The Arner Adventures Podcast
Hey there, we're Shannon + Gerry Arner, a minimalist couple driven by intentional living + adventure. Burned out from the 24/7 grind of running our business, we traded the hustle + bustle for something more meaningful. We parted ways with most of our belongings + moved to the coast. Listen along as we chat about life's challenges, share inspiring stories, + help you live with more intention + with less physical + mental clutter. Each episode is a step toward doing + being just a little bit better, for ourselves + the world around us. Life's an adventure after all! Come join us for the ride!
