What happens when a real funeral director’s life story gets turned into a feature film starring Kevin Sorbo? Hosts Danny Jefferson and Alan Creedy sit down to discuss the incredible journey of Danny's book, From Hear to Forever, as it transitions to the big screen in the new movie Another Life.

But this isn't just a behind-the-scenes Hollywood promo. This episode pulls back the curtain on the heavy, unseen side of the profession that the film bravely puts on display. Alan and Danny open up about the cumulative stress, the grueling hours, and the silent reality of funeral director burnout and PTSD that the movie brings to light.

It is time to look at the industry through a different lens. Discover how the Another Life movie breaks traditional stereotypes by portraying funeral professionals as normal, feeling human beings, and why the film's message makes it finally okay to admit, "It's okay to feel."

In this episode:

• From Page to Screen: How a book written by a funeral director caught the attention of a FedEx pioneer, eventually becoming the feature film Another Life.

• Fighting the Stereotype: Why this movie breaks the mold by showing a funeral director as a normal person navigating everyday life.

• The Weight of the Profession: An honest look at the film's portrayal of cumulative stress, trauma, and why PTSD in funeral service is rarely discussed.
