In this episode I had the privilege to speak with my friend and minimalist speaker, coach, author, mentor, and now a fellow TEDx talker, Chris Lovett. Coming from a background of accumulating stuff and living life with the purpose of acquiring more “things,” Chris found himself lacking in meaning and purpose. He began learning to let go, creating a new path and direction in life to actually do the things he wanted to do, and now Chris helps support individuals, families, and teams to be more successful with less, providing them with inspiration so they can unlock their potential by ditching the stuff. “That coziness is amazing, but nothing really grows there. To step away from the comfort is when you’re gonna get the most growth and the magic will happen.”

“I kind of feel content in where I am now, but not comfortable, whereas before I was super comfortable, but not very content. I don’t really need to go out and buy another suit, I’ve got a couple and that’s fine. I don’t need any more. I think where people kind of get caught up is the bombardment of information, of advertisements, and comparisonitis, which I don’t think is a word, but I think it should be.” 22:04
