Now before we jump into this episode a quick warning there's some swearing.

Being sick all the time helps me it helps me focus in on like I don't have a lot of energy to spend

so I don't have any time to fuck around and I just need to do the shit that I need to do and that's it. It's

pretty fucking simple.

Hello. Hello, and welcome to the future. I am Chris Doe. Let me start this episode by asking you this question. Do you ever think about your own mortality? Like the fact that

you're going to die one day, and if you're lucky, that is, you don't die suddenly and you

have a moment to reflect back on your life and ask, did I waste the life I was given?

Did I seize every opportunity to make the most of myself?

Well that question takes us 7, 497 miles away to an Australian nurse, Bronny Ware.

She took care of terminally ill patients with only a few weeks of life to live.

And in talking to them she noticed a common theme.

When she would ask them, what do you wish you had done with your life?

What are your regrets?

The response to which was,

I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself

instead of living the life others expected of me.

Here's a clip from her TED Talk.

Almost every regret came down to a lack of courage.

So, you know, how do we actually get the courage to start living true to the song that our own heart is singing and to honor

that calling. One of the first things we can do is face the face. honor that for disease control and prevention. The average lifespan of an American male is 76.4 years.

For women, it's a little bit longer, like 4.8 years longer.

Somehow women manage to live to an average of 81.2 years.
