The Minimalists – Beatnik Radio

Play

That would be Joshua, Ryan and then me, from left, standing.

Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus write essays about minimalism and living a meaningful life with less stuff for more than 100,000 monthly readers.  While on a recent 33-city Meet-up tour, they found themselves in Kansas City.  Being the adventure seekers that they are, they found themselves fighting over who got the couch in my apartment the night of the Meet-up.

We managed to get a conversation down on tape.

Lots of interesting, thought provoking ideas and questions… Joshua and Ryan’s gift to the world.  Three books full of them are available.

CONTEST TIME!
