Commune with Jeff Krasno : Stoicism Part One: Living Your Present Dream
SHOW NOTES
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno introduces a new four-part series on Stoicism — the ancient philosophy that offers timeless guidance on how to live life with gratitude, virtue, and inner calm.In a world of constant distraction and political turmoil, how do we stay informed and engaged without being consumed by chaos? Drawing from Stoic teachings and meditative practices, Jeff explores how the wisdom of thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus can help us cultivate resilience, clarity, and inner calm in our daily lives.
Each Tuesday for the next four weeks, Jeff shares reflections and practical exercises inspired by Stoicism — lessons designed to help you cultivate presence, emotional balance, and a clearer understanding of what truly matters.

Commune with Jeff Krasno
Commune is a podcast where we explore the ideas and practices that bring us together and help us live healthy, purpose-filled lives. We believe personal and societal health are two sides of the same coin, and that cultivating personal wellness is the first step toward making the world well. We connect with experts, scientists, and storytellers around food, health, social impact, mindfulness and movement practices, personal growth, and environmental action. In addition to being a podcast, Commune is also an online course platform where thousands of participants take each course together, day-by-day, for free. We then provide social tools that empower participants to form local action groups and implement their new knowledge in their communities.
