Ever since we saw the television show, Hoarders, we’ve wanted to talk with our guest on this episode, extreme cleaning specialist Matt Paxton. Matt has spent decades helping people sort through messes in attics, basements, garages and elsewhere. For the past couple of years, he’s been the host of the PBS television show, "Legacy List with Matt Paxton", which highlights families that are downsizing or settling an estate of a loved one.

Matt is also the author of the soon-to-be published book, "Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life".

Thanks to our sponsors of this episode!
