Stephen Jenkinson is a treasure, he’s also a three time Uncivilized Podcast guest, now speaking to us from a difficult place. Usually the man sitting with the dying, he’s now sitting with death himself.

In this conversation I wanted to ask Stephen all of the no bullshit questions I could, giving him no softballs and going straight into the heart of the matter. As he always does, he took my questions and made both poetry and wisdom out of them.

Truth be told, I had to breathe my way through this interview so as not to break down in tears myself. It’s raw and it’s real.

This episode is about life, sickness, and facing death in an UNcivilized manner

Cheers,

Traver
