One provocative idea

August, 1984. Just weeks before we drove across the United States for five days to get to Orlando and Walt Disney World. To begin carving out a life with lifelong careers at Disney.

One provocative idea is what you need for a:

  1. TED Talk
  2. Book
  3. Website
  4. Social Media

Note to self: Get on it, jeff. Write your next “punchy” book. i mean, now that you’re starting to feel better. lol

We work while others play

You know my Christmas Story.

Worked at Disney 13 years before asking for Christmas week off.

Didn’t get it.

Asked again (only the second time ever) after 14 years at Disney.

Got it.

Only took 14 years. But the kicker is i knew not to ask for the first 12 years.

‘We work while others play‘ is learned on Day One in Disney Traditions (new hire orientation).

Note: It’s fun to know i can tell that story from personal experience, not some legendary Cast Member folklore.

What if i need it?

Some stuff is pure fun. Which then poses a question. What do we do with the tree after Christmas? Leave it? Trash it? Donate it? Store it? Where? Knick-knacks, like email folders, slowly pile up over the years.

Profoundly pervasive.

Generationally passed down, as a societal norm.

For decades, many families didn’t (many still don’t) have the financial or emotional freedom to let go of ‘important’ things…

What if we need it someday?

Easy and ease, work

Work is easy.

Becoming an artist is hard.

Until it isn’t.

Becoming a category of one only happens when you have the ease to relentlessly .think .differently

And tirelessly and gratefully .do .differently
