I'm not in Disneyland right now, but asking about the process of bringing Disney attractions to life takes my adrenaline rush sky high. Getting an idea of how the magic happens makes it even more magical!

Today's special guest for The Ripple Effect Podcast is Former Walt Disney Imagineer—Brian Collins. You might be wondering, "What's an Imagineer? Is that even a word?"

Walt Disney Imagineers bring the words "imagination" and "engineering" together. They are teams with a range of expertise responsible for the design, creation, and construction of Disney theme parks, cruises, and attractions worldwide.

When you visit Walt Disney attractions at a young age, you probably won't wonder how these theme parks come to life. It’s simply magic! They just leave you with this glazed look of amazement. But today, Brian Collins will share his colorful journey working with Disney and give us a glimpse of the creative processes and hard work behind Walt Disney attractions. Spoiler alert: It’s not easy.

After his impressive work at Disney, Brian Collins embarked on new adventures as a passionate Instructor at the University of Central Florida, became the Founder of The Brainstorm Institute, and Co-Founder and President of the Ensō Education Institute. Among his long list of mind-blowing accomplishments, Brian is also a successful keynote speaker and a master storyteller.

Get ready to be inspired by a creative mind. Are you ready for a rollercoaster ride of creativity and learning?

Steve talks Star Wars, connection points and just how different the universe might have been had he been the Chosen One and asked to sit next to The Emperor AKA George Lucas. This fun solo (as in Han) episode is like an exploration of the cave on The Dagoba System (Yoda's swampy home) except it's scarier. Because you look into the deep crevices of Steve's Star Wars influenced mind and that is way scarier than facing Darth Vader.
