Chris Trout returns and the tables are turned. During this conversation he gets to ask me three unique questions. Some of the topics we discuss: Disney Stories That Inspire: From the incredible journey of Lee Cockerell to the legendary tale of Joe Rohde's tiger in the boardroom, we dive into stories that have not only inspired me but countless others. These stories are a testament to the power of perseverance and the art of storytelling. The Evolving Workforce: We explore the shifting dynamics of the modern workforce. What are younger employees looking for? How can organizations adapt? The importance of meaningful work and engaged leadership has never been clearer. Sunset Moments in Parks: As a former park ranger, I share some of my favorite "sunset moments" and the joy of seeing families and kids connect with nature for the very first time. These experiences remind us of the simple yet profound impact of our natural world. Remember, whether you're a leader, storyteller, or nature enthusiast, always seek the story within the story. Make sure to listen to the full episode for more on immersing yourself in the stories and insights that can transform your perspective.

To follow up on her interview with Joe Rohde, former Disney Imagineer and experience architect of Virgin Galactic, Maya talks to Bob Rogers, the man who puts the ‘B' 'R' in ‘BRC'. Founder and chairman of BRC Imagination Arts, Bob is our Master of Storytelling.  Over the course of his 50+ year career, Bob has developed two patents, has won over 500 international awards for creative excellence with BRC, including two Academy Award nominations. In 2006, Bob was honored with this industry's highest honor, the Themed Entertainment Association's Award for Lifetime Achievement. He's been inducted into the IAAPA Hall of Fame and has served on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences. Bob was also invited by NASA to help develop its master plan for the exploration of Mars and later awarded him the NASA Public Service Medal.  Writer, innovator, teacher, scholar…Bob has many things, but we tend to think of Bob as a magician. He's made a career making people smile, suspending our disbelief long enough to help us forget ourselves or maybe to find ourselves.  To learn more about Bob Rogers: www.bobrogers.com   To learn more about BRC: www.brcweb.com

Happy New Year fam! We are coming in to 2022 hot with a month dedicated to goals and goal setting. We are so dang resolute! On the news we talk about the new Pixar movie Turning Red going straight to Disney Plus. We talk about Oscar hope for the Encanto soundtrack. It seems as though everyone is talking about how We Don't Talk About Bruno! But Oscar won't likely be talking about Bruno either :( Light sabers at Galaxy's Edge now come with custom clear plastic bags. Joe Rohde died of shock at the news, then immediately began spinning in his grave. They we talk about Brittany Charboneau who won all four races at the 2022 Walt DIsney World Marathon weekend. A pretty Dopey (and admirable) Challenge. Insead of Autumn stumping Justin, she gives him a Buzzfeed style personality quiz. Let's find out where Justin would work at Disney World. And spoiler, no it's not spreading sawdust over protein spills. Website: easydizit.com Email: easydizitpodcast@gmail.com Instagram: instagram.com/easydizit Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@easydizit?

Two of the most legendary modern Imagineers are Joe Rohde and Tony Baxter. On our show today, we debate the merits of Mr. Animal Kingdom vs. Mr. Disneyland Paris. Both creative men have created classic rides and experiences including: Pandora, Expedition Everest, Big Thunder Mountain, and Splash Mountain, to name a few. Also, we review the newest Pixar film, Luca!

Consider for a moment that exploration is compulsive behavior… something you must do.  It's an engine that runs a lot of life energy.  Our host of the Explorers podcast, Richard Wiese, had the opportunity to talk with Joe Rohde about this on an episode recently.    Joe retired after working as an Imagineer at Disney for forty years. He started working for the company when Epcot Center was being built and helped design several country pavilions there. Imagineering is the company's branch responsible for conceptualizing, planning, and building everything that Disney makes.  Imagineering blends engineering with the arts. It strives for authenticity and diversity of ideas. Joe Rohde worked in the conceptual department. This means he is an “ideas” man, where every project starts. During his research into projects, Joe would often look for creating a kinesthetic experience for theme park goers… Asking the question, “What does it FEEL like to be here?”  His work on the Animal Kingdom project at Disney meant facing the challenge of creating an animal experience while moving away from the zoo paradigm. He stresses the importance of sending messages about our relationship to the world and conservation. At the same time, it's about appreciating the chance to explore the relationship between the animals and us.  At the heart of it, explorers are storytellers. Joe Rohde is an advocate of the diversity of ideas, noting that you need to be encouraged to think differently to create new ideas.  It's essential to look for diverse input to change yourself and your approach to creativity.    To learn more about explorer Joe Rohde and his adventures as an Imagineer and explorer, check here. To hear about other explorers, join us for new episodes of Life's Tough: Explorers are TOUGHER! At https://www.lifestough.com/podcast/explorers/.  Richard Wiese, the host of this podcast, is an American explorer. He is the author of the guidebook, Born to Explore: How to Be a Backyard Adventurer. He became the youngest person to become president of the Explorers Club in 2002. Richard is also Executive Producer and Host of the PBS weekly television series Born to Explore with Richard Wiese.

On Disney California Adventure's 20th anniversary, Eitan and Carl chauffeur you to the park's grand opening. This park represented the culmination of a decade of disaster for Disney's theme parks.

In news this week, Eitan and Carl discuss Apple's new distribution deal with Skydance Animation and the reopening of movie theaters in NYC.
