Five Decisions Away

16 November 2011

Matt Paxton is one of the extreme cleaners on A&E TV’s Hoarders TV show. I had the opportunity to assist him last summer in the taping of an episode. (I’ll be sure and post here when I know when it will air.)

I left that experience a huge Matt Paxton fan. The guy is unpretentious, straight-forward and, most of all, deeply caring. Boy does he care about his hoarding clients. And he’s also a load of fun. Here’s a photo we took that day.

Can you tell it was really hot out that day?

Matt, who is the author of the book The Secret Lives of Hoarders: True Stories of Tackling Extreme Clutter now has a weekly podcast called Five Decisions Away. I downloaded and listened to all three episodes yesterday and want to recommend it to my blog readers.

The podcast is both deep and funny. It’s also both (sometimes very) crude and insightful. I have to admit that I had to fast forward over certain parts because they were so gag-inducing (descriptions of conditions in which he and his staff have worked). But I know I’ll listen avidly to each episode as soon as it’s released. Matt’s a unique guy with an interesting perspective.

You can subscribe to the podcast via the iTunes store (it’s free) or you can listen to it on his personal blog, also called Five Decisions Away.

Check it out!
