Welcome back to part II of my interview with Caitlin Busscher. In the second half of our conversation, Caitlin shares more about the Disney Ambassador Program, the tech startup she went to work for, and what she’s doing now. Listen in to hear the conclusion of this wonderful discussion.

We start off with the Disney Ambassador Program and all that it entails. I was interested to learn that the program is extremely variable. Disney Ambassadors quite literally handle exactly what needs to be handled at any given moment. 

For Caitlin that looked like having meetings with staff and boosting morale and speaking with the press about upcoming park attractions and events. Ambassadors now may have a completely different role from even that. 

Caitlin credits the skills she learned as an ambassador for her later successes in her career. One of her favorite things is effective communication and she honed those skills at Disney. 

Listen as she shares more about her current role and her advice for young people everywhere. She has had an amazing career filled with wonderful adventures and she’s sharing exactly how she’s done it!
