Raff's Brain #104: Drive & Jive - A Return to the Yog Life (from the 26201)!

In this solo Walk & Talk episode, Rob Raffety checks in from Buckhannon, West Virginia, reflecting on family, fitness, and the fight against father time. Unable to hit his usual hot yoga studio, Rob dusts off an old habit—the yog—and takes listeners on a meandering mental jog through memory, motivation, and movement.

From running his first 10K back in law school to raw-dogging a marathon, to his days as a sweaty college mascot, this episode is part confessional, part encouragement, and totally Raff. He also previews a live Whatnot auction project and drops some Q2 energy for anyone trying to keep pace with their goals.

Real talk, real laughs, and the reminder that moving your body is one of the most rebellious things you can do as you age.
