Lots of information to process. I like that your guests always make me think and question myself.
The Minimalists
The public Minimal episodes are listed on our Podcast page: https://theminimalists.com/podcast There are instances in the Maximal episodes where something is referenced in the Minimal episodes, but each is fairly independent of the other. Whether you actually *need* to listen/watch them is a choice only you can make—only you know how to best use your time. ;-) —PS

Sorry, I am a new patreon. So are the minimal episodes not included in the maximal versions? Just wondering if I need to go back and watch both.
