An abundance mindset is a cure for the disease of scarcity.
The residue of the past has a way of staining the present moment.
People often fret about being too stingy, but they rarely regret being more generous.
One plus one does not always equal two: one drop of water plus one more drop still equals one.
If it doesn’t serve a purpose, you can give yourself permission to let it go.
Everything has a toxic dose—materialism, minimalism, and even positivity.
Ryan: Expecting happiness from luxury goods is like anticipating a swimming pool from a basement flood.
Business requires a product and a purchaser. A scam is when someone tricks you into being both.
Money is not the finish line; it is the vehicle that can get us to our desired destination.

It’s such a great way in which you all tackle the most difficult questions so thoughtfully.

Howdy! Great episode! What was the name of the book that Malabama was reading from about sentences? It’s sounds brilliantly written. Like TK, I heard it in Josh’s voice too! Although Malabama is spectacular in reading it. Beautifully done, friend! Also, Malabama! Yes! Thank you for addressing women and travel! While it stinks, women have to interact with the world in a different way than men. I was thinking the same thing during the travel episode. Take care! Big hugs from TX!
