On a call yesterday with Pete Blank, he shared this website. i know a bunch of these Disney folks. Wishing them well. Lots of mouths to feed.
Magic Makers needed.
Our world needs more Magic makers.
So grateful i’ve opted for simple, lean, and over-focused.

Excited to be meeting our son at the dining hall after his last class today. We’ll take a short break in his dorm room and then walk to see the world premiere of Disney/Pixar’s Onward.
Being an army of one is tough work. Doing hard work also yields benefits uncommon to the corporate world. Namely, flying 900 miles to see a world premiere Pixar movie with your college freshman son.

Without searching for this stuff, i (we all do) get exposed to it and often read the first bits to see if it excites me.
This culture article didn’t excite me, but it was intriguing so i read it all.
Throughout, to my trained ear, it sounded inflated.
Small business owners, especially those without a big name credibility anchor (like Disney, Apple, Google), must resort to wordsmithing messages that desperate C-Suite executives find alluring.
Your people are your brand. Your brand is what your people think and do, without thinking.
The opportunity of unpredictability.
Assume you are in less than decent health. Assume you’re in a physical state that had you concerned enough to, for the first time in your life, commit in your spirit to take life-preserving action.
Assuming this is you, and you went to a reputable gym, which of these identically priced offers would seem best, and why?
Buy a package allowing three visits per week with a personal trainer, which would be with any one of the many qualified personal trainers (decent variety)
Buy a package allowing three visits per week with a specifically assigned personal trainer
Assume that all trainers are professional and that their skills and abilities, while covering all the wellness fundamentals, vary based on their years in the business, education, personal experiences, previous clientele – both quantity and quality, their drive to tell you everything – even the stuff others wouldn’t want to confront you with, and based on their vision and commitment to your personal goals.
Which would you pick and why?
Now, switch that thinking to organizational culture health.
