At Collectors MD, we talk a lot about clarity—because sometimes, the hobby’s biggest mess isn’t what’s on our shelves, it’s what’s in our heads. From unopened boxes to mental noise and emotional baggage, clutter takes many forms.

In Episode #12 of The Collector’s Compass, we sat down with Chris MacRae, founder of @thesmartercollector, to unpack what it really means to declutter your collection—and your mind. Chris reminds us that the goal isn’t minimalism for its own sake, but alignment. When you strip away the excess—whether it’s physical inventory, mental fatigue, or emotional guilt—you make space for what truly brings joy and meaning back into collecting.

Because when the hobby stops feeling like chaos, it starts feeling like connection again.

Catch the full conversation in Episode #12 of The Collector's Compass—now streaming on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and all major platforms.

Collect With Clarity. Not Chaos.
