Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
A Social Media perspective, from Beet TV, featuring Bob Iger, CEO, The Walt Disney Company. Bob says Disney isn’t embracing Social Media, Disney is embracing the consumer – it’s the consumer who is embracing social media.
I loved hearing Bob Iger say, “We’re simply going to reach more people in more ways”.
I’m with you Bob. I’m right there with you.

Yesterday….(Not the Beatles).
Happy Birthday (yesterday) to Disneyland!
Walt Disney said:
“I knew if this business was ever to get anywhere, if this business was ever to grow, it could never do it by having to answer to someone unsympathetic to it’s possibilities, by having to answer to someone with only one thought or interest, namely profits. For my idea of how to make profits has differed greatly from those who generally control businesses such as ours. I have a blind faith in the policy that quality, tempered with good judgement and showmanship, will win out against all odds”.
If Walt Disney could have envisioned how successful his business philosophy would ultimately become and how far it would take The Walt Disney Company, maybe he would have found a way to quit smoking.
Crazy, yes. Impossible, no.
Walt Disney never used the word, “Impossible”!

This thought-provoking article is worth a few minutes of your time.
Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t have 180 seconds to spare.
I was at Starbucks on Friday and ordered a tall (which is really a small – too funny) cup of coffee. They were out. So if Starbucks has to brew a fresh pot for you – in 180 seconds – they provide it complimentary.
When he made the offer, I thought, “I don’t have three minutes. I gotta get going“.
Then it hit me, “If you don’t have 180 seconds to spare in your life, you better go look in the mirror and ask why”, I said to myself.
It was amazing, in those brief three minutes, what I saw in the mirror.
I saw a man who has a difficult time fitting all life’s puzzle pieces together. But a man who doesn’t give up.
I was sad and happy all in the course of 180 seconds.
After picking up my son at summer camp, we went to Gold’s Gym for an hour.
It was a great day, because I took even more time to reflect on what’s important, and then acted on it

Even if you’re not into social media, social networking, or social marketing, that’s OK.
Many folks are resistant to change. It’s human nature. Neither bad nor good. It is what it is.
However, there is also a classic truth:
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Maybe it’s having an eight-year old in our house that inspires me to stay current. Maybe it’s the fact that I can be enthusiastic about change and embrace it, or, I can be unenthusiastic and let it suffocate me.
Like I always say, “The choice is ours. Always is, always has been”.
Today’s Orlando Sentinel article, Social network Twitter ushers in new era for athletes, is yet another story on social media becoming, well, socially acceptable.
Now if we can just figure this out for business…..
This morning’s Orlando Sentinel has great news, the Orlando Magic are going to the NBA finals. Woo-hoo!
It also featured an article on Twitter. Seems the Orlando Sentinel “newspaper”, which I read every morning, online, is now on Twitter.
The Sentinel’s Tech expert and writer, Etan Horowitz, explains in OS.com on Twitter.
What does this have to do with jungle jeff?
That’s right, you guessed it. Everything.
At a nine-year old’s birthday party yesterday, while our son was having fun with his friends in the pool, another parent and I discussed his iPhone, my new MacBook, and a few dozen really cool social media apps that most people are not familiar with.
Twitter? Yes, most have heard of, but few understand, it’s capability to market their business. Just look up Twitter on Google to see the buzz.
One of those companies that does understand it is the Orlando Sentinel.
What about you?
