Chats with Jason

What if your customers never forgot how you made them feel?

In this powerful episode of Chats with Jason, former Disney executive Dennis Snow reveals how world-class experiences aren’t built with fairy dust—but with systems, mindset, and mission. From the legendary Disney onboarding process to the simple yet profound principle of treating every guest with respect, Dennis pulls back the curtain on what truly makes service unforgettable.

💡 Whether you're a startup founder or Fortune 500 leader, you’ll discover:

• The 3 things every customer craves (and few companies consistently deliver)
• Why onboarding isn’t just HR—it’s identity engineering
• How small gestures (like a balloon “report card”) create lifelong brand advocates
• The question every leader must ask to unlock their team's hidden magic
• Why customer-first is more than a slogan—it’s a cultural commitment

And yes, he even shares how to explain customer experience… to a 7-year-old.

🔥 Key Insight: “The experience is what makes us unique. And when we create unique experiences—we can change the world.”

🎯 Call to Action: If you’re ready to build a business people love to talk about, hit subscribe, share this episode with a service-minded leader, and leave a review. Because when you transform the experience, you transform your business and the world around you.

All Business Is Personal: How Human Connection Wins in the Age of AI | Joseph Michelli on Customer Experience Mastery

✨ What if the real secret to business success isn’t more technology... but more humanity?

In this powerful episode of Chats with Jason, I sit down with world-renowned author, speaker, and human-centered leadership expert Dr. Joseph Michelli.

We dive deep into why unforgettable customer experiences aren't created by accident — they’re crafted intentionally through care, connection, and curiosity.

🚀 You'll learn:

• Why "customer service" is dead — and how "customer experience" truly transforms brands.
• Joseph’s personal story of early failure (and what it taught him about listening first).
• The #1 shift legendary brands like Starbucks, Zappos, and Ritz-Carlton made to win lifelong loyalty.
• How to balance technology and humanity in the Age of AI.
• The small leadership change you can make TODAY that will dramatically impact your customer and employee experience.

🎯 Key Takeaway:

Personalization is not the same as being personal. In a world of automation, real human connection is your unfair advantage.

💬 Favorite Quote:

"AI can give you personalization — but it takes people to make it personal." — Joseph Michelli

🔥 Plus, Joseph shares behind-the-scenes insights from his newest book:

"All Business Is Personal: One Medical's Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Approach to Customer Engagement" — including how One Medical became so successful Amazon bought them for $4 billion.

👀 If you care about leadership, customer loyalty, or building a brand people love — this is a must-watch.
