What does it mean to die with dignity in the digital age? 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.
