Family – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Family epiphany, home

Three five year old boys having fun poolside — Charlie, EJ, and Chapin (at EJ’s birthday party at his pool, 2005). What kid isn’t into life for the fun of it all?

Family epiphany?

Yes.

No one lives forever.

Life is a great big mystery contradicted by the big three:

science
dogma
religion

i’m not here for a long time, and i’m ready to be here for a good time, with whatever time remains.

Blogging’s hidden blessing, home

Best Disney Keynote speaker — i have written blogs from the most unlikely places.

Disney expert and author jeff noel — Blogging from Disney’s Magic Kingdom First Aid building lobby.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

The cool blessing with blogging is that blogging has no expectation.

If you write only one blog post in your life, fine.

If you create a website and add a blogging software, but never write a single post, blogging says, “no problem”.

And if you write more personal blog posts than anyone in the world ever has, blogging says, “Oh, I never noticed”.

i love the infinite blessings of leaving a trail for you, Son.

In the big picture i will die with peace, with zero regrets on what i might have said.

Imagine one Disney couple

two retired disney leaders — “Mickey and Minnie”. Felt like it sometimes. We share 66 combined years of Disney Service.

Imagine one couple.

Working a combined 66 years at the same company.

Now imagine if they had lived out the original plan for 80 combined years.

Crazy!

Right?

Lean into discomfort.

Dear Son,

Writing for myself, first and foremost, has helped me be a better parent.

How do i know?

Gut feeling.

Writing everyday forces me to think deeper, reach higher, care more, and work harder.
