BLOG – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Day 2 WGcab, work

Mountains — Asking a photo to capture this accurately is a big ask.

Honeymooners in the mountains — Good thing we are here in person to help explain to others what they’re seeing in the photo.

Honeymooners in the mountains — How do you explain to someone that if you simply turn around you no longer see any mountains. All you see is the Great Plains that go on for hundreds of miles.

Mountains meeting the Great Plains — Literally indescribable.

Disney Keynote Speaker in the mountains — Cheryl was looking for fossils and i climbed up here to record some friends, family, and client videos.

Mountain profiles — The higher you climb, even if it’s only a little bit more than where you’re currently at, yields views you didn’t know were possible.

In the weird blogging experiment, we are already on our third day back home.

Just wanted to write that down.

The heat and humidity are our friends.

And yet, the mountains are calling.

Wheels up in four days.

Day 1 WGcab, work

In the constant urge for more, remember this…

Less is more.

Day 7 Walt Disney World, work

small town welcome sign — “Where the Rockies meet the Plains”.

wheat gain silos — We stopped at the public park for a lunch break before a walking tour of town.

community government sign — Real life in real time. Next to our picnic table.

highway 2 sign — Highway 2 is decently famous amongst people who’ve driven it for great lengths.

As age gifts me (all of us, hopefully) with many leadership lessons and continued opportunities for growth, it’s inspiring to think new thoughts i’ve never before thought.

Day 5 Walt Disney World, work

All trails map image — Upper Two Medicine Lake from the North Shore boat dock is five miles and 800′ elevation gain roundtrip.

mountains reflecting in a lake — Only four people (who camped overnight) were in this vicinity. We are the first ‘day hikers’ to arrive.

backcountry campground sign — You need a backcountry camping permit to stay here.

When you have nothing to prove and nothing to lose, you are in rarified air.

High mountain air would be a great metaphor this month.

Freedom to try and fail.

And by the way, freedom to try and fail is radically better than failing to try.
