Winter – Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker

Disney Decade Retirement

Person doing snow angel — Earlier in the week.

Airport lounge — Today, right now as i write this. Airport.

9-second video: Handful of years ago.

My original Disney retirement plan was after 40 years, not 30.
dad

Retired in 2014.

Thought it would be 2024.

Grateful to have been in the right place at the right time. Was able to make the early-retirement decision without sacrificing a Disney pension.

i know Disney colleagues that “retired from Disney” before retirement age. Some sacrificed 20 or more years of service and a bona fide Disney pension. Starting something new trumped a forthcoming Disney pension.

Today is our last full day in Glacier.

With freezing temps and cloudy skies, it would be cool to sit fireside, outside. A rip-roaring’ fire, good company, food and drinks.

Since that ain’t happening today, we go to a more relaxed agenda.

Glacier gardener?

14-second video: It was a good afternoon for a cold and cloudy day.

gardener in dress with tree limb cutter — My favorite piece of art in Whitefish.

Ski slopes — Our view when the clouds lifted a bit.

First time here. Have had several years of eating next door but never setting foot in here. Today changed that math.

The generosity of mental improvement is in showing others what is possible.
dad

Improve like you mean it.

Hotel room view

hotel parking lot — We picked facing the highway (and mountain foothills) versus the airport.

mountain sunrise — From our roadside hotel room.

storage unit — Our first real estate rental near Glacier.

Large garage — Climate controlled unit. Climate controlled parking for loading and unloading in potentially extreme weather.

The harder i’ve worked the luckier i’ve become.
dad

Sow, then reap.

Wintery Glacier goodness

11-second video: Yesterday morning from hotel room. We are heading in that direction.

railroad bridge — The town of East Glacier.

google map — Small town with insane wilderness karma and energy.

small-town store front — The Trading Company reminds me of a mountain hardware store, convenience store, and souvenir shop all in one.

The older i get the more important it is to spend time doing what i love.
dad

i’ve loved doing the work that i do for the past 20 years.

Now i want to do less of that and more of the non-work stuff.
