PCLS Keynote Speaker

We welcomed the Minimalists to campus for the Presidential Career and Leadership Series keynote speech on April 14, 2026.

Welcome the Minimalists

The Minimalists addressed the Miami community on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 7 p.m. in the Armstrong Student Center’s Harry T. Wilks Theater.

Emmy-nominated Netflix stars and New York Times–bestselling authors Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus shared how minimalism can help people live and work meaningfully. This event featured open seating, with the theater doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

The Minimalists have published multiple books that discuss how clearing the clutter can make room for more. The Minimalists Podcast currently has over 500 episodes on everything from “Job Your Love” to “Social Media Clutter.”

Minimalism opened as the top indie documentary of 2016 and is currently available on YouTube. Another documentary, Less Is Now, can be viewed on Netflix.

The first 100 Miami students who registered for this event received a free copy of Everything That Remains

A #1 bestseller, this critically acclaimed memoir is “the touching, surprising story of what happened when one young man decided to let go of everything and begin living more deliberately.”

The Minimalists signed books in the Armstrong Atrium directly following the program. During this reception, guests were also treated to hors d’oeuvres, dessert, and beverages.
