey, from his diagnosis in the 1990s to his courageous decision to use medical aid in dying. Together, Niki and Bradley explore the intersection of end-of-life planning, storytelling, and technology — and how we can approach death with honesty, compassion, and purpose. In this episode, we cover: - Jack’s inspiring choice to shape his final chapter with dignity - How medical aid in dying raises ethical and emotional questions - The role of digital storytelling in preserving legacies - Understanding anticipatory grief for families and friends - Why conscious end-of-life planning is an act of love This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in estate planning, caregiving, conscious dying, or living with intention. Jack’s humor, honesty, and bravery shine through a story now airing nationally on PBS and streaming on Amazon Prime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to the channel here: ➡️@DigitalLegacyPodcast For more resources related to this podcast or partner resources, click here: ➡️ https://stan.store/endevo_digitallegacy Follow Us Here: ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... ➡️ Instagram: / deathanddyinginthedigitalage ➡️ TikTok: / digitallegacypodcast Join Us in planning for the most inevitable thing to happen in this life- Death - and create peace of mind for those you leave behind: ➡️ https://digitallegacypodcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download MY FINAL PLAYBOOK App to take our FREE educational course: 🔗App Store- apps.apple.com/us/app/my-final-playbook/id6502518647 🔗Google Play- play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.p4tze2b0necm.pgwvu5pucapp 🔗Website- final-playbook.passion.io/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take our 2-minute quiz today at https://www.endevo.life/ to get your preparedness score and three actionable steps you can implement today to protect your digital legacy and your loved ones. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌟 Listen to the podcast: Apple Podcasts ➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
