Comments
What a great episode! Thank you so much! I came accross The Minimalists about 2 years ago after feeling there was something “incomplete” with Mari Kondo and Zero Waste by Bea Johnson. I never looked back! Your podcast changed so many things in my life. A big thank you! Happy belated birthday Ryan (you are definitely cool) and Happy new year to all the team who makes this podcast possible, to your families, the guests and this community.
