VIP Open for 72 Hours
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 15:00:07 +0000 UTCPatrons,
Many of you have asked to join our closed VIP group, so we are opening the VIP level on Patreon for 72 hours. This group is still capped at 200 people (there are 30 spots available right now).
Please note: We don't want you to feel any pressure to upgrade. We're simply opening this tier for a few days because many existing patrons inquired. But we don't want it to be a regular offering for new patrons.
Rewards: In addition to the Private Podcast (audio and video), VIPs receive recordings of all live events; weekly Zoom calls with The Minimalists; weekly home tours; copies of all previous books and films; personalized videos from Joshua, Ryan, and T.K.; and copies of all future creations. All 200 VIPs will also gain access to 10 new minimalist projects in the coming months (most of these projects are top secret for now, so please don't share this info beyond your fellow patrons):
1. Simplify Everything. The trio (Joshua, Ryan, and T.K.) are re-launching our decluttering course, Simplify Everything in January. This five-week online course will help you minimize five types of clutter (physical clutter, financial clutter, relationship clutter, calendar clutter, and digital clutter). With 17 instructional videos, 45 clutter categories, and 135 decluttering solutions, this comprehensive course costs $300 for new students, but our Patreon VIPs will receive it for free when enrollment opens on January 1, 2024.
2. The Big Simple. This one is, ahem, BIG! How big? Well, we've been quietly filming a new docuseries called The Big Simple for a few years, and it's our most ambitious film project to date. Although this series won't hit a streaming service until 2025 or 2026, our Patreon VIPs can check out the first seven-minute "sizzle trailer" right now.
3. Everything That Remains (10th Anniversary Edition). Next month, we will publish the 10th anniversary edition of Everything That Remains (our favorite creation to date) with a stunning new cover. All VIPs will receive an autographed print edition before the new year.
4. Emotional Clutter Audiobook. T.K. Coleman will soon publish his first book, Emotional Clutter. VIPs will receive the ebook and audiobook versions long before Emotional Clutter is available to the public. If we decide to make it a limited-edition print book in the future, then VIPs will also receive a physical copy.
5. Fragments: The Minimalists are working with Director Danny Martinez on a new short-film series called Fragments. In early 2024, VIPs will have access to all six episodes well before the general public.
6. Art Merch. We've never sold merch before, but we are going to print a small run of artistic black t-shirts and hats featuring the new Everything That Remains artwork, created by the talented Mexican artist Gricey. VIPs will receive this merch for free.
7. Scrolling Is the New Smoking. In 2019, we began filming a documentary called Scrolling Is the New Smoking (pictured above). For complicated reasons, it was never finished, but we have some incredible footage that we want to share with our VIPs next year.
8. Advertisements Suck Documentary. In 2020, at Netflix's request, we started filming a documentary called Advertisements Suck. Once Netflix shifted to an ad-based model, this film was never finished, but we have some amazing footage that we want to share with our VIPs next year.
9. 12 Tools for Simple Living. JFM is writing a brand-new audiobook called 12 Tools for Simple Living, featuring 12 new minimalism rules (“tools”) to live a simpler, less cluttered life. This project also includes the world’s first audio home tour. VIPs will start receiving chapters—and then the full audiobook—in 2024, many months before its official release.
10. Non-Minimalist Documentary. JFM has been hired to be the executive producer on a new wellness documentary that is outside The Minimalists' world, but our VIPs will still receive behind-the-scenes footage as it becomes available.
Joyous times!
–Joshua, Ryan, T.K.

I was also wondering about the promise of getting the books/films after 3 months of being a VIP patreon supporters. How does it work? :)
