Eighteen Disney Legends, and nobody said magic
|
Howdy Reader! Eighteen Disney Legends. Twenty years of conversations. And almost none of them used the word magic. They said curious. They said story. They said detail. They said we tried it, it did not work, and we tried something else. Today, we're sitting down with Lou Mongello, host and creator of WDW Radio and a Podcast Hall of Fame inductee, who has been sitting across the table from the people who actually built Disney since 2005. Imagineers, composers, animators, and the executives who opened the parks. In August, he finally put eighteen of those conversations into a book. Bob Gurr, the man Walt handed the Matterhorn bobsleds to, was afraid of roller coasters. Lou asked him how you prepare for a job like that, and Gurr said you prepare by being prepared for nothing specific. Be curious every hour of your day about everything, especially the things you know nothing about. None of these people describe creativity as a gift. They describe it as a habit.

Howdy Reader! There is a thing your setup needs that nobody has made yet. You have thought about it. You probably even know roughly what it would cost. Doc Rock went and made his. This Friday we're sitting down with Doc Rock, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Ecamm and co-host of The Flow. He spent years traveling around teaching podcasting, and everywhere he went, people asked him about pop filters for their microphones. The only decent one shipped from the Netherlands, thirty dollars...
Howdy ! I have a folder on my Mac called "someday." It has subfolders. And is color-coded. That's how you know it's serious. You've got one too, probably. Maybe yours is a note called "ideas," untouched since 2019, sitting right above that reminder to back up your hard drive. Mine sat there for four years, giving me the side-eye every time I scrolled past. Then AI gave me some hours back, and three things came out of that folder in the last two months. Alive. Blinking at the light. 1. The CNL...
Howdy Reader! Here is a stat that may surprise you... Online content is up 57 percent since generative AI showed up. Everybody got the same tools on the same day, and we all did the obvious thing with them, which is make more. So it is worth asking why everything you publish seems not to work as well as it used to This Friday we're sitting down with Angie Callen, the founder of The Modern Coach. She is a former engineer turned award-winning executive coach, author, and speaker; she wrote a...
