Aging is cool, work

if disney ran your life podcast
Hard to imagine this podcast (If Disney Ran Your Life) was never anything i wanted to do. Ever! i told Jody Maberry (the host)\ (and host to 600+ episodes of Lee Cockerell’s “Creating Magic” podcast) that i wasn’t interested. At all. Told Jody that for three years. Why 3 years? Because we hit it off and became Glacier National Park kin. Then i caved and we started recording. Our first “official episode” was at the top of the Kuwait Towers. i was there to do a TEDx Talk. i paid Jody’s way to join me. It was extraordinary.
If Disney Ran Your Life Podcast in Kuwait
i invited Jody along with one goal – to record Episode one of Season 3 – the official launch of If Disney Ran Your Life podcast. We had lunch at the top and recorded from the top. What are the odds? Zero!!!!

Aging.

Advantage or disadvantage?

Aging is cool if you have a great CEO.

If you don’t have a great CEO, you’re doomed.

You know about life’s various wakeup calls.

What i just wrote may be a small wake-up call.

Painful in acknowledging it.

But true, for context.

You reap what you sow.

i’ve always loved being a gardener, even when i knew very little about gardening.

Not gonna lie, for a decent amount of years (at least the past 20), i feel like a master gardener.

Bloom where you’re planted.

Some gardener-personal leadership context…

Plants need three things to thrive.

  1. The right soil.
  2. The right amount of light.
  3. The right amount of water.

Ever seen a cactus near the Amazon river?

Ever seen a palm tree in the desert. (An oasis doesn’t count, which actually proves the 3 things plants need).

Ps. Did i mention we are seven days from wheels up to Paris?

Aging at work

An aging career is a…

Gift.

Challenge.

Opportunity.

Final exam.

Ps. Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Pss. To know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know.

Bonus: Never get bored with the basics.

Hello personal leadership

movie ticket purchase confirmation
Went with Sandro and Tracy. While enjoying dinner at their house last night, and while we enjoyed dessert, we reserved these tickets.

Planned ‘hellos’ are the opportunity of your lifetime.

  1. New dreams.
  2. Old dreams.

Interesting time in life, at work

cheetah at Disney
Last week at Walt Disney World.

Interesting time in life.

Over-focusing is a lonely endeavor.

Didn’t use to be while at Disney.

A community of believers is extraordinary.

Outside of Disney, it’s an unknown concept.
