What happens when a NASA engineer and pilot applies the logic of a flight plan to the most inevitable journey of all?

In this profoundly liberating episode of The Digital Legacy Podcast, host Niki Weiss, Digital Thanatologist, sits down with Willy Donaldson, a finance professor, engineer, and author of Estimated Time of Departure. Willy shares the "love story" of how he turned the terrifying taboo of death into a series of cathartic and even humorous conversations with his parents, ensuring their final departure was handled with the same rigor as a pilot filing a flight plan.

You’ll discover:
-Why you should treat your end-of-life departure with the same logistical detail as a flight route—telling your family exactly when you're "leaving" and how many bags you're taking.
-Introducing "Allow a Natural Death" (A-N-D)—a more humane, personal constitution that focuses on biographical wishes rather than just medical ones.
-The Three C's: Ancient tribal wisdom on when a human journey is truly complete: Communication, Contribution, and Commuting.
-The staggering reality that nearly 20% of Medicare funds are spent in the final weeks of life on interventions that extend duration but destroy quality.
-Why a 150-year-old body held together by artificial implants might not be the future you actually want.
-A powerful conversational hack for resistant parents—stop asking what they want and start documenting what they refuse to endure.

Because as Willy notes, "Death only really occurs when the last person on earth mentions your name."
