World – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Praying for Earth, work

Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.

Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.

Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.

And as i type this (4:25pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 35 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.

The work-side of me can focus on a grand picture of Earth in an infinite cosmos.

Incomprehensible.

And we are infinitesimal.

Everything we know about Earth and our Milky Way Galaxy…

i have come to learn through science, that we are so blessed, so extraordinary.

But we are the center of nothing.

If Earth disappeared, the cosmos continues, unaltered, uncaring, unaware.

Carl Sagan is intriguing me in a way similar to Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, Mother Theresa, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sheldon Cooper.

Praying now that when i wake up tomorrow (April 8, 2026, 5:00am) our Earth isn’t ‘on-fire’.

It’s different yet the same

It’s different yet the same.

Everything in Kuwait is different, yet everything is the same.

The more i travel internationally, the more obvious it becomes (to me) that people are the same everywhere.

It has never been more pronounced than on this current trip.

It’s inspiring.

Insane is as insane does

Insane is as insane does.

Not sure if there’s any point in starting an 11th year of daily prolific blog writing.

Two mornings from now, that will be one of two options. The other option is to stop writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

What’s the point of continuing?

The cumulative effort from a decade of five-a-day blogging (minimum) has resulted in having written over 2,000 more blog posts than the current posted world record for the number of blog posts written by a single (professional) author.

The posted Guinness world record is 17, 212 posts.

Bill Gates and jeff noel?

Not to contradict Bill Gates, i say more important than innovation is this insidiously under-focused on thing called vision – your picture of the future that is better than now, much better.

There are four objectives Bill Gates thinks we should prioritize. He sees the future looking much better than now, if we do these:

Provide everyone on earth with affordable energy without contributing to climate change.
Develop a vaccine for HIV and a cure for neurodegenerative diseases.
Protect the world from future health epidemics, which might be more infectious than Ebola and more deadly than Zika.
Give every student and teacher new tools so all students get a world-class education.

Dream big. Get there. Stay there. Repeat.

The Disney Way is world famous

Disney Leadership speaker — World Famous.

Disney Way Leadership keynote speaker — The Disney Way is compromised of over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

Struggling is a big part of life. You know, the personal struggles we all face.

But what about in business?

Do entire companies need to struggle with a culture that isn’t intentional?

No.

All that needs to be done is to over-focus on the very same things everyone else either under-focuses on or ignores.

My days are spent talking with executive leaders who don’t know how to initiate a culture like this.

It’s what i’ve grown up on, spent a lifetime doing, and now teach others how to do it themselves.

And it all started on January 25, 1982, when i began my Disney career as a front-line Cast Member, jungle jeff.

PS. Sometimes i end a post just like this one. No moral, no punchline, no call to action. It just ends. Why? Because i figure what happens next it up to the reader.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
