In this week’s episode, the subject is Spiritual Health, Reflection and Contemplation with journalist and host of the podcast, “Mortality Minded”, Thomas Gaudio. Thomas and I have a frank discussion about death. … and much more.

Thomas Gaudio is a writer and podcaster based in New York City who’s diving deeper into his passion to learn and spark discussion about mortality, dying, death, and the possibility of an afterlife.

He started down this path after serendipitously reading “The Death of Ivan Ilyich” by Leo Tolstoy in 2010 and then writing about dying and death through a journalistic lens in graduate school in 2011. After subsequently focusing on other areas as a writer for several years, dying and death called him back to the page, and he launched the first version of Mortality Minded on social media in early 2016 (on Tumblr when the project was called Immortal We Ain’t).
