Massage therapist and coach Gregg Gausden knows exactly where he wants to spend his final ten minutes: at home, with the people he loves most.

In this episode, Greg talks about fatherhood, family, hard work, sacrifice, and the values he hopes his young daughters carry with them throughout their lives. He also wrestles with one of the biggest distinctions in The Last 10:

Being afraid to die is not the same as being afraid to leave the people you love.

If Jeff Nemecek had ten minutes left to live, he wouldn’t want a solemn goodbye.

He’d want a roast.

Surrounded by the people who know him best, Jeff imagines his final minutes filled with laughter, sarcasm, outrageous stories and absolutely no reason to hold anything back.

But beneath the jokes is something much deeper.

In this episode of The Last 10, Jeff talks about friendship, family, twenty years of sobriety, the quieter man behind his sharp sense of humor, and why getting sober changed the way he sees his life. He doesn’t want his final minutes spent dwelling on regrets or pretending to believe something he doesn’t.

He just wants his people there.

And when the clock is nearly gone, Jeff leaves us with three simple words:

“Take me home.”

What changes when death stops being hypothetical?

After facing cancer, Bud Synhorst looks at the final ten minutes of life differently. His first instinct is simple: leave something behind for his wife and daughters — a voice, a message, a reminder of how deeply they were loved.

In this episode of The Last 10, Bud talks about his fear of dying, the perspective cancer gave him, the advice of a dying friend that still stays with him, and why jobs, money and all the other things we chase suddenly mean very little when the clock is running out.

What matters? Family. Being a good human. And leaving behind people who are proud to say they loved you.

If Anne Holz had only ten minutes left to live, she wouldn’t spend them making long telephone calls. She would sit beside her husband, turn on a camera and record one final message for the people she loves.

Anne is known professionally as a web designer and developer, but there is another part of her that many people never see: she is an artist. Her paintings and drawings contain memories, emotions and private meanings that may never be explained aloud.

Anne doesn’t need the world to see her artwork—but she has one request for her husband after she is gone: Don’t throw it out.

In this episode of The Last 10, Anne reflects on art, family, kindness and the legacy she hopes to leave behind. Her final message is simple: remember the laughter, build people up instead of tearing them down, don’t dwell on the past, and never underestimate what one smile can do.
