This is PART 2 of our conversation with Derric Johnson. As a Pastor, musician, and composer, he defines a new standard for dreaming big and has the stories and resume to back it up. As the founder of The Re'Generation, one of the most successful traveling groups in Christian Music history, and over 30 years as a creative consultant with Disney, his insights are fascinating. 

As the interview was drawing to a close, the mics were shut off, and thank-yous exchanged. We asked him one more question about Christmas at Disney. As he began to tell the story, we turned the mics back on, and we think you'll be glad we did. 

Oh, by the way... Did we mention he's 92 years old?
