What happens when a platinum-selling drummer, grief, and a broken system collide? You get BeyondWill, and the remarkable reinvention of Eron Bucciarelli.
In this heartfelt and future-forward episode of In The Making, host Michael Betz talks with Eron about the moment his father handed him an envelope—and how it became the blueprint for a digital estate planning platform that’s helping families prepare for loss without losing themselves in the process.
From leading billion-dollar innovation inside Kroger to building a startup inspired by grief, Eron shares:
🔹 How losing his father became a startup catalyst🔹 Why 70% of estate plans are outdated—and what BeyondWill is doing about it🔹 Lessons from the band-to-founder pipeline (shoutout, Hawthorne Heights 🎸)🔹 Tips for founders balancing purpose and pressure🔹 The throughline between music, legacy, and meaningful tech
📖 From the book In The Making: “Tension—not failure—is often the clue that we’re outgrowing a chapter.” This episode proves that in every beat.
