15-second video: Yesterday. Friday. Quittin’ time for most people. Still thinking, past quittin’ time. Thinking is my highest priority work task. The “Severance question” has to do with an analogy from a recent client conversation.

The pinnacle work effort is when your effort never feels like work.

The top photo is an illustration of what can happen when you love doing something that doesn’t feel like work.

i wrote five daily, differently-themed blog posts for five years while i worked and traveled the globe full-time at Disney Institute.

Every time i thought about starting a morning by skipping writing due to a demanding schedule, one thought always convinced me to not skip a day.

The thought?

This is what i’d be doing if i wasn’t doing this

Can’t imagine there ever being a morning where i don’t feel like reflecting on what i learned yesterday, what i get to do today, and what i hope for tomorrow.

i knew when i was at the pinnacle of my Disney and Disney Institute career…i’d need/want to start every morning expressing my gratitude for another day by thinking and writing about it.

Will i do it until the morning i don’t wake up for?

Seems like a safe bet.

Record like you mean it

Jody Maberry’s head is barely visible lower left. Our event photographer is in PIXAR shirt, and me sitting on the sidewalk outside the former Disney Institute main studio.

Record like you mean it.

What?

Reflecting this morning on the 48-hour eve of Season 3, Episode 3 release on February 7, 2020.

Jody Maberry and i have recorded over 50 episodes and yet publicly on iTunes, only two show.

If Disney Ran Your Life may not change the world, but i have no doubt it can change someone’s world.

It did mine.

Maybe yours.

If Disney Ran Your Life official recording day

Today is May 20, 2019. All four Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks are available to us.

If Disney Ran Your Life official recording day is today.

Jody Maberry, from Seattle, is in town again.

The last time Jody and i were together to record was 23 days ago in Kuwait.

The photo above shows green thumbs up for all four Walt Disney World Theme Parks today.

Jody will be here at 10AM.

Hired a photographer/videographer for the day. He does creative work and we have a great working relationship – i trust him to focus on creative, excellent, and different.

One week to impossibly impossible

home office
Yesterday morning with the sun shining brightly from the East.
Hey mic and iPhone setup
Couple nights ago i attempted to synch bluetooth devices. Didn’t work. Was still able to record my first rough-draft speech template for an audience of 12, at a senior citizen care facility.

One week to impossibly impossible.

April Fools Day, 2009, remember?

When i do the TED Talk in five weeks, will the world record be official by then? Will i mention it? Guessing no on both questions.

What’s more impossible, getting invited to Kuwait to deliver a TEDx Talk, or setting a world record for most blog posts written by a single author?

Today, March 24, 2019, neither. But had you asked five, 10, 15 years ago, easy answer would have been an emphatic, “Guaranteed impossible!”

It all ends in 12 days

Orlando motivational Speaker
Imagine this being true for you.

It all ends in 12 days.

This is sick.

A decade.

Never missing a single day.

Not one.

It all ends in 12 days.

And then year 11 begins.

Sick.
