Better Place Project with Steve Norris
04/30/24 • 120 min
In this week's episode, Jeff Krasno is back to chat about his new online course Good Stress!
Have you ever felt like modern life is out of sync with our ancient DNA? Journey with us and our guest, wellness maven Jeff Krasno, as we navigate the terrain of evolutionary mismatches and the holistic health practices that can steer us back to vitality. Jeff's revelation of reversing diabetes and his embrace of Good Stress through fasting and resistance training is not just his story—it's a blueprint for anyone seeking rejuvenation at any age. We traverse the healing powers of nature, fasting, and the surprising benefits of welcoming a little discomfort into our daily routine to rekindle our ancestral resilience.
From the rise of global yoga communities to the power of simple, in-sync-with-nature habits, our conversation with Jeff peels back the layers on democratizing wellness. We share the backstory of how a post-9/11 need for solace and an unexpected partnership with Oprah sparked a wellness revolution, and the ensuing growth of an inclusive, online yoga collective. The stories from diverse participants are a testament to the emotional resonance of shared wellness experiences. We also uncover the potential of practices like cold therapy and mindful eating not only for our physical health but in training the mind to navigate life's stressors with grace.
In wrapping up, we turn our focus to the art of nuanced communication in a world brimming with polarized views. Drawing upon Jeff's encounters and our own, we discuss how empathetic listening can be as transformative as any physical health practice. This episode is an invitation to integrate these strategies into your life, promising a profound impact on well-being. Whether you're looking to optimize sleep, engage in challenging discussions, or simply introduce more plant-based foods into your diet, this episode is a tapestry of insights for a healthier, more harmonious life. Join us for an episode that's as much about fostering a better world as it is about personal transformation.

Rhythms of Redemption: A Life in Tune with Hootie and the Blowfish's Jim 'Soni' Sonefeld
Better Place Project with Steve Norris
05/07/24 • 72 min
Imagine swapping cleats for a drum set, and a soccer field for the world stage—Jim "Soni" Sonefeld of Hootie and the Blowfish made that leap, and he's here to recount the harmonic convergence of sports, songwriting, and a life enriched by overcoming personal demons. Soni peels back the curtain on his memoir "Swimming with the Blowfish," narrating the symphony of his life from the first downbeat of "Hold My Hand," through the crescendo of fame, to the hushed tones of his battles with addiction. This conversation isn't merely a backstage pass to music history; it's an intimate look at the rhythm of redemption and the melodies that resonate through life's challenges.
As Soni reflects on the indelible influence of his mother's love for classic rock and high harmonies, we're reminded of how the echoes of our upbringing can shape our future compositions. He shares candidly about the shadows cast by alcoholism and the transformative power of facing one's flaws head-on. In these revelations, there's a chorus of vulnerability and courage, inviting us to confront our own hidden selves and to harmonize our authentic stories with the lives we lead.
Our journey with Soni takes us from the studio, where the band grappled with capturing their live magic on tape, to tales of camaraderie and cutthroat encounters with fellow musicians. There's a dissonance between the critique of the public eye and the authenticity that an artist strives for, but humor and resilience play through. Soni's story crescendos with a message of hope—a testament to the enduring power of music, the strength of the human spirit, and the belief that each one of us can compose a life of harmony and purpose, one note at a time.

Discovering Inner Wisdom: Lessons from "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda
Better Place Project with Steve Norris
10/24/23 • 27 min
This week on the podcast, I talk about a book I’ve recently read that I’ve been wanting to read for years, and I finally put in my queue and read it. It’s a legendary book called Autobiography of a Yogi by the one and only Paramahansa Yogananda. Steve Jobs was so inspired by this book that he gave hundreds of copies of it away at his funeral in 2011.
This episode is my humble attempt to share some pearls of wisdom or top takeaways that I got from the book, which is chock full of precious insights on different facets of the human experience.
I will share my insights from the book on impermanence, the search for truth, the power of meditation and Kriya Yoga, the universality of spirituality, the guru-disciple relationship, the illusion of material success, the reality of miracles, and the journey of self realization. But perhaps the "must-listen" moment is the part where I share the "Cauliflower Robbery" Story!

The Election: We Got What We Deserve!
Better Place Project with Steve Norris
11/13/24 • 50 min
Through a personal lens, I reflect on the recent challenges in my life, including a painful breakup and the loss of my mother, which prompted a necessary pause in podcast episodes. Despite this hiatus, your unwavering support has been a beacon of light, and I am thrilled to share that new and exciting projects are on the way, even if on an irregular schedule.
This episode tackles the turbulent landscape of last week's election, where the energy of collective consciousness played a pivotal role. We break down the Democrats' strategic blunders, such as the controversial handling of Joe Biden’s departure, and the pitfalls of identity politics that may have alienated potential voters. Kamala Harris's potential amidst these political missteps is examined, alongside the broader implications of policies perceived as extreme. The conversation is a call for honesty and adaptability in leadership and a critique of how political movements might better introspect and evolve.
This discussion doesn't shy away from the complexities of America's current political climate. I offer a critical lens on Donald Trump's character and actions, contrasting them with the grace exemplified by other political figures. Elon Musk's influence, especially post-Twitter acquisition, is scrutinized, highlighting the stark divisions within the nation. Through engaging narratives and thoughtful analysis, we underscore the power of collective consciousness, urging a shift towards love and kindness. By embracing small acts of unity, we can nurture a brighter future, filled with hope and transformation, for generations to come.
