Episode 6.25: Impressions of Nerd: This week, Greg and Garrick have the privilege of sitting down with one of the true legends of themed entertainment, Bob Rogers, founder of BRC Imagination Arts, for what became one of their favorite conversations they've ever recorded.

Broadcast from the BRC offices, the discussion explores Bob's remarkable career, the experiences that shaped his approach to storytelling, and the lessons he's learned from decades of creating some of the world's most memorable attractions, museums, and branded experiences.

The conversation also dives into Bob's upcoming book, Deep Story, releasing September 8, 2026, exploring why meaningful stories resonate so deeply and how great experiences connect with audiences on a profoundly human level.

Along the way, Bob shares incredible stories from his career, offering behind-the-scenes insights, wisdom, humor, and the kind of perspective that only comes from a lifetime spent creating unforgettable experiences.

Whether you're a fan of themed entertainment, storytelling, creative leadership, or simply love hearing fascinating life stories, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
