In this episode I sit down with Chelsea Cush - a licensed funeral director, embalmer, and faculty member at the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Sciences.

I've super grateful for meeting Chelsea! She's invited me into her classroom to talk about creating and owning a small business and managing all of the risks involved in such a venture. It's always a pleasure to be in a room with other entrepreneurs fielding real-world questions.

Knowing very little about the death care industry, I very much enjoyed this conversation with Chelsea. She's one of those good souls who's able to explain concepts and ideas in such an understandable manner. Chelsea has seen firsthand the transformative power of the funeral process and is dedicated to helping families find meaning and closure during their time of grief.

This is a fantastic episode, some may find the talk about the deathcare industry taboo but Chelsea really opened my eyes to the level of care and dedication that goes into the role.

We talked about why someone may want to become a funeral director and the importance of that role. Chelsea also shared some very interesting green burial methods and a project that gives her great pride.

On a macro level, this episode is another example of someone who explored various career paths before finding what spoke most to her soul. 

The next episode is with another one of these gems - Marta Manzzoni. Her episode has entered the production line and looking forward to sharing that beautiful soul with you! 

But right now, it's time to enjoy a wonderful conversation with Chelsea Kush.

So sit back, relax, and floatcast.
