It’s the hard work that makes it Magic

Goofy baseball cap selling locations
The Emporium was out of the Goofy Baseball cap i wanted. It’s a great prop for a Disney business insight i’ll be sharing tomorrow in Miami. Photo: locations it might be in stock. None of the Magic Kingdom locations had it.

It’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

We tried first at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. No luck.

Then we tried Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Also shut out.

So we walked across to Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Main Street Emporium, Fantasyland, Frontierland, and Tomorrowland – no luck.

The solution?

Purchased two alternative Goofy hats.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

The world-famous Disney Point

To this day, i do not point with one finger. Not even in Glacier National Park.

The world-famous Disney Point.

It’s a thing.

Every Disney Cast Member learns it on day one in Disney Traditions, our version of borietantion (boring orientation).

Why?

It’s our fanatical attention to the smallest details.

This is an example of what i’m talking about at my new Podcast, If Disney Ran Your Life, on iTunes, Stitcher Radio, and Tune-In Radio.

What we do is very serious business, but we should never take ourselves too seriously.

On it.

Episode 3 prep notes

World record blogger application
Cheryl sent me the link yesterday. i checked it out and registered. There’s a chance i may be a world-record holder. There’s a chance i’m not. Only one way to find out.

Episode 3 prep notes – If Disney Ran Your Life podcast with jeff noel…this post is for my brainstorm notes…enjoy the backstage peek.

First, for context, here are the first two episodes.

Episode 1 – Welcome, intro, who is jeff, what does he do, what can we expect? Sound quality was subpar from technical issues and i opted to use Air Pods to record so we wouldn’t jeopardize missing the launch on January 25, 2019. The editor lives on the other side of our planet and needs a minimum of two weeks lead time to finish.

Episode 2 – my episode-topic goal was continuous improvement and risk-taking…quickly, at Jody’s suggestion, we morphed that on the fly, to focus on using dates as part of your story…operationalize personal (and organizational) culture.

•  •  •  •  •

Ok, what follows is a stream of creative ideas for episode 3 which we record tomorrow (Jan 28):

  • Begin episodes with recap from last episode.
  • End each episode with what to expect on next episode.
  • Midway (or whatever time makes best sense) thru episode tell a 90-sec (or whatever time makes sense) Disney Story, tied to episode content, but unique, fascinating, unusual, etc
  •  Create a decently defined beginning, middle, and end
  • Add a conflict at the right moment (which could vary from episode to episode, and which could also be shared at the very beginning) in the episode and use a Disney Business insight
  • End with a 72-hour challenge to do something great with what they’ve heard
  • Have Jody ask me, “Is there anything from last week’s episode i want to clarify, add to, or build on?” (or the equivalent of something like this)
  • Reveal four(?) personal examples of how i applied the episode Disney insight into my personal life
  • Reiterate my need to adjust from talking to a business audience about Disney business insights to talking about the personal application…i still have the habit to talk organizationally when i really mean personally
