Joel Zaslofsky and Experience Curating - SHP002

Slow Home Podcast Episode 2 - Joel Zaslofsky

Today I chat with Joel Zaslofsky, the founder of SimpleREV and one of the most interesting, organised humans I have ever met.

Joel is a spreadsheet aficionado who uses his data wrangling skills not to bore himself to sleep like I would (because spreadsheets and me are not friends) but instead to create a richer, more vibrant life. He is a huge advocate for the process known as 'experience curating' and we get into it in today's show.

We also dig in to Joel's journey from gaming addict to renaissance man, his struggles with learning to slow down and simplify (interestingly, dealing with clutter was not one of his obstacles) and his work to create a community of people who want to embrace a simpler, slower way of life.

This was such a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
