What's going on guys and gals? This is Connor Beaton, founder of Mantox. And today in this midweek

mini episode, we're going to talk about the three lessons from giving away almost everything I've

owned. So if you're watching me, if you're watching me on the video that I created, which is on

YouTube, you will see that I'm

sitting in my apartment in Vancouver. And so recently, I found myself in a very interesting

situation where I am moving to New York. And I've kind of been in this transition now for a

couple of years where I've gone back and forth. My fiance and I have a place in New York.

I've had this apartment in Vancouver. You know, I've slowly realized that it's, it's time for me to go.

It's time for me to move entirely to New York. And now I find myself where I'm at this precipice.

I'm about to, you know, we're about to get married in the beginning of April.

And, and I have this apartment, which I'm giving up. And the interest, the most interesting thing happened is that I realized I was sitting in the apartment one day and, you know, I was looking around at all the stuff that was in here.

And I sat there and in that moment, I thought to myself, you know what, I'm just going to let it all go.

I'm going to give it all away. And so over the past week, I thought to myself, you know what, I'm just going to let it all go. I'm going to give it all away.

And so over the past week, I have been preparing and I have been letting everything go.

I literally took all the clothes out of my closet, just two green garbage bags worth of clothes.

And I brought them down to the Salvation Army and just gave them all the way. The whole thing, like clothes that I would normally wear, clothes that I haven't

worn in years, clothes that had sentimental value. I mean, there was a jersey in there. There's an

oiler's jersey that was signed. I just gave it all away. The whole thing.

And you might think, well, that's crazy. Why would you give that away? You could, you could sell that.

And I, and I realize that that there was, there's a freedom in just letting go of some of these things that we have attached to so heavily. But there's also, there also can be a bit of a sadness in letting
