In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan talk about Easter, corporatism, and letting go, and they answer the following questions:

• Do you believe you still would have adopted minimalism if it hadn’t been for those tragic events in your life years ago?
• How do I help my loved ones stay motivated to maintain minimalist practices?
• How can minimalism better address corporatism and its burgeoning waste?
• What are some prime examples of products and services that fraudulently market themselves as minimalist or essentialist?
