In this episode, "Memento Mori: Remember You Must Die," we take on a philosophical journey exploring the significance of embracing our mortality. From discussing the potential consequences for businesses if the owner passes away unprepared to unraveling the concept of "amor fati" and the importance of releasing attachments, we delve into the profound impact of acknowledging our impermanence. The episode examines the importance of mindfulness, detachment, and embracing stoic philosophy to lead a more purposeful life. We introduce the idea of time usage, distinguishing between "dead time" and "alive time," and emphasize the significance of being present in moments rather than succumbing to distractions.

Throughout the episode, various philosophical perspectives and historical examples are presented to underscore the need for reflecting on impermanence, values, gratitude, and mindful living. Finally, we encourage listeners to engage in uncomfortable conversations about death and take the necessary steps to plan for the future and leave a meaningful legacy.
