Since starting this podcast, I’ve thought a lot about the legacy that I eventually want to leave behind. If you’ve tuned in to an episode of this podcast, you know that I close out each episode by asking my guests this question “When all is said and done, what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?” I reflect on my own legacy in this short episode. I hope this makes you think about the legacy you are building.

Suicide is a challenging topic. TV producer, director and screenwriter, Stan Zimmerman, wrote "right before I go", after losing a close friend to suicide. This play is full of raw emotion and hope.

The play runs from June 9 - June 12 at the Monroe Theatre Guild in Monroe, WI. You can purchase tickets at: https://www.monroetheatre.com/buy-tickets.html
