Summary

Today's episode is nothing short of magical because we have the one and only Bob Goff joining us!! Bob is a New York Times bestselling author, a beloved speaker, and someone who truly embodies whimsy, joy, and living life to the fullest. We're diving into his latest book, Catching Whimsy, which is all about finding wonder in the everyday and chasing the extraordinary. In classic Bob Goff fashion, we also explore his latest escapades—like his attempts to buy giraffes (yes, giraffes!), why you’ll almost always catch him rocking a Boston Red Sox hat, and the incredible story behind why he puts his actual phone number in the back of all his books. Spoiler alert: someone calls him during the recording, and of course, he picks up—because that's just who Bob is! This conversation is full of laughter, unexpected twists, and inspiring truths you won't want to miss. So, settle in, grab a cup of coffee, and get ready to feel the whimsy!
