We discuss the unexpected truths people take to the grave, the ethics of exposing secrets, and how facing mortality changes our perception of life and honesty.Bill shares his journey from being a street kid and recounts his harrowing childhood, his transformative love story, and his experiences within the 'death industry.' As he indulges in his Last Meal — Bill opens up about the impact of secrets, the essence of redemption, and the hope for an afterlife. The conversation also touches upon his views on cosmic justice, his role in exposing wrongdoers, and the joys of family life.
