Quest Stories: Discovering authenticity outside the comfort zone – QFY 543

Rafael is one of those courageous humans that doesn’t settle with the status quo. He is not afraid of discomfort. And in this wonderful conversation which took place on a warm Sunday afternoon here in Oakland, you will discover what others do to challenge themselves. We both share a love for the spoken word but Rafael really works hard on developing this skill both through Toastmasters and by taking improv classes. He talks about how especially the improv practice has enriched his day-to-day interactions with others. This conversation was invigorating because it made me reconsider some of my approaches. It was fun, enriched by his cats and the some of the topics we touched. It was touching because Rafael was not afraid to open up and share very personal information. Allow yourself to be challenged into a little bit of discomfort by my friend Rafael.
