Commune with Jeff Krasno

Sam Harris has two brains. One is making sense of the political chaos. The other is waking up from it.

In this episode, Jeff sits down with Sam Harris, neuroscientist, author, and host of the Making Sense podcast, for part one of a two-part conversation on surviving the modern world with your sanity intact. They unpack the outrage machine, political tribalism, and what it actually takes to stay clear-headed inside the noise.

They discuss:

Why Sam finally quit Twitter after 12 years, and what changed

How the attention economy fuels hyper-partisanship and authoritarianism

The moral panic around race, and how it radicalized the center

Immigration policy, deportation, and the abandonment of Afghan allies

Free speech, Orbán's defeat, and the future of liberal democracy

A single blood draw promises to screen for more than fifty cancers. A full-body MRI can capture you head to thigh in under an hour. But should you actually take one?

In this episode, Jeff Krasno walks through the science, the marketing, and his own experience taking the Galleri test after his father's death from cancer. He compares Galleri to direct-to-consumer MRIs from Prenuvo and Ezra, and lays out what the evidence does and doesn't support.

How Galleri and full-body MRI actually work

What the recent NHS Galleri trial showed

Lead time bias, overdiagnosis, and the diagnostic cascade

Four honest questions to ask before getting screened

Why lifestyle remains the biggest lever for cancer risk

This episode is for anyone considering direct-to-consumer cancer screening, navigating a family cancer history, or trying to read between the lines of wellness marketing.

Most transformation fails because we're aiming at the wrong thing. We want change, but what we're actually chasing is presence.

In this episode, Jeff sits down with Light Watkins, meditation teacher and author, to unpack the real mechanics of personal change: why it has to start with gratitude, why seven days beats 365, and how small, specific challenges compound into a different life.

They explore:

Why presence is the real goal behind every desire for change

Gratitude 1.0 vs. 2.0

The tortoise approach to transformation vs. the crisis and Eat Pray Love models

Seven-day challenges as a sustainable pathway to lasting habits

This episode is for anyone who's tried to change and stalled… and wants a more honest, low-drama way forward.
