Rafferty Vogt: The Gift of Desperation

Published: Sept. 20, 2021, 6:18 p.m.

b'You know Rafferty\'s dad as "Richard from Texas" from the book Eat, Pray, Love written by Elizabeth Gilbert. The book took the world by storm when Liz (and later Richard) appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". The popularity of the book propelled Gilbert into the international spotlight. Richard nicknamed her "Groceries" and gave Liz the wisdom to find inner peace, using his signature sense of humor. Richard could break down even the most esoteric spiritual guidance, into bite-sized treats. Sadly, Richard passed away in 2010.\\nRafferty has his father\'s wit and humble charm. We chat about how meditation and yoga saved his life. He breaks down his spiritual practices, and shares how he and his dad repaired their relationship. We talk about how he digests the media and approaches life during uncertain times. I was so moved by his powerful words and life force that I didn\'t even ask him about meeting the stars of the movie, but maybe that will be for another day.\\nShow Notes:\\nRafferty\'s Guru and his yoga programs.\\xa0\\nSadhguru Jaggi Vasudev\\nIsha Foundation\\nYou can find Rafferty on IG @meat_raff\\nYou can find me @Flipflops_podcast\\n\\nThank you Jennifer Ettinger for this very special introduction. xx'
