Expectations, work

bead jar jeff noel
So much commitment, discipline, vision, and forethought. Why put 936 children’s necklace beads into a jar and remove one every weekend for 18 years (936 weekends)? A personal expectation with myself as a first-time father.

Why are expectations important to share with the people you care about?

Expectations are life-context.

Context is king.

Without context (expectations clarity) any relationship is poisoned.

Leaders shouldn’t peddle poison.

It’s a dangerous, unhealthy life.

The opposite of Leadership vision.

Unemployed, work

Disney retiree ID
It’s simple. i retired from Disney in 2014 to fulfill a purpose bigger than Disney. And now i’ve retired a second time after 12 years on my own, to fulfill a purpose bigger than working.

What does it feel like to be unemployed?

For starters, context…

Unemployed means retired.

It feels exciting to be ‘unemployed’.

Adventure is out there and we (Cheryl and me) are ready.

Carefree, work

Into ADVENTURELAND
Into ADVENTURELAND.

When in your final life-season, did you believe you were living a carefree life?

My first thought, “i can’t remember.”

Second thought, “It’s now my burning desire to chase it.”

Teaching The Disney Way is how i’ve made a living since 1999. Starting 2026, no more ‘making a living’.

It’s time to ‘work’ on chasing carefree…

To want nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

To live in the moment.

Like a college student on Spring Break with a little spending money and a heart full of adventure.

Grace, work

Glacier National Park
Wilderness. More Amazing Grace. Heading there in three weeks.

What is Grace?

A question like this becomes even more important when we ask a few other questions:

  1. What would humanity be like without Grace?
  2. What would humanity be like with the opposite of Grace?

Smiling Jesus, work

What makes Jesus smile?

Gotta say, this is beyond my understanding.

But if pressed to share some ideas…

Foregivness…
