Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Intentionally chose Halloween as my Disney retirement date.
Why?
So i could say, “After 30 years at Disney it was really scary to leave.”

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?
Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.
You are living without any discretionary time.
No extra time to do something that isn’t required.
All your time is spent in “have to do’s”?
Can you imaging having discretionary time to spend on “get to do’s”?
As i lean into discomfort this Summer, i want to waste more time than i ever have.
Wanting to spend time well-wasted.
Busy doing nothing.
Bug watching.
Sky watching.
Thinking crazy thoughts.
And so on and so forth.

Is it possible to finally, for good, let go of habitual, societal posturing?
While working in a career it feels necessary. Mandatory even.
Why?
Societal norm.
But i’m not working (going on five months now) and i see things that no longer matter to me. Things that used to matter all day, every day.
Social media for one, especially LinkedIn.
Trying to keep up with the Jones. And FOMO.
But five months since my second and final retirement i just have no need to keep up. Nothing to prove.
Letting go of posturing is exhilarating.
Why?
If you need me to explain, you’re not ready to comprehend the explanation.
(and if you already know, again, you don’t need me to explain) (ps. Congrats)
Why?
Once you reach the life-stage where constant posturing is a non-issue, you immediately experience a relief you’ve never known.
We all dream of this relief, this freedom, but until it happened i was clueless.

Being busy is not the same as living fully.
Being busy kills my ability to .think .differently
Being busy poisons my ability to .think .deeply
Being busy stifles my ability to hone a growth mindset.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda…
Shoulda, woulda, coulda are side effects of a closed mindset.
Now in 2026, my two thoughts in retirement regarding a lifetime Disney paperwork collection…
Just told a former client yesterday that if it wasn’t for some more books i’d still like to write for our son, i’d likely pitch the whole collection.
