Meet The Moment
It all begins with a story. Dr. Rod Berger’s knack for reading a room and a moment collide during moderated keynotes, capturing stories of impact and influence from Hollywood to the sports world, the boardroom, and the far corners of the imagination.
“The art and science of moderating lies in a steadfast commitment to producing questions based on conversation, not talking points and biographies that inevitably stifle rich discussion, audience learning, and potential and subsequential networking.”

“Dr. Rod Berger’s interview with Opal Lee at the 2025 American Camp Association Conference was extraordinary. Some interviewers center themselves, but not Rod. He is instead like the light at the end of the day—‘magic hour light’—that makes everything look warmer and more appealing. His thoughtful questions and engaging style created a space for deep reflection, inspiration, and heartfelt storytelling, allowing Opal Lee’s wisdom and passion to shine. It was more than an interview; it was a masterclass on how to lead with curiosity, respect, authenticity, and story. His approach reminds us of the power of meaningful conversation to illuminate history, elevate voices, and inspire action.”
