Wake up, think, read, write, dream

Disney Institute speakers
Wow, from 2010…stumbled upon it last night.

 

Cleaning (by deleting many) digital files yesterday and stumbled upon a 2010 email i sent Jeff James, then VP at Disney Institute. There was something in his two-minute voice message that compelled me to offer my assistance.

 

Up since 3am. Thinking. Reading. Writing. Dreaming.

Ask your team, who on our team does it more counter-intuitively.

And, um, click https://www.sethgodin.com/sg/blurbs.asp

I can help you.

 

Jeff James is the same Disney Institute leader i pitched the book idea to. “Imagine every business professional in every corner of the world, with their bookshelf loaded with a disproportional number of Disney Business books, similar to the way most homes have a disproportional number of Disney movies compared to their entire collection of kids movies.”

October 1, 2017 and top of mind thoughts this morning

Boat House on Lake McDonald
Short walk to the beach, only 24 hours ago.

 

Boat House on Lake McDonald
Clouds make the same view different and generally drive a weather change.

 

Boat House on Lake McDonald
Fires still going, since August 10. Temperatures dropped 25 degrees yesterday.

 

Boat House on Lake McDonald
Loved the Boat House. The house handbook.

Even the short walk, i carried Bear spray. Odds are so small, but not zero. Kinda like a seatbelt.

 

October 1, 2017 and top of mind thoughts this morning are:

  1. Slept two and a half hours past normal wakeup until 7:20am. Rare.
  2. Remember swearing years ago i’d never take a late flight home from Glacier. Did it last night. Rare. “Desperate”.
  3. Trip was “too short”.
  4. While it was tempting to feel remorseful for having to leave, i had to work harder than normal (but not very long…maybe 10 seconds) to channel my energy into being so incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity.
  5. Happy 46th birthday Walt Disney World and Magic Kingdom.
  6. Happy 35th birthday Epcot.
  7. Looking forward to opening a box today at Epcot – sent from China.
  8. Leaning more heavily toward spending double the time at Glacier next Summer. Four-plus weeks instead of two-plus weeks.
  9. Spent more time (still a drop in the bucket compared to heavy users) on Facebook since i am posting Glacier photos and videos.
  10. Getting closer to making a decision on a post to share how the real battle from the onlookers isn’t with politics, it’s with the CEO of their life.
  11. The reality of my 10-year goal to do everthing i want to do before time is up – i only have one more Summer – June 8, 2019 is the “deadline”.
  12. i wonder what older members of my Family want, if anything, from me.

Writing is good for my health.

Happy third year of Disney retirement jeff

weather at Glacier in October
Temps dropped yesterday 25 degrees and nothing but clouds.

 

Lake McDonald in October
Drastic weather change from the past three days.

 

In the midst of adversity, expect opportunity.

Reminiscing on the 2008-2009 economic tsunami and the Disney layoffs that resulted, i distinctly remember feeling betrayed.

The layoff “formula” didn’t make sense to me.

i was also at the height of my personal feelings that Disney Institute had nowhere to go but up when it came to modeling our message.

What makes you come alive?

Best Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Stumbled onto this one first.

 

Disney Customer Service Speakers
Stumbled upon this just now.

 

Leaving for the airport in an hour.

Heading to Glacier National Park.

Third time in 60 days.

Why?

In addition to Walt Disney World, my front and back porches, Glacier makes me come alive.

i’m also courting several businesses that love the Disney business model.

When travel throws your schedule off, climb back on.

Yesterday was a non-exercise day, but four days on the road threw “normal routine” out the window.

Really enjoyed the leisurely bike ride to Disney University before the sun got too hot.
