Crown of the Continent

Reynolds Mountain views
Djuan is my neighbor. Michael is his (and now my) Australian friend.
Sanibel sunset
Is this a sunrise or a sunset? My Dad never visited Sanibel Island either. He would have enjoyed it. April 10 is the day he died.

Crown of the Continent or Sanibel Island?

Right now it’s a no-brainer. Given the choice to do only one, Glacier easily wins.

Why?

This Summer’s Sanibel Island trip will be our 31 year. Our Glacier trip will be year 11 or 12. It will be our Son’s seventh. He’s been to Sanibel 19 years.

By the time this post is published, i could be biking and hiking through the Crown of the Continent.

i will also just have returned from a keynote speech in Madrid.

Guessing by June 10 the official release of If Disney Ran Your Life podcast will have launched.

Untethered with conformity

The photo upload function on WordPress has been broken since migrating my website hosting to a different platform.

Untethered with conformity, that’s what children are by default.

Still taking risks, by default.

As we redo our two upstairs bathrooms for the first time since building them in 1992, the technology advancements are exciting.

A waterless hot water heater. Motion-detection on/off sinks. No-touch sensor for the toilet flush. Apps to turn the shower on and off. 

Because the master bathroom is having a transformation, we extended this into the bedroom, out into the hallway, and down the steps – all of it getting redone.

The way every room opens up when untethered by window treatments is exhilarating. It reminds us of when the home was being built. Raw natural energy, the inside and the outside seemed like one, not two places.

How long should a great TEDx Talk last?

Grinnell Glacier overlook
It’s 8.5 miles from the Logan Pass (Continental Divide) Visitor’s Center. The short way to the shuttle is another 6 miles, mostly downhill. You can also hike 8.5 miles back the way you came.

There is a TEDx Talk here by Duncan Wardle, a former Disney executive. It’s almost 18-minutes long.

How does under 10 minutes sound? Eight minutes?

What about 12 minutes?

Future Disney Speaker Podcast episodes

Disney Keynote Speaker
Branding. Repetition.

Additional ideas, in the form of Disney stories, will round out the first 5-10 episodes.

Also, a short riff on what to expect…just know that instead of business vibrancy, expect to be challenged with having personal vibrancy.

There is no room for the status quo, no tolerance for mediocrity.

None.

Period.

Yet in a busy, challenging world, we let things slide simply as a survival tactic.

Deadly.

What we accept by default becomes the standard.

Then people call me and ask if i can help them “Magically” solve their unsolvables.

i’m good, but i’m not a miracle worker.

i do, however, possess the secret formula for world-class organizational vibrancy.

So we meet in the middle.

i offer them the blueprints, they attempt to rebuild.

Find a million ways

Find a million ways to exceed people’s expectations.

Doing so is a never-ending journey.

It’s a privilege to have customers and employees and shareholders stay with you for their lifetime.
