Back to EpisodesRaff's Brain #117 [PART I]: Walk & Talk - Raw Dogging a 5K & Rediscovering Creative Focus
Description
Walk & Talk makes its long-awaited return as Rob laces up and hits the streets — this time, with no music, no podcast, no distractions. That’s right, it’s a raw dog 5K. In this introspective episode, Rob explores the strange serenity of exercising without tech, vents about ambient suburban noise, and takes listeners inside a late-night backyard ramble where 30+ creative ideas were unleashed. Hear how Rob uses AI tools like Otter and ChatGPT to bring order to the chaos, and why he's finally trying a new approach to prioritize and execute his creative work.
