Rashad Rayford

Some rooms wake up when you walk in.
Some rooms were already asleep before you started.
The difference isn't the agenda, slides, or even the speaker.
It's chemistry.

I'm Rashad Rayford - poet, keynote speaker, Moth Story Hour Grand Slam Champion, and the voice behind the D.O.S.E. of Story framework. I've spoken at Best Buy, AWS, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Tractor Supply. I've talked on NPR and in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. I've stood on TEDx stages and watched story change the way people think about every conversation they'll have for the rest of their lives.
D.O.S.E. stands for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins.
Four chemicals. Every room. Already running.
This channel is where I show you how to work with them - not against them. Through story, through science, and through the kind of honesty most channels leave on the cutting room floor.
Subscribe. And come ready to think differently about every room you walk into.
