## Resource

The Minimalists talk about dropping everything for a fresh start, why one big change often leads to several more, a handful of questions to ask before buying anything, what we'd get rid of first if we had two hours to declutter your house, and more. Discussed in this episode: What should I do if I'm torn between staying in the life I've rebuilt or starting over somewhere new for a fresh start? (11:30) What would compel you to drop everything and move to a new city? (23:40) Right Here, Right Now: One more stop on the Minimalism Tour, and Ryan's new restaurant. (43:28) What blue blocking glasses does Joshua own? (50:54) Have a question for the show? Call 406-219-7839 or email a voice memo to podcast@themins.com.
