Episode 3179:
Colin Wright's "Minimum Viable Home" challenges the conventional allure of furnishing homes with excessive decor and underused gadgets. Emphasizing the philosophy of minimal viable products from tech, Wright advocates for starting with the basics - those things truly necessary and building from there. His journey towards a minimal, functional home encourages readers to scrutinize what they genuinely need, fostering both space and clarity in their living environments.

Quotes to ponder:
"It only seemed natural, having lived the way I’ve lived for so long, to stick to the essentials."
"I didn’t know what I wanted in a home, but I did know what I’d need to do the work I enjoy doing. I decided to start there."
"No more couches for the sake of couches. No more gadgets because I have room to store them."
