Both explained by psychiatrist Dr. Jeff Schwartz:
The easiest way to understand the difference between the mind and the brain is - the brain is a piece of biological matter ( protoplasm) in your skull. That's the brain. It's a thing; you can hold it in your hand. The mind is your experiences, and especially for scientific purposes your attention and attention focusing capacity so they aspect and the way in which you focus attention on your experiences.
