In this episode, I have a conversation with George Bernales about how to use death as a motivator to achieve your goals. We both believe that death is something that most cultures do not talk about enough and it is not until we are in our death beds that we come face to face with all the regrets, the shortcomings, and the what ifs of life. Death is inevitable, therefore, we should face it and aim at becoming the best selves we can become.
