Meet Bryan Rafanelli, legendary internationally respected event planner, author, raconteur, an all-around amazing guy. Passionate about politics, and spectacular events, he brings incredible energy to the podcast, discussing everything from “glass tents” to a four-day destination wedding in Istanbul to State Dinners and Christmases at the White House.
During over conversation, Bryan shares his deep admiration for both the Clintons and Obamas, and especially for their remarkable ability to raise children under incredible scrutiny. And, among so many other topics, he speaks about how he always asks his clients “what’s your favorite party scene in a movie?” We both agreed with his answer, which led to a delightful story about planning his own 50th birthday to look like a scene in “The Great Gatsby.”
I hope you enjoy our extremely noteworthy 76th episode as much as I did. Thanks, Bryan!
As always, stay safe, stay strong, wear masks, socially distance….and we’ll all get through this together.
Best,
Doug
