Dogma, work

Sanibel Beach office
Learning to take risks is the only way to discover new ways of doing things a traditional way. Sanibel Island vacation every Summer was a 30-year tradition but it was never dogma.

What is dogma’s greatest benefit to humanity?

An historical leadership roadmap.

Comfort.

Lessons learned.

Memories.

Rules, work

Most unfollow the rules of common sense, but that’s not what this shirt is implying.

Why are rules important?

This may be the dumbest question a sane human being can ask.

The better question…

What would the earth be like without rules?

Without…

Communication rules.

Human-Resources rules.

Career-promotion rules.

Expectations, work

So much commitment, discipline, vision, and forethought. Why put 936 children’s necklace beads into a jar and remove one every weekend for 18 years (936 weekends)? A personal expectation with myself as a first-time father.

Why are expectations important to share with the people you care about?

Expectations are life-context.

Context is king.

Without context (expectations clarity) any relationship is poisoned.

Leaders shouldn’t peddle poison.

It’s a dangerous, unhealthy life.

The opposite of Leadership vision.

Unemployed, work

Disney retiree ID
It’s simple. i retired from Disney in 2014 to fulfill a purpose bigger than Disney. And now i’ve retired a second time after 12 years on my own, to fulfill a purpose bigger than working.

What does it feel like to be unemployed?

For starters, context…

Unemployed means retired.

It feels exciting to be ‘unemployed’.

Adventure is out there and we (Cheryl and me) are ready.

Carefree, work

Into ADVENTURELAND
Into ADVENTURELAND.

When in your final life-season, did you believe you were living a carefree life?

My first thought, “i can’t remember.”

Second thought, “It’s now my burning desire to chase it.”

Teaching The Disney Way is how i’ve made a living since 1999. Starting 2026, no more ‘making a living’.

It’s time to ‘work’ on chasing carefree…

To want nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.

To live in the moment.

Like a college student on Spring Break with a little spending money and a heart full of adventure.
