    EP 188: Mother's Day Special Episode: The Recipe for Real Happiness + Live Meditation

    Happy Mother's Day! For this special episode, Mosheh sits down with Melissa Garson -- author, life coach, and his mother-in-law- -- for a conversation about happiness, parenting, relationships, and emotional resilience. Melissa opens up about her own childhood, the values she tried to instill in her daughter Alex (Mosheh’s wife), and what it's been like to see Alex become a mother herself. They also discuss her book, Recipe for Real Happiness, in which Melissa draws on her work in positive psychology to share practical tools for building happiness and emotional resilience--including "four simple ingredients" of love, gratitude, learning, and mindfulness.  The conversation touches on gratitude journals, communication in marriage and family life, social media’s effect on self-worth, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who leave you feeling better, not worse. They also discuss how meditation can help us “bounce back faster” from life’s challenges — and close the episode with a live, guided meditation you can participate in, in real time.

    EP 187: Iran: What Comes Next? A Conversation With Jason Rezaian

    A shaky ceasefire, soaring gas prices, global shipping threats, and fears about the broader world economy — the Iran conflict has entered a volatile new phase with enormous stakes for the people of Iran, the Middle East, the U.S., and markets around the world. To make sense of this moment, Mosheh speaks again with Jason Rezaian — who spent 544 days imprisoned by the Iranian regime and has deep knowledge of the country and the regime. Recorded at the McCain Institute Sedona Forum in Arizona, the conversation explores whether the war has actually weakened the regime, why Rezaian believes Iranian freedom fighters may now be in a worse position, and how Tehran is adapting through propaganda, repression, and survival tactics. They also discuss the Strait of Hormuz standoff, the threat to the global economy, rising gas prices, hostage diplomacy, internet blackouts inside Iran, the fractured Gulf alliance, and what the Trump administration still may not fully understand about the Iranian leadership. Plus: Rezaian discusses his new work at The Washington Post helping exiled journalists from countries like Iran, Russia, Afghanistan, and Sudan continue reporting from abroad.

    EP 186: Next 9/11 Threat May Be Emerging In Africa: A Conversation With AFRICOM General Dagvin Anderson

    For years, America’s counterterrorism focus centered on the Middle East. But according to the top U.S. military commander overseeing Africa, ISIS and al Qaeda have set up new headquarters on the continent.In this special conversation recorded live at the McCain Institute Sedona Forum, Mosheh sits down with General Dagvin Anderson, head of AFRICOM, who warns that Africa has become the new “epicenter of global terrorism.”The discussion explores the growing presence of ISIS and Al-Qaeda affiliates across the continent, including fears that an Al-Qaeda-linked group could soon seize control of Mali’s capital. General Anderson explains how terror groups are recruiting young people through jobs and economic opportunity before ideology, why Somalia has become one of America’s most active counterterrorism battlefields, and what worries him most about the current intelligence gaps in the region.Mosheh and General Anderson also dive into the larger geopolitical battle unfolding across Africa — from Russia extracting gold and uranium to fund its war effort, to China expanding influence through infrastructure projects, media campaigns, and journalist training programs.The conversation also covers critical minerals, information warfare, America’s global standing, and why the future of Africa could shape the future of global security and U.S. national interests for decades to come.

    Ep 184: The Fertility Formula - What Most People Get Wrong About Getting Pregnant

    Infertility is rising in the U.S.—now affecting about one in five couples trying to conceive. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford joins Mosheh to break down what’s behind the shift—and what people can do to prepare months or even years before trying to get pregnant to improve their fertility.Crawford, a reproductive endocrinologist and host of the As a Woman podcast, is also the author of the new book ⁠The Fertility Formula⁠.She lays out a more proactive approach to understanding fertility and explains how it is closely tied to overall health, including the role of chronic inflammation and its impact on hormones, egg and sperm quality, and pregnancy outcomes. The conversation also looks at factors that often don’t get much attention early on—sleep, stress, diet, and environmental exposures—as well as the role of male fertility, which accounts for roughly half of infertility cases. Crawford also discusses insulin resistance, cannabis use, and how both can affect fertility. It’s a practical look at what’s within your control—and why getting data about your body earlier can help inform decisions down the line.

    EP 182: Inside the Iran War: Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson on U.S. Strategy, Regime Change and What Comes Next

    Ten days into the U.S.–Israel war with Iran, the conflict is expanding across the Middle East — and Gulf countries once seen as neutral players are now under direct attack. Mosheh talks with Fox News Correspondent Lucas Tomlinson, reporting from Dubai, for a look at how the war is unfolding on the ground. Tomlinson explains why Iran is targeting Gulf states like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and whether those governments may soon join the US strikes on Iran. He also breaks down Iran’s military strategy — including waves of low-cost drones designed to overwhelm expensive U.S. and allied defenses. The conversation explores the condition of U.S. military assets in the region, including reports of radar damage and the enormous cost of intercepting Iranian missiles and drones. We also ask what "mission accomplished" actually means for Washington and potential ground missions — including special forces operations and the strategic importance of Iran’s oil export hub at Kharg Island.
