5⭐️ Rodgcast

Operating through life in my mid-20s while juggling fatigue and an ADHD-riddled brain, I usually don’t gravitate towards podcasts as they either ramble with hit-or-miss storytelling or find undiscovered ways of stroking an ego. But where others often lose me, this series strides through the door with a direct intention, a casual yet informative presence, and provoking questions that each time catch me off guard in how I’d never thought to think through that perspective.

Also the host is my dad so it really says something that I can get past that wall of parental embarrassment and keep listening - that’s a significant quality worth noting

Bennett Bratt ,

Amazing conversations

Roger has a unique ability to connect with guests and bring out their stories of what they gently hold as “true”. This shared search uncovers aspiration, congruence, and pragmatism.

Corinna Calhoun ,

Great storytelling & range

Roger has interviewed a diverse set of folks on this podcast so far, but what connects them is their stories of living into purpose with curiosity and humility.
