  • Coffin Talk #250 Hospitals & Hospice
    Oct 26 2025

    This episode is dedicated to my Mother-in-Law, Ann Cone-Sevi, who passed away yesterday, on Saturday, October 25th. In just eight years, She become one of the most important people in my life, and I’m devastated, but not just personally. I’m sorry for humanity’s loss, as Ann was one of the most loving and caring people I’ve met. For most of her life she tirelessly worked with the homeless, the mentally-ill, and anyone else who needed help, and she was still performing social work just two weeks prior to her passing. I’m humbled and honored to have had the chance to know and love her.

    I miss you, Ann. Thank you for the gifts of your love, your daughter, and your unwavering compassion.

  • #249 - Ex-Hedgefund Manager - Aaron Scott
    Oct 19 2025

    With close to two decades of professional experience on Wall Street, Aaron Scott brings a unique perspective to many of the systemic issues that plague us in the modern age. He has used his professional experience in many ways as a mirror into the identity he, and many of us, assume by way of societal indoctrination. He dissects this identity as well as inherited belief systems, not solely through a metaphysical lens, but through the actual day-to-day economic, educational, medical and religious systems whose consciousness we embody.

  • #248 - Blind at Eighteen - Laura Bratton
    Oct 12 2025

    At the age of nine, Laura was diagnosed with an eye disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. She has since authored the memoir Harnessing Courage and founded Ubi Global, an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude. She’s also, in the opinion of this host, a true mensch*.

    (*Note: A mensch is “a woman who embodies traits of integrity, kindness, decency, and compassion.”)
