So last night I was listening to the podcast while I was doing dishes & my wife was hanging out with the kids. She didn't pay much attention because she had already listened to it. Then she perked up when I shouted "they used my question!" Thanks for answering my question about which career choice I should make & about how to deal with regrets. It helped a ton and super cool to hear on the podcast!

My "getting out of my comfort zone" fear totally lost its weigh on me, as of now - thanks to this episode!

Ryan's comment re: his brother saying, "we're family!" Very true. I used to scoff at my half-sister who would say that blood is thicker than water. What I finally realized was that it was true in a way, since we would never let a friend treat us badly and still keep in touch! However, as I get older, I have started to understand that my emotional resources are limited and I refuse to engage in shenanigans which may compromise my well-being. Thank you for your insight!

Knowing what the outcome will be is what calms my anxiety

[@PaladinoLu1]

Thanks for your contribution to the world. I wake up listening to you guys. You are an inspiration

[@TheMinimalists]

Ryan, this intro is on the top 10 ones I've heard from all your podcasts! great episode as always!

[@paulafernandes709]

Very deep points this podcast. Loved "challenges" also. Ryan much appreciated your powerful sharing about family. Thanks to both.

Hey Minimalists
New-commer here from Denmark.
I love this journey I started - it’s giving my life so much meaning, I’m emotionally overwhelmed and really happy.
I’m new to listening to podcasts, but I want to ask of you to consider to talk a little slower. It’s not a language-barrier-thing, but it’s so stressful to listen to this speed-talk.
Thanks from Mel.

Happy belated birthday Ryan. 55:50 I need to start doing that.

[@tulsanify]

Finished is greater than flawless.

[@Mechz666]

I really enjoy this podcast every week. Not sure why the youtube version sounds much clearer than my podcast app. All other podcasts on my app are fine but this one is blown out (too much gain).

[@normahade9856]

Hi Joshua, you’re right, everyone will be forgotten except Jesus Christ! I pray that you would start a relationship with Him!!

[@TheRecoveringCreative]

Totally agree with your thoughts on creating!! Love it!

[@nathanerickson3887]

I was wondering what advice would you give for people who procrastinate?

[@TheSpacersChoiceShill]

Don't.

[@feathersky860]

👍 💙 your SIMPLETON

[@MarleneHen]

Jesus will not be forgotten. 🙂

[@ericaacire3994]

You make it sounds as if Jesus was just some ordinary guy like Muhammed and George washington...
