Babb is the gateway to Many Glacier Valley, Swiftcurrent Valley and Waterton Lakes (Canada). Santa put it under our tree last night. Thank you Santa.

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.

Personal leadership as CEO of You, Inc

The juxtaposition between Glacier and Sanibel is remarkable.

Same planet.

Same Country.

Remarkably different landscapes.

Same with Family members.

Same blood.

Remarkably different personalities.

Some are inspiring.

Some illicit fear from unpredictability.

As CEO of You, Inc, always bring the best version of yourself to every encounter.

May the Universe send you everything good your way this holiday season.

Happy Memorial Day

Happy.  Memorial Day.

The two words seem to contradict each other.

While my Dad and my Father-in-law served our Country, both came back alive.

My Father-in-law returned from Europe after WWII.

My Dad came back from Japan after the Korean Conflict.

There are many Families that will have a different, and more difficult, time remembering this day than most of us.

This day is dedicated to the memory of their loved ones.  The ones that never came home to see their Family grow.

It is with the utmost respect, and deepest humility, that we should all remember the price for our freedom.

Freedom isn’t free.  It often comes with a huge price tag.  

Today is about the price that has been paid in full

Walt Disney once said something very close to this, “If you could look deep into my eyes, you would see red, white and blue stripes”.

The Star Spangled Banner is one of our Nation’s great songs.  Let freedom ring.  Peace, jeff
