Seriously, It all started with “Trekkies”, Roger’s first documentary. With “Trekkies”, his celebration of “Star Trek” fans, Roger created the fan documentary. What made it easy was that Roger himself was a fan of the series. And a fan of movies. Roger grew up in Minnesota and migrated west alongside a self proclaimed Minnesota Mafia “ice pack”. We’ll talk about their odd Minnesotan sense of humor. Think the Coen Brothers – Joel and Ethan – and movies like “Fargo”...

Roger Nygard | The Truth About Marriage: What Makes Happy Relationships Work & How To Find A Soulmate
"Soulmates are a problematic concept. You have to lower your expectations a little bit because society has given us all these expectations of what the perfect partner is like which are impossible for anyone to meet. It's better to find someone that you can both grow into soulmates over time and look at them from that perspective. Search for someone that you can finally be yourself around without any fear, retribution, or shame. Someone who celebrates who you are is going to want to be with you and you're going to want to be with them." - Roger Nygard
