In this episode of Themed Attraction Podcast, Freddy and Mel sit down with Jon Storbeck, former Vice President and General Manager of Knott’s Berry Farm. Jon traces his journey from cold-calling his way into Disneyland and starting on the Tomorrowland Skyway to nearly 33 years of Disney leadership and eventually guiding Knott’s. Along the way, he shares hard-earned lessons about frontline teams, reinvesting in the guest experience, and balancing progress with preservation. It’s a candid look at stewardship and what it takes to keep the magic alive.
