| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. |
| 0:08.0 | Okay, I want to start with some important news. As many of you know, in addition to being a podcast, |
| 0:14.0 | Commune is also an online course platform for holistic wellness. We create video courses with world-renowned teachers on topics such as |
| 0:23.9 | integrative medicine, nutrition, spirituality, meditation, personal growth, relationships, |
| 0:29.3 | mindful leadership, and even environmental regeneration. Last January, we started experimenting with a |
