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.

Why we are unhappy TED Talk video.

Managing our big three expectations is the key to managing our happiness and unhappiness.

The video is brilliantly, and in my opinion, irrefutably presented.

Enjoy…

And…

Here’s to our best Summer ever.

T-minus 10 days to the first of several Summer Glacier National Park trips.

The first trip is 11 days, with an 8-day bicycle rental.

Why?

Increases odds of a few sunny, warm days while there.

Having bikes for 8 days ensures a few great riding days, even if it rains for days.

Only recently have i begun sharing this fact about leaving Disney

TED Talk on having it all
Think again? (top left) This screenshot is from the video embedded below. It’s 17-minutes. Only watch it if you yearn for the encouragement to balance your family-work life.

 

Worth noting that i retired in 2014 and left Disney at age 55 for two reasons:

  1. Didn’t want to be gone (business travel) while our Son was in High School.
  2. Didn’t want to do anything at Disney except Disney Institute.

i knew i would live to regret being away during his High School years.

(A decent compromise is watching the first 2.5 minutes…obviously, the entire 17-minutes is valuable. But who’s got 17 minutes?) Anyway…

He’s an 11th-grader now.

Leaving Disney (after 30 years) in 2014 allowed me to be around for his final year of middle school too.
