"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any point". In today's Routine Checkup, the fellas sit down with a duo that's bringing dreams to life in the most extraordinary way. Dr. Mike Bennett, a social work professor from the University of Texas at Arlington, and Jay Soulliere, a high-flying talent agent at The Feldman Agency, join forces in an unusual but inspiring partnership. They are the heart and soul behind Oneday Dreams, a charity giving hope and happiness to those facing life's final chapter. Mike and Jay dive into how they're turning dreams into reality for individuals and their loved ones during the toughest of times. They share the nuts and bolts of running a national charity with zero paid staff, relying solely on a dedicated team of volunteers, and how every dream, big or small, is brought to fruition with the support of local communities and businesses. They also discuss their commitment to inclusivity, working closely with Indigenous communities, and supporting the homeless with palliative care. But it's not just about fulfilling dreams. Mike and Jay are also revolutionizing end-of-life care conversations. By educating healthcare professionals across Canada, they're shifting the focus to a more holistic, person-centered approach, proving that sometimes, a little dream can make a world of difference.
