About This Podcast
Raff’s Brain is my playground for goofy stories, real-life adventures, and experiments in how openness, creativity, and technology can bring people together and improve our lives. Expect Hot Yoga Problems, Riffin’ with Raff, Drive & Jive / Walk & Talk, and various zany side projects that are sometimes cathartic, sometimes ridiculous, and hopefully worth your time.
