  • I'm real hit and miss in having the time to watch the YouTube episodes. Tonight, I'm playing catch up. I have to say, Ryan, I love you haircut! And I do miss seeing you regularly on the episodes.
  • @kscrog601
    I love your minimized hair, Ryan. Your mom is a wise woman.
  • @dayvidgee8767
    Going to going to miss the video. I like listening and also viewing the body language and facial expressions of the hosts.
  • This was one of the few video podcasts I used to watch and listen. Gonna miss seeing your faces, the expressions, the jokes, the insights. Good luck and will listen to the audio for sure ❤
  • @barbara31655
    Love Ryan's hair! Boy does he look different but truthfully, so much more handsome with it styled.
  • @parrishdays
    TK is the cool uncle i’ve always wanted 😎
  • Ryan! I love the haircut! I knew there was a handsome guy hiding under that hair. 😂
  • @MonaLisa-57
    Ryan your new haircut looks awesome on you. You look younger and better ☺️👍but the hippy long hair was cool too 😊 Love you guys and will miss seeing your faces but I mostly listen to your podcast and patron app. Thanks for all your shows they have helped me a lot in this time of transition for me. Take care ❤
  • Thank you for all the years on YouTube. I quit social media (Facebook) during pandemic lock down...Best decision I ever made! So freeing! My social media anxiety instantly disappeared once I signed off. And you are right...even though I "watch" your YouTube videos...I really listen to them while I am preping food or folding laundry!
  • @alexat820
    Awwww...dont quit YouTube...😢...I dont have social media myself...but I do enjoy being on YouTube to listen to great content, inspiring content.. like yours...😢😢
  • @mbells8804
    Nooooo why are you guys leaving YOUTUBE? You guys are the few i faithfully watch on youtube.😢😢
  • I stumbled across you guys while feeling the burden of physical clutter. I learned that getting rid of stuff will give me time, space, & energy to think, be, and get clearer about who I am and what I want. Then came the realization that this is not going to be a magical destination. My problems will be here even clearer for me to face when the physical clutter is gone. You have made me reflect on all the non physical clutter in my life and it is quite overwhelming to realize the scope of the changes I need to consider. You continue to show how you are letting go in your own lives. I will truly miss seeing your faces. Thank you for showing through your continued actions what minimalism is all about and for inspiring me to live it.
  • I’ve been working on our home for about 2 months.. I finally have the health to do it and it just weighed so heavy on me so I got started decluttering and once I started, the motivation slowly kicked in and now I just can’t stop until it’s done! I found your channel here maybe 2 weeks in.. it’s been so great! I listen to you guys pretty much every day as well as a few others. Now I am seeing the results and it feels so great! The major work is done now it’s a bunch of annoying little stuff but my goal is to do at least one thing every day- one thing in the trash, one thing to donate, and one thing put away. I am also determined to change my habits to support living a more minimal, simplified life. I don’t ever want to be in this place again! I’ve kept a daily journal of everything I do to declutter & organize bcs in the beginning, that first week I know I let go of so much stuff but I couldn’t tell at all by looking at my house. When I look back at the pages, it’s crazy how much has been done and just how much my house has held, stuffed into corners, bins, boxes.. and how many clothes my closet held too! Also crazy how filthy the space is under, behind & around all the clutter. 😣 I am cleaning some as I go but I also plan to do a super good deep clean once we are done. I definitely am feeling lighter and happier and I can’t wait til I feel “done” with all this that has built up mostly over the last 10 years of illness but also a lifetime of not being good at letting go or organizing/ decluttering… I am transforming once again and it’s pretty exciting!

    Loving the new hair, Ryan. Looks great!
  • I love this. Giving things up that aren't inherently bad but don't necessarily bring long-lasting joy. This episode really spoke to me more than I thought. I've been wanting to fully dump my smartphone and I've made every excuse why not to. I need it for work, I need a more reliable maps app, what about my music?! Listening to this, I see the unhealthy and maybe unreal realities of my attachment. So today, I'm ditching my iPhone for my Light phone. Disappearing from the netherworld to be fully present in the real world. Thank you, my friends!
  • Please don’t leave YouTube this is the only way I can connect with you people
  • Ryan, your new haircut looks cool! I liked your old hair style a lot but sometimes a change is fun! 😊
