What if your best eulogy isn’t someday—it’s being written by the choices you make before dinner? That’s the provocative idea Rabbi Daniel Cohen brings as we explore how small acts of kindness, daily gratitude, and a clear sense of calling can turn a noisy, angry culture into a field of quiet, meaningful wins.
We start with the tension most of us feel: emotions leading the day and outrage filling the feed. Rabbi Cohen reframes it with a simple image—the body as the horse and the soul as the jockey—and asks who’s really in charge when the stakes rise. From there, he shares the moment that shaped his ministry: losing his mother at 21, and the wake-up question that followed—What will they say about you when you’re gone? Instead of morbidity, he offers a method: reverse-engineer your legacy through daily practice. One minute of prayer to ask for strength. One minute of gratitude with no repeats to train your eyes toward gifts. One minute of outreach to make another person’s day.
We also dig into Elijah moments—those times you realize you are the answer to someone’s prayer—and how they often hide in a lobby greeting, a text to a mentor, or an extra minute of eye contact that says “you matter.” Along the way, we talk about faith beyond labels, mining for gold instead of digging for dirt, and why attention is the most underrated form of love in our families. Rabbi Cohen’s stories—from hospital doors to city sidewalks—reveal how presence, humility, and service scale better than any life hack and last longer than any headline.
If you’re ready to swap cynicism for purpose and turn intention into action, this conversation gives you a clear next step you can try before the credits roll. Listen, share with a friend who needs hope, and tell us the one person you’ll lift up today. And if this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and help us grow a community committed to living a life of legacy.
