Thanks for another great episode! I think you mean the Fairphone, in case anyone is interested.

To answer your question of "What would you like to see" on the private Patreon podcasts: You often talk about how living a meaningful life is simple, and not easy. I see exactly what you mean when you say this, but it can be scary to purposely make your life harder in order to live a more meaningful life. It is something me and my partner are struggling with in various areas of our lives. I suppose it could be encouraging or "less scary" for us, and maybe others who follow you, if you could share things from your lives that are hard. Things that make your life harder, but go hand in hand with living a simple and meaningful life. What are those things, how do you deal with them, how do you accept that they are a part of your lives, and how do you embrace them? I don't know what this would look like as a social media post - Perhaps an image accompanied by an explanation. Or maybe just short text posts. And I don't mean to say "Post things that are negative" what I mean specifically is "a positive and accepting take on the things that make your simple life hard, while still feeling like those hardships are worth it". Much of what you talk about kind of touches on this topic organically, but it could be interesting to have a focused post about it.
