After my Cancer diagnosis, I wanted to make sure that my two daughters in their 20s knew everything about my life, just in case the treatments weren’t successful. But I also knew that it would be too overwhelming for everyone to have that conversation in person. Way too many tears. Drew helped me plan out what needed to be said and then interviewed me. I was amazed at how easy he was to talk to. And his questions allowed me to share parts of myself that I’ve never opened up about before. – MIKE
I’ve always had a hard time communicating with my wife. Every time I try, I end up saying the wrong things. She also has a bad habit of interrupting and making the conversation about her. My therapist suggested that I sit down with Drew and say what’s really on my heart, and then send a recording of that conversation to her. This was the first time I’ve ever really felt listened to by my wife. – STEVE
I wanted to give my parents an anniversary gift. An interview exploring their incredibly inspirational love story that my children and future generations could listen to. – MEG
My life has had some pretty crazy twists and turns. As an Australian woman who has beaten addiction and mental health issues, I have since found the peace and stability that my upbringing never offered. Getting my story organized and recorded by Drew, was the first step toward publishing my memoir. – SUSAN
My sister and I had a pretty serious falling out. When we found out about I NEED TO SAY THIS, we both knew that this was exactly what we needed to help us say our own truths to each other. During our individual interview sessions with Drew, we were able to share our own side of things, without our emotions screwing it all up by talking face to face. That was the next step, which went really well because we were able to listen to each other’s point of view, first!– SABRINA & SAM
LEGACY INTERVIEWS

RELATIONSHIP SESSIONS
Communication is crucial to the health of every relationship, but we all struggle sometimes, saying what needs to be said. I NEED TO SAY THIS will help you figure out exactly what needs to be said beforehand, and then Drew will do what he’s done countless times before as a former pastor and hospital chaplain – ask you the questions that will draw out the most authentic and vulnerable you. You’ll then have the chance to listen to the audio recording of your sessions with Drew and edit out whatever you’re not comfortable with, before sending it to the person you’ve been wanting to truthfully communicate with. This is for anyone who needs to clearly say something just right, but might get nervous or worried about being interrupted, losing your train of thought, stumbling over your words, or having the conversation get hijacked by the other person – especially when speaking face to face.

WHO IS DREW MARSHALL?
Drew was adopted, grew up in a funeral home, survived a teenage suicide attempt, dropped out of school after Grade 9, ran away to California to be a horse wrangler, played semi-pro football with NFL/CFL tryouts, drove around North America volunteering for charities, tried to be a firefighter and a rodeo cowboy, was a stay at home dad, a Pastor in Australia and hospital chaplain, studied stand-up comedy and improv at Second City Toronto, worked a little in film and TV, and was the host of Canada’s most listened to spiritual talk show for 16 years. He’s interviewed hundreds of celebrities, cultural icons, religious leaders and everyday people about what role “faith” played in surviving their greatest darkness and why they “believe”.
In 2016, Drew walked 1000 km from France across Spain on a 1200 year old pilgrimage called The Camino De Santiago, then spent time writing in a monastery off the coast of Africa. This was all done during a three month vow of silence! “I needed to shut up long enough in order to hear what needed to be said, because my marriage was falling apart.”
Drew’s memoir called, An Ass Named Grace (think Eat, Pray, Love but from a dude’s perspective) will be published in 2026. His time is divided between writing, interviewing, and caring for the horses, chickens, and dogs on a wee Canadian farm near Toronto.

With over 20 years of friendship under our belts, he never ceases to surprise me by his personal journey to seek out authentic truth. His genuine humility feeds his desire to lead others toward their own best.”
