Raff's Brain
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.

Raff's Brain #208: Drive & Jive - Zip Codes, Social Security & the Future of Freedom
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Rob is back on the road from West Virginia to Arlington, and this Drive & Jive goes everywhere—in the best way.
What begins as a casual riff about zip codes and phone numbers evolves into reflections on:
- Memory and how technology rewires our brains
- Identity shifts from “Robby” to “Rob” and maybe back again
- Advice for young people navigating life transitions
- AI, healthcare, and the future of work
- Cultural resilience and preserving the American spirit of entrepreneurship
- Mentoring students through Marginal Revolution University
It’s nostalgic. It’s philosophical. It’s lightly chaotic. It’s peak Drive & Jive.
Rob explores how change—technological, generational, cultural—is constant. The real question is whether we adapt with flexibility and courage.
If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the brain cells that used to memorize your friends’ phone numbers… this episode’s for you.
