Hospice Maui CEO Greg LaGoy

Alive for Now

I talk with Hospice Maui CEO Dr. Greg LaGoy. Greg also happens to be a naturopathic physician and a former Navy pilot among many other things. We discuss -His practice of using death as an advisor leading to taking on this role -Intuition -The resistance to hospice that can exist vs. how individuals and their families tend to feel after receiving it -Why it’s helpful to bring the awareness of death into our lives before we’re inevitably forced to ... with our loved ones and/or through our own experience -How the potential failings of society show up in healthcare and hospice -Common misconceptions about hospice & the experience of hospice workers -The danger of acting purely out of habit -The connection between creativity and living -How the hospice Maui training intends to clear anything out of the way that might not be serving -How not all hospices are the same and how to choose a good hospice -Greg being white male with grey hair in a leadership role yet tapping into the feminine qualities of intuition and listening and presence and mystery (while still being competitive and masculine and getting shit done)
