165 PJ Dolan of Secret Spot Escape Rooms

Under the Crossbones The Pirate Podcast

PJ Dolan is the owner and designer of Secret Spot Escape Rooms in San Diego, CA. This pirate-themed escape room sounds like a must-visit if you're headed that way.

We dig into how he learned the chops of designing escape rooms and other themed attractions even though he had no previous experience. And also how he watches the psychology of his customers to constantly tweak the experiences and make them more exciting and satisfying.

And we'll find out about his previous life as a world traveling vagabond and how he managed to do and see so much at such a young age.

Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture. Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.
