Episode notes

"I've hugged over 70,000 people now. Whenever we go out on a book tour, we will do some sort of hug line," he says. "It just breaks down the barrier in a way that is, it gets right to our humanity and you realize that quite often we don't touch each other anymore."

Joshua Fields Millburn is one-half of The Minimalists. He is also a New York Times–bestselling author, Emmy-nominated Netflix filmmaker, podcaster, writing instructor, and international speaker.

But in this conversation, he spoke about why he doesn’t get too attached to those labels, the practice of grounding, why he doesn’t use his phone on Saturdays, why discipline is a misnomer, and much more.
