My guests will include thought leaders who are driven by a passion to create the ‘new possible’ and promote new paradigms of experience into the mainstream. Designers from all disciplines. Architects who are changing the landscape of the built world. Techno-philes – visionaries who make deeply sensory-based but digitally-mediated experiences. And I’ll explore the transformative process of creativity with artists of all sorts.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T02:17:02.277882+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577"},"episode":{"title":"EP. 85 THE ART AND ZENGENIUS OF VISUAL MERCHANDISING with Joe Baer, CEO / Creative Director, ZenGenius Inc.","slug":"ep-85-the-art-and-zengenius-of-visual-merchandising-with-joe-baer-ceo-creative-director-zengenius-inc","published_at":"2026-02-06T17:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577/ep-85-the-art-and-zengenius-of-visual-merchandising-with-joe-baer-ceo-creative-director-zengenius-inc","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/nxtlvl-experience-design-1288577","url":"https://nxtlvl-ep-0-0-trailer.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-85-the-art-and-zengenius-of-visual-merchandising-with-joe-baer-ceo-creative-director-zengenius-inc-2AMussyW","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/audio/43f40bef-dc16-40d9-bfd8-2f92fc2fda52/episodes/7dd77247-f471-47b9-8a1b-882d931c6769/audio/f29eb7f1-865b-4c69-bc66-d6837a2182ca/default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=t7xR8i18","summary":"Joe Baer is the Co-Founder, Creative Director, and CEO of ZenGenius, Inc. an experiential design firm specializing in visual merchandising and event design.
