Who doesn’t love Walt Disney?

Disney Keynote Speakers
i love this man. And there are millions of others around the globe who feel the same.

Walt was one of the original disruptors.

He did many things no one had ever done before.

  • First cartoon with synchronized sound – Steamboat Wille 1928
  • First cartoon in color – Flowers and Trees in 1932
  • First multi-plane camera 1932 (Old Mill, 1937 Academy Award)
  • First full-length animated feature movie – Snow White 1937
  • First Themed Park – Disneyland 1955
  • First Themed vacation destination – Walt Disney World 1971
  • New CEO Michael Eisner 1984
  • New CEO Bob Iger 2005

The milestones are vast in number. These are among the most significant in my experience inside Disney from 1982-2014.

PS. i’m still an insider because i still have a Cast Member ID and we live less than a mile from Walt Disney World.

“Congrats and thank you”, says your future self in 10 years

Kane Brown
Last night (7:22pm), stumbled upon this.

 

A decade from now, your future self is going to thank you for something you did this month.

You did something new.

Something different.

Something better.

And it may even have been the elimination of a tendency or habit you had. Stopping something is also new. Also a seed.

Either way…

You planted the seed of a new habit.

“Congrats and thank you”, says your future self in 10 years.

It’s the reason all three of us took the risk

Lee Cockerell and i enjoyed a half-hour together yesterday.

Left the house at 5:50am for the hour bike ride to arrive 10 minutes early for a 7am breakfast at “Lee’s Starbucks”.

Lee’s son, Dan, recently left Disney to do what Lee and i do – help others by sharing our Disney wisdom in speeches and advising.

We shared how our Summer is going and weaved in and out of business talk.

Lee asked me if i ever expected the freedom i currently enjoy with controlling my time.

Yes.

It was the reason i took the risk.

It’s the reason his son, Dan, recently did the same.

So excited for Dan – almost as if he’s my brother.

On the 12-mile return bike ride, i carved out 50 more minutes at the gym to focus on strength, core, and flexibility.
