The idea for Dying Out Loud was born in a chemo chair. During biweekly treatments, Kris filled a journal with 74 letters, last messages to the people who mattered most. Faced with the question of whether to save them for after his death or deliver them now, he chose to share them out loud. Kris is a coach, speaker, and organizational development leader, and through this podcast, he’s creating a living legacy of gratitude, love, and connection.
