Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker
One million+ people globally while at Disney Institute.
Because we’ve always done it that way.
Don’t take a risk to change things.
It probably won’t work.
And so it goes.

Can’t help but wonder, after a day as busy and long as today, what it might feel like if i skipped a day of writing five blog posts.
After eight years and seven months of not missing a single day, time will tell.

Up at 5:00am like normal.
Write for a couple hours.
Breakfast (randomly, and serendipitously, this time with a few clients) in the hotel lobby.
Catch Uber to airport.
Stop at gym on way home from Orlando airport.
Pick up son after swim practice.
Frozen pizza in oven.
Unpack.
Start watching recording of America’s Got Talent final show (before live results come on at 8pm).
Hear the news from Cheryl that Dad’s Nursing Home is recommending Hospice for Dad.
Go to bed remembering what i wrote in Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit
The three most magnificent days in our life are the day we are born, the day we figure out why, and the day we die.
Praying Dad sees it the same way.
Dad is 91.
He’s ready.
And i believe he’s been praying for his third most magnificent day.

Life would be easier if i didn’t write every morning (reprise).
The closer i get to the 60th birthday, the more clearly i see the value in a single day.
i can only imagine what i will write if i ever have some weird comprehension of my last days.

Three admin issues i dealt with yesterday:
Photo #1: A fantastic Disney Institute (DI) colleague who left DI to contribute at DU (Disney University), is having a “party” in his honor today at 3PM and i’ll be on a plane to Chicago. Not only can’t i be there physically, but a call is also out. He’s been hired by Universal Studios who wants to tap into his 22 years at Disney.
Photos #2-3: An outdoorsman is trained to read his surroundings. Many times it’s simply routine and sometimes it’s a potential matter of survival. The second time i saw the suspicious person, i paused my day and did what any great survivalist would do, make certain he wasn’t a threat to our neighborhood. The first time i saw him he was hours earlier and a mile away at the grocery store and he stood out to me then too.
Photo #4: At dusk, some final yard work. Funny, that white SUV parked by our mailbox was 100% out of place so i watched. It never moved. As i walked some items to the curb for today’s pickup, i was startled to see two adults walking away from our garage. The photo of them was intended to put them on the defensive. i was on defense from not knowing their motive. They knew why they were there but i didn’t. i needed to dilute their advantage and put them on defense. And in the wilderness example, i was potentially vulnerable. i quickly gained an offensive position with a photo of their faces. They were Real Estate agents soliciting business. It ended well (including hugs), but in the moment, i had to follow the survivalist instinct.
