I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to Slo-Mow. Everyone, thank you for joining us. Welcome back. We, I don't know if you if you feel the same way, but it is so wonderful when sometimes you can recall a moment in your life

that had an impact on you a moment where you something happened and you

clicked you know something in your head like a light bulb and then you

decide to change something about your life. One such moment for me was when I

watched the minimalist, the documentary on Netflix the first time.

And I have to admit, as many of you would know, I wasn't always the simplest guy.

I, you know, I spent a long career making a ton of money. I was at the height of my career. I was chief business officer of Google X and Google paid well and I had a lot of money and a lot of cars and a lot of toys and a lot of stupid things.

And then I watched the minimalist.

And I will tell you that documentary, that one experience

completely opened my eyes. I actually realized how much I was

wasting my life actually, not in work and in the impact but really in how much some of those things that I

allowed into my life drained me. The original documentary The Minimalists

was Josh and Ryan who are two very good friends who met in at fifth grade and you know who went through the American dream if you want and attempted to acquire more and more and

more and then eventually realized that there is a lot to be found in less And their documentary was followed by a massive impact, almost a movement, if you want, that changed the lives of millions of people.

On that documentary, I don't know if all people know that.

TK was speaking a lot of sense throughout the conversation

TK was saying incredible things and he at the time was the director of the Foundation for Economic Education.

He's an entrepreneur, a very successful business person, and so you'd wonder why he would be a minimalist,

but he has a very interesting story for that.
