Thank you for this. You're my english lesson/training each week :D ... A french girl who's finding value in listening your podcasts.

I absolutely LOVE your message and I'm totally on board. I've read and watched everything to do with organising and decluttering over the past 20yrs. I have to say that Minimalism resonates with me over and above everything else I've tried. My "offical" packing party starts on Tuesday with my daughter. You guys are super motivating. Thank you so much.

[@kathylindsey3448]

Listen to all of your podcasts on youtube... thanks for making it available here. You guys are so well spoken and keep me on track with living better with less. Wish you'd come to Kansas City on one of your future tours. Appreciate you so much.

Really one of my favorite persons on the planet. So humble and humorous!!! A beautiful start of my Sunday and many days

[@RIngraham100]

I just realized that my stuff has been minimized in order to accommodate for my dog. she's a less than 10lb yorkie. she now has a dresser and a mini closet. :)

[@seamonkeyl9061]

Great stuff guys. I don't know how to do a five star review though? I'm in New Zealand and enjoy your expressive American ways!

Tim Waters Hey from Scotland i love listening to these while i work.

[@leeharrison8790]

It felt so good to laugh when you guy's talked about your beet smoothie .. It was amazing ! thanks so much !

[@emilyroarty9267]

Thank you for this podcast! I found a lot of value in it. Just got my tickets to my hometown Pittsburgh stop.

[@lumay1966]

Hello fellow Pittsburgh-er!

[@mickeyo2229]

Truth, I truly love the way you guys think. I hope to apply some of the things you say to my own life. Mindfulness with every dollar. Letting go and enjoying life.

[@sistaschin]

Great advice to sell unwanted items online. I am currently in school for the third time, not working, and selling items online. While I don't make a ton of money, I make just enough to cover the cost of groceries every week (more or less). Writing from Cambridge, Ontario.

[@3llzebub]

sistaschin what websites do you like to sell on?

[@sistaschin]

Kijiji is the only one I have tried.

[@1dollarscan]

We love you guys and appreciate!! Thanks of you, we can work with the pride which helps many peoples' minimalist life.

[@nickrosier4997]

Great work. Lots to think about. Thanks for doing it.

[@Tyler-so8yl]

You guys have changed my life for the better. I'm moving from Ontario to Alberta. Learning to let go of all of my junk, most of my wants and a few of my replaceable needs is allowing me to fit everything in my car for the 35 hour drive to my new home :)

[@caterina7964]

I listen to your podcasts on soundcloud but just wanted to leave you a comment! Love your podcasts, they have added so much value in my life. They have helped me hold myself accountable to how much stuff i bring into my life and have pushed me to live intentionally. Thank you thank you thank youuu

[@LathaLukose]

i love these podcasts... thank you

[@melaniekoster9952]

@themininalists you guys could do a short segment on your podcast reading your favorite funny 1 and 5 star reviews! That would be interesting.

[@varinderlitt2305]

Awesome information! keep up the good work!

[@psylettagilroy]

I love you guys, but your use of “Havin’ Thangs” just took my admiration to another level!😂😍

[@amberleeperry7479]

Love the havin thangs intro

[@suzysweetz68]

I really hope you come to Montreal on your tour! I subscribed to receive updates on this. :)

[@antje_explores]

Great Podcast.

[@MightyKern]

This was a great podcast. I especially liked the info on adults dividing important things, and discovering about yourself if its a power struggle or is it something you really value and want. Also, Joshua, I tried the smoothie (I had no avocado handy though). Taste is fine to me, but texture... well... I had to add more water so it was less pulpy. ha ha. I plan to enjoy this smoothie more regular as I take better care of my health. Thanks to you both for your regular and sincere podcasts full of quality content. I also enjoy hearing your personalities shine through in the relaxed banter between the two of you. Been a fan since 2012! Cassie

[@MightyKern]

oh yeah.... I am Canadian. I will find you in the Toronto stop whenever you have that leg of the tour booked.

[@GinaPhoenix]

Good as always! I'm going to check out the book you recommend Anything You Want. It sounds like an interesting read. :)

[@minimallexy6508]

I'm looking for a specific podcast where Joshua says "organizing is well planned hoarding". I can't remember which one it is! can anyone help?

[@Prancer1231]

That smoothie sounds absolutely vile.

[@martinetmoi1]

Hi from Copenhagen, Denmark. I love your podcasts (Iam listening to them while painting my windows).Would love to giveyou a 5 stars but how? How do you do that? I don't know how it works. I just know the tumbs up and down!

[@confectioninfection]

“the minimalist scanner” 😂😂😂

[@mrstiggywinkle]

To get to review part i had to search you and then finally could leave a review which...never posted!

[@nogylaszlo]

One question: after scanning party, you keep the scanner?

[@JustAnamValentina]

Done! I left my review on Italian I-tunes version :-) Anybody else from Italy that can leave a review for Josh and Ryan?

[@yelenapetkova8848]

Come to Alaska! :)

[@isabelramirez0809]

Those heirloom tomatoes do have memories......genetic memory that is!

[@martinetmoi1]

Another thing, not that it is important but you say that the podcast is advertisement free. But it is not, I get advertisement at the beginning of the podcast. Just wanted to let you know if you weren't aware of the fact that KZbin is making money with your podcast!

[@rikke28]

Hello from Denmark. I bought and watched your movie on Vimeo last night - can I do a review on iTunes then?

[@jamesmccluskey391]

Garth Brook's alter-ego is "Chris Gains".

[@trailertrish]

Omfg the beet! Hahahahahahahaha

[@afomiatti]

I keep trying to leave (an amazing 5 star) review on iTunes and I get so far and it won't let me post it. Maybe the problem is with iTunes?? I've tried a few times now

[@aprildouglass9972]

Rate 5 stars but I don't have iPhone tho

[@GSteinbrink]

Notification squuuuad

[@flamingowilliams9664]

That smoothie sounds awful. Still love you both though :)

[@sovereignrenaissance7487]

My OCD needs to let you guys know that you missed episode 65. Or to be more technical you mis-numbered your podcast…👀

[@TheMinimalists]

Weird. It shows up for us! We’d recommend refreshing your page.

[@sovereignrenaissance7487]

@@TheMinimalists what is the title of the video episode 65 so I know what I am looking for.

[@sheilann0622]

It's kinda gross to share yoga mats.
