Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“It not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” . — Charles Darwin
“Keep moving forward“. — Walt Disney
Friday night my son and I watched “Meet the Robinsons” on The Disney Channel. At the very end of the Disney movie is Walt Disney’s quote.
Do you know what Charles Darwin and Walt Disney are trying to say?
On the seventh day he rested?
Nope. He floated.
I spent last week at one of Florida’s best beaches, Sanibel Island. It was the polar opposite of wearing business suits and standing in front of hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of business professionals, delivering keynote speeches.
In between the Writer’s Retreat I was attending, while my Family relaxed, I had opportunities to join them.
Float. Swim. Shell. Sun. Shade. Relax.
It’s no different really than when business professionals visit world-class convention destinations like The Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland, or any of the other great Disney Destinations.
Most business professionals attend programs during the day, and also find time to enjoy some things with their family or friends.
And remember the other day I wrote a post, “Where was Obama”? Do you recall the point I was trying to make? Well, it’s the same point here.
By design, I’ve just shared a small glimpse of jungle jeff you haven’t heard about before.
People ask me all the time, “Where do Central Floridians go to get away”?
The intent here is simply having you see me as regular person, who does the same things everyone else does. It works for the President. Maybe it’ll work for me.
Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
Walt Disney and Roy Disney. What a combination. One of the key things that made them a great team was their differences.
Walt, in my opinion, was the modern-day father of creativity. Roy, well, perhaps a financial genius. And both were very hard workers.
I think I met their reincarnations last night, on Sanibel Island.
I’ll call them Vince and Dirk.
Two men, both entrepreneurs, formed a small business partnership, and shared with me their incredible vision for their future.
What I love about Vince and Dirk is they represent, to me, seasoned business professionals who are capitalizing on these turbulent times, using technology and creativity, to position themselves for growth.
One watches every penny. One uses enthusiasm to spawn creativity. Both hustle and work incredibly hard.
I got excited just listening to their story.
If you told your story to a complete stranger, do you think that stranger would get excited about what you’ve done and what you are about to do?
I sure hope so. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

I often ask myself, “Are you doing all you can do to embody the ideals of Walt and Roy Disney“?
Another popular question, “Are their values still relevant“?
Still another, “How can I demonstrate those values in the best way possible“?
Why these questions?
Because Walt Disney and Roy Disney were razor-focused on delivering the very best product, pushing boundaries, and growing their business.
That still seems relevant to me. Does it to you?
Make it a great day.
Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
