Episode Synopsis
On this Drive & Jive installment of Raff's Brain, Rob takes listeners along for a candid, caffeinated drive to Shepherdstown, WV, to visit Shepherd University with his niece. This road trip turns into a full-blown stream-of-consciousness odyssey—touching on college admissions madness, Waze loyalty, West Virginia nostalgia, and creative inspiration from filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. He reflects on his missed opportunity to become a Golden Horseshoe winner and an Eagle Scout, dreams up new winery concepts, and even analyzes the proper etiquette of supermarket checkout lines. Classic Raffety—thoughtful, funny, and oddly educational.🚗 Call the Raff's Brain Hotline: 571-408-8058 Let Rob know what’s on your mind!Episode Outline:Driving to Shepherdstown for a college tourReflections on high school GPA systems and the inflation of gradesWaze as superior GPS + the trade-off of privacyBusiness buzzwords that bug Rob (leverage, flywheel, ROI)Thoughts on launching a winery — fantasy vs. realityThe podcast that inspired Rob: Lex Fridman x Robert RodriguezThe battle to start and finish creative projectsRegrets: No Golden Horseshoe, no Eagle ScoutTales from West Virginia traffic and wine countrySupermarket strategy and checkout line decorumFinal arrival at Shepherd University: a moment of punctual prideCHECK OUT THIS INSPIRING EPISODE OF THE LEX FRIDMAN PODCAST FEAT.
