Wills, Bucket Lists and Big Conversations – Why Life Is Too Short to Wait
In this revealing live episode of Live and Linking, Ashley is joined by Jay-Anne Vogan, CEO of Life is Too Short, for a conversation that cuts through the noise.
They explore why we put off important decisions, how bucket lists can shake us out of autopilot, and what it really means to leave a legacy. It’s raw, real, and refreshingly honest.
Ashley and Jay-Anne first met at a BizFestSW networking event. Jay-Anne was in a skydive jumpsuit asking business owners one powerful question: “What’s number one on your bucket list?”
That spark led to this conversation about purpose, protection, and how to build a business that truly means something.
Jay-Anne Vogan – CEO and Founder of Life is Too Short, a purpose-driven legacy business helping people create meaningful plans around wills, trusts, and LPAs. With personal experience and high energy, Jay-Anne brings clarity to a topic most people avoid.
Why so many people avoid writing a will
The real-life stories that shaped Jay-Anne’s drive for legacy work
Misconceptions about who needs a will or LPA
The importance of planning for business owners
How a will and LPA can be empowering, not depressing
Creating a people-first, values-led business from scratch
The community model behind Life is Too Short and how others can get involved
Most people don’t have a will—not because they don’t need one, but because they don’t know how
You don’t need to be rich, old, or a parent to need protection
LPAs are critical for anyone running a business
Legacy isn’t about death, it’s about intention
There are new, more human ways to work in this space—and build a business doing it

Jay-Anne is the CEO and founder of Life is Too Short, a dynamic business created to shake up the outdated world of Wills, Trusts, and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA). A true multipreneur, she wears several hats—but her mission is clear: to empower people, especially women, to protect their futures, families, and legacies.
After years in male-dominated industries and facing serious personal and professional challenges, Jay-Anne turned a breaking point into a launchpad for something bigger. Now she’s simplifying complex legal planning and helping others become Will Writers—no legal experience required.
Jay-Anne believes most people think they’re the only ones without a Will. In truth, most people don’t have one. Why? Because it feels complicated, heavy, or something to sort “one day.” She and her team are changing that—making legacy planning a conversation of clarity, empowerment, and peace of mind.
