Authors, podcasters, filmmakers, and public speakers, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus began pursuing the minimalist lifestyle in 2010. After experiencing significant improvements in their quality of life as a result of adopting and practicing the tenets of minimalism, the pair launched a website in December 2010 to share their experiences.

The Minimalists have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, TIME, and L.A. Weekly, and they have spoken at Harvard, Apple, SXSW, and TEDx. The Minimalists Podcast is the #1 health podcast on iTunes, and their film, MINIMALISM, was the #1 indie documentary of 2016.

Also, shout out to the Director of Minimalism, Matt D’Avella. He was gracious with his time during our launch of Playing with FIRE, and is creating some killer content over at his website. Check him out.

Ultimately financial independence isn’t about making all the money in the world, it’s about being responsible with the money you have right now.
