The wild places, work

Florida garden spider
The hard work of surviving in the wild inspires me. Since forever ago.

Why do you love the wild places?

From an early age, nature and all of Pennsylvania’s wild things, bugs, flowers, birds, creek critters, fish – all of it mesmerized me.

Leadership lesson number one in the wild…

Survival of the fittest.

Civilization has evolved to help us scale protecting our loved ones from literally infinite, wild, threats.

i am remarkably grateful for this.

i do not romanticize living off the land and all that old-timey stuff.

Nevertheless, the wild still exists. It’s smaller, as civilization keeps asking for more space.

Family epiphany, work

Corporate culture architecture
Blueprints for organizational vibrancy. A BFO?

Family epiphany?

Yes.

Writing is not hereditary.

Yet i write like my life depends on it.

Perhaps, maybe it does.

Music is not hereditary.

But my Dad and his sister, both accomplished, professional musicians.

Me and my sister, nothing.

Lifestyle and hereditary genes influence everyone.

Always have, always will.

Epiphany?

No.

A BFO – a blinding flash of the obvious.

Put your habits in your Will, work

Is Disney World Our Hometown?

A late-life habit, a life-changing habit, i learned and taught at Disney Institute…

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

June 1, 2026, work

child at beach
Our son. Sanibel Island. The early years. Ps. This is a ‘reverse sunset’ view.

Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, school was always one week away from being over, usually June 6, 7, or 8th.

There was no real schoolwork that last week.

The arrival of Summer always had ‘June’ written all over it.

The privilege of making mistakes, work

Orlando Disney Speaker
GNP. A brisk morning at Lake McDonald Lodge marina. i have a career habit of lugging small plastic Disney Character figures, everywhere. Some trips have included as many as five dozen.

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

But only if you want to suck the marrow out of life.

Your call.

Always is.

Never changes.

Ps. Risk like you mean it.

Pss. .think .differently like you mean it.
