Summary

I'm here, in text form. Joshua Fields Millburn of The Minimalists has taken over this special episode. The Minimalists were the first authors to give me approval to narrate their content back in 2015. I owe them much more than this special episode. The truth is, I didn't understand this piece that Josh read. Then I heard it three more times. I still didn't really follow. I'm simply not used to this style of writing. After narrating a thousand episodes, I'm familiar with something entirely different. After the 5th time, it started coming together, and Josh does a nice job explaining that at the beginning. This an episode I'll revisit. Thank you, Joshua, for taking the time and for being a friend. Episode 1000: Joshua Fields Millburn of The Minimalists Podcast Takes Over. Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus write about living a meaningful life with less stuff for 4 million readers. As featured on: ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, TODAY, NPR, TIME, Forbes, The Atlantic, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and National Post. They live in Missoula, Montana.

0:39.0	Now I'm just going to read the first section
0:40.7	because I believe the first section
