In today’s episode, I am thrilled to welcome my long-time friend Roger Holzberg to the show. Roger is one of the most innovative and creative people I have had the pleasure to work with and one of the most accomplished storytellers I know. We met while both working at Disney, where Roger spent 12 years as an award-winning Creative Director / Vice President of Walt Disney Imagineering. Since then, Roger has gone on to do some truly incredible and impactful work. He is the co-founder of Reimagine Well, a company that designs and builds “immersive healing experiences” for hospitals and treatment centers. As a professor at California Institute of the Arts, Roger created the experience design in healthcare curriculum. He also served as the first consulting Creative Director for the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Roger is a father, a 15+ year cancer survivor, and a competitive triathlete, using the sport to raise research dollars for causes he supports. During our conversation, Roger provides advice for teens (and adults) to develop their creative side and engage their imagination, including his three rules for creative problem solving. He also shares the “aha moment” he experienced as a child and how it came full circle decades later. Share this conversation with your teen. It’s sure to get their creative juices flowing!
