What makes a good life? Is it money? Fans or followers? Health? Success? Having a family? Creating a spiritual practice?
"We're All Going To Die, Anyway" is a podcast and video series hosted by cultural expert, speaker, and consultant Jess Weiner. After twenty-five years as a self-made entrepreneur and CEO advising brands on better representing people in their media, marketing, advertising, and workforce, Jess has broadened her work to help others explore what it means to create a Good Life on their own terms.
Together with inspiring guests, Jess will joyously delve into conversations about life, death, and everything in between, exploring what it means to live urgently, and asking: "What is the life you've always wanted to create that you've avoided creating?"
As we are being called right now to consider what is essential and necessary in our lives, the world as we know it is changing—and so can we.
A message from Jess:
“Hello and thank you so much for listening and watching our first season of ‘We’re All Going To Die, Anyway.’
Exploring the topics of life, death, and living a Good Life you make on your own terms has been nothing short of transformational for me. And I hope for you, too.
In this episode I wanted to recap this incredible season and the guests that so beautifully came on to share their stories filled with vulnerability, wisdom and love. Many of them were dear friends that I was happy to share with you. Some of them were strangers at first and have now definitely become part of my soul-family.
During this show, most of which was filmed during Covid-19, I experienced some of the most harrowing losses in my life, including the death of two beloved cats and, most painfully, the passing of my mother-in-law and brother-in-law, both due to complications from COVID-19.
These conversations ranging from grief to joy have only helped to solidify why I set out on this journey in the first place. We’re all going to die anyway, so why not choose to live an urgent, beautiful, curious life….a Good Life...right now.
And because of YOU, we have created a group called the Good Life Community -- sign up here - www.jessweiner.com (http://www.jessweiner.com). I am going to be offering workshops and courses on what it means to live a Good Life and I’d love for you to join me!
Thank you for your support.

Ep 26 - Catherine Zinger
In this last interview of the season, Jess sits down with Catherine Zinger -- the older sister of Jess’s friend Myra, who was her inspiration for doing this show.
If Jess’s brief yet life-changing relationship with Myra helped launch this series, then Catherine serves as its future. These two women began their relationship at a most unique time: while Myra was dying. And both regard their encounter as divinely orchestrated, for they now remain forever tied together in love, hope, and gratitude.
Jess and Catherine quickly delve into their own perspectives on Myra’s last few weeks, particularly through the lens of grace and heartbreak, reflecting on their personal relationships with Myra, their reactions to the devastating news of her terminal illness, and the resulting love, compassion, and gratitude that sprang between their families.

Ep 25 - Michael Hebb
In this episode, Jess speaks with Michael Hebb, founder of “Death Over Dinner” and the “End of Life Collective.” The groundbreaking work of both of these organizations in helping to normalize death and dying and democratize resources for end of life support have both served as huge inspirations in Jess’s journey to better understand the fragility and urgency of life.
In this interview, Jess and Michael explore how destructive the path of dying has become the last few decades -- particularly in the field of medicine -- where there is often no real connection to end of life needs and rituals. Michael shares wisdom on the beauty of human connection and vulnerability, emphasizes a necessary collective shift in our perspective on dying, and he and Jess both reflect on how our wounds and pain can also provide a path to understanding and healing.
