#037 Don’t Die Without This Folder (ft. Julie Fried)
About this episode
Ever thought about making a “Death Folder”? No? Well, maybe you should. On this episode of Outsmart the Hustle, I sit down with Julie Fried, founder of the Death Folder and co-founder of Dallas Girl Friday, to talk about the surprisingly funny, practical, and life-saving world of planning ahead.
Julie shares how a little organization can spare your family stress, help you get your affairs in order, and even give you peace of mind—all while keeping it light and approachable. We dive into:
- Why every adult (yes, even entrepreneurs) needs a Death Folder
- How preparation can actually be fun and empowering
- Real-life tips to get started today without feeling overwhelmed
- The connection between planning, legacy, and living a life you love
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, busy creative, or just someone who hates thinking about paperwork, this episode will make you laugh, think, and maybe even motivate you to finally open that folder.
