Welcome to The Johnny Rogers Show! I’m Johnny Rogers, and every week I sit down with incredible guests from all walks of life—stand-up comics, musicians, teachers, artists, and more. Each conversation is packed with valuable life lessons and fresh perspectives, all centered around one unique twist: my guest chooses a single word. That word either defines them or captures something they’re passionate about, and it guides our discussion. Life can be tough to navigate, but together, we break it down one word at a time.
