569 - Joshua Fields Millburn (Minimalist)
Along with his buddy Ryan Nicodemus, Joshua hit a wall about a decade ago. These friends realized that they had it made, on paper, anyway. They had the money, the \u201cgood jobs,\u201d the big house, the cars, the watches, the suits. What they didn\u2019t have was peace of mind. Maybe they didn\u2019t own stuff, the stuff owned them? Thus were born The Minimalists. I hope you enjoy this conversation, where Josh and I go beyond closet space to talk about how our consumerist illusions manifest in non-material realms: death, love, aging, health, and spirit.
Intro music \u201cBrightside of the Sun,\u201d by Basin and Range. Outro: \u201cSmoke Alarm,\u201d by Carsie Blanton.
