Welcome 2026, work

Lake McDonald is 10 miles long, 500′ deep at the deepest, and this south shore location is ridiculously easy to access.

Those creative ideas you have on how to make your work life better, remember this…

No great idea ever starts out great.

Great ideas generally sound like dumb ideas initially.

We need dumb ideas to spark the progression for idea improvement.

Dream like you mean it.

.think .differently like you mean it.

Lean into discomfort like you mean it.

Have fun like you mean it.

Take the long way

Working smart is the opposite of working hard.

But ‘working smart’ IS the result of working hard.

You have to put in the hours before you see shortcuts. You have to learn details before you learn which details matter.

You have to fail many times before you discover how to do succeed.

The long way is the shortcut.

Time has a unique effect on perspective.

In this case, softness, mellowness, freedom.

It’s been a long time since the last time i sat at a Cafe four-top with colleagues from Disney Institute.

At least a decade.

We all realize we are on the downhill side of life’s bell-curve.

Freedom comes from graciously and wisely accepting this.
