On a separate note, the comments around other people pulling you up for being in places or doing things that they myopically consider hypocritical, as if they're perhaps catching you in a lie/misstep, were interesting - I consider myself a minimalist and my focus is on intentional living, I'm also vegan, try to reduce my waste and make eco-conscious decisions, so in these areas I seem to come up against some pockets of confrontation/friction, I've learned to handle it pretty well in my opinion/experience thus far. I was actually drawn to Minimalism because it spoke to me since I've never lived particularly maximally and always had issues with people prioritising money/stuff over people and experiences, when I watched your documentary it echoed some of my own feelings and expanded my thinking on related lifestyle choices, I felt like suddenly I could lean into it more, and stand more resolutely - because I'd clearly identified and put a name/definition to some of my values. Thanks guys!

This is the first video podcast I've watched since becoming a VIP patron and I really enjoyed it. I consider myself a fairly sanguine person and think it's often good to approach tough and potentially emotional/socially discomforting subjects in a candid way but with an element of levity, so I will definitely be checking out the article and was impressed by Jenette's decision re. the title of her one-woman show.
