The Best Is Yet to Come
Two weeks before his passing, I sat down with my dear friend Michael Brillson on a crisp autumn day and interviewed him at the tail end of a rich and fulfilling life he had led. He shared with me wisdom, gratitude, and the excitement of what’s to come. Without a shred of fear, he approached death the same way he approached life; with exuberance, fulfillment, and valor.
Special thanks to his beloved wife Sheila Brillson, my colleague Matthew Hill, and to my dear best friend Leila!
