Athens Banner-Herald Mike and Alana Stanton made it big as featured guests on a "TODAY With Hoda & Jenna" segment Friday — and they did it by going small. The Stantons, of Watkinsville, appeared via livestream for a story about "The Minimalists: Less Is Now," a Netflix documentary that premiered on Jan. 1. The recent film was selected as the morning show's Documentary of the Month, and filmmakers Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus were interviewed by co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush. Alongside Los Angeles-based comedian Andy Lomeli, the Stantons gave a testimonial about how Millburn and Nicodemus's 2015 Netflix documentary, "Minimalism," inspired them to rid their lives of household clutter.
