Very few of us are safe from some form of addiction – alcohol, sugar, sleeping pills, sex, Instagram, codependent relationships, the list goes on. Russell points out that all of our addictions stem from a common problem: spiritual disconnection. But when we admit we have a problem, believe in real change, accept help from others, and surrender our will and control to a higher power, we can begin to break free from our addictions.

ABOUT RUSSELL

He is one of the world's most recognizable and beloved comedians, with a string of sold-out tours, hit DVDs and a number of major film roles under his belt.

ABOUT JEFF
I've had a lot of jobs: co-founder and CEO of Commune and, co-founder and co-CEO of Wanderlust, board member of Pure Edge. I've written books, built a wellness studio, developed a retreat center, and created video platforms. Oprah even selected me to be part of the SuperSoul 100, a group of great entrepreneurs.
But aside from being a father of three daughters, there's no more humble job than hosting the Commune podcast. Every week I interview people with esoteric expertise who are 10 times smarter than me. My nightstand has transformed into a tower of books as I prepare for these interviews, where I learn everything from the neurochemistry of the brain to the inner workings of our justice system. It's been an incredible challenge to deliver transformational content every Tuesday (and not embarrass myself). I hope you like it!
