In Disney’s home

Disney leaders at a January 2025 reunion — L-R: Vicky, Sheryl, Stephanie, John, Debbie.

Last night while on LinkedIn i see this post. Wow! Pursuit Collection joins NYSE January 7, 2025. Pursuit runs hospitality operations in and next to Glacier National Park.

For most of my 30-year Disney career, work was my top priority.

Luckily, i consistently put physical health second.

Leadership at Disney demands your best, your 100% commitment, your sacrifice. It’s not a blatant ask. It’s subtle, subliminal, invisible, and generally unspoken.

So i was decently able to stop, or at least slow, the physical ramifications of the inherent physical neglect on exercise, nutrition, and sleep.

i hope future Disney Leaders (and leaders everywhere) will work in an environment that makes health a priority over work.

Ps. It’s kinda fun to do the impossible. -Walt

Love to learn but hate to change?

Disney karma — Last night. Djuan sharing with Chapin one of his famously-crazy homemade videos.

Glacier Park fire tower — This Glacier National Park fire tower near the Canadian border was razed in the 1960’s. Screenshot from a Facebook update yesterday…timing, huh?

speaker tips — On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best) for your love of learning and your love of change, then multiply the two. What is your total? Ps. Before bed last night i watched a decently informative video.

Organized enough to know Michael is returning to Australia in a week. Who knows if there will ever be a chance to see him again.

He, Djuan, and i spent a week in Glacier a month ago. Jody Maberry was along for two nights, and i forgot to Facetime Jody last night.

Wanted my Family to meet Michael and to connect as a unit (with Djuan) before it was too late.

Last week i organized the dinner date.

And before bed, i caught up on the day’s emails, etc.

Stumbled upon a great UK speaker and learned a cool approach to illustrating a blinding flash of the obvious…most of us love to learn and most of us hate to change.

One step up from homelessness, but it’s still the HQ

cousins on the front porch — We only sat around the house the final 30 minutes.

The only part of our home i showed Randy was the office, so he could picture where i sit during most of our calls.

Why that matters is lost on me.
