#75 Having fun with Advance Care Planning


In this episode it is my pleasure to catch up with Martin and look back at episodes 51 to 74 of Conversations About Advance Care Planning. We talk about the episodes that have had the greatest impact on Martin and address barriers to creating Martin’s Lasting Power of Attorney. As ever, I am surprised and blown away by Martin’s creative approach to Advance Care Planning, and even the fun he is having in planning ahead.
