In this special episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff Krasno is joined by his longtime friend and business partner, Jacob Laub, co-founder and COO of Commune. Unlike the usual interviews with outside guests, this candid conversation pulls back the curtain on how Jeff and Jacob think about wellness—not just as a personal pursuit, but as a social and political question.
Together, they tackle the thorny issue: Should health be considered apolitical, a matter of individual choice? Or is it inevitably political, shaped by policies and systems that govern access to food, healthcare, and clean environments?
