SoCal Voices

SoCal Voices is an award-winning podcast about navigating life in Southern California.

Beyond the stunning coastline, great weather, and endless calendar of world-class events and experiences, other realities exist:

High cost of living. Soul-crushing commutes. The pressure of hustle culture. The quiet ache for connection and purpose in the middle of all this sprawl.

SoCal Voices is your companion through it all. Creator and host Angela Ross explores insightful conversations with guests offering real talk, local wisdom, and honest inspiration to help you navigate life in this one-of-a-kind place.

Because Southern California isn’t just a dream. It’s a real place, and you deserve to feel grounded in it.

SoCal Voices. Real talk in the land of dreams.

Dr. Disneyland, Walt's Wisdom & the Power of Belief

December 04, 2025 • Angela Ross

Southern Californians know a thing or two about chasing sunshine and big dreams, and there’s no better example of that spirit than the man who created the happiest place on earth.

In this episode of SoCal Voices, you’ll hear from Dr. Disneyland, also known as Jeff Barnes, the author, speaker, and founder of The Wisdom of Walt. He shares how exploring Walt Disney’s life reshaped his own journey.

He unpacks what it really means to build your own reality and why those “wild” ideas you’re afraid to say out loud might be exactly what puts your world on a whole new path.
