What can we learn about leadership from the Happiest Place on Earth? 

The first time Jeff Barnes visited Disneyland, he hated it. The experience just wasn’t for him, and he couldn’t imagine coming back to ride a ride or have an ice cream cone on Main Street.

But after a chance encounter with the life story of Walt Disney, Jeff’s mind was forever changed about the man and the kingdom he created. He fell in love with Disneyland and became a forever-fan of the man who built an empire based on a loveable mouse.

In this episode, William interviews Jeffrey Barnes, a Walt Disney historian and the author of two bestselling books, The Wisdom of Walt and Life Lessons from Walt, each capturing the details of this entertainment legend’s life and the lessons his successes and failures can teach us all.

A motivational speaker and workshop presenter, Jeff channels his love for Disney into engaging live and virtual experience for audiences, helping them learn life’s greatest lessons and discover the foundation of the magical destinations that are loved around the world.

When he’s not giving a personal tour of a Disney park, you’ll find Jeff exploring local ice cream shops or traveling throughout the United States visiting friends.

Sign up for Jeff's weekly emails at https://thewisdomofwalt.com/, and discover the insights he's written about in his books (links at the same site).

Jerry Macnamara often says "success without fulfillment is the greatest business ripoff." Why does he say that, and why is the leadership gap the greatest threat to what and who you lead?

Jerry Macnamara has successfully led award-winning companies in multiple industries: retail, manufacturing, internet, construction and business services. He’s sold products, he’s sold services, and over the last 25 years, he’s grown companies in B2B and B2C.

He says, The product doesn’t matter. The service doesn’t matter. The industry doesn’t matter. The channel doesn’t matter. Business is widgets. (PS – Your business is NOT different.) The only thing that matters is your approach.
