JOSHUA FIELDS MILLBURN worked in the corporate world for over 12 years, most recently as director of operations for over 150 stores, but after the death of his mother and end of his marriage (in the same month), Joshua quit his job to become a full-time writer and discovered minimalism. Joshua now owns less than 288 things and lives in a minimalist apartment in Montana. You can follow Joshua on twitter using his particularly minimal handle @JFM. RYAN NICODEMUS has over a decade's experience mentoring, coaching and training in the corporate world and also works as a personal mentor. A passionate snow-, wake- and paddle boarder, Ryan was living the corporate American dream until he was laid off. Ryan's life changed when he discovered minimalism and now lives a meaningful life, with less stuff, in Montana, with his partner, Mariah. You can follow Ryan on Twitter or Instagram @RyanNicodemus
