Knowledge is more than information. It's influence, credibility, and trust. In this episode, Lee Cockerell, retired Executive VP of Walt Disney World, explores how learning shapes leadership in high-pressure environments, why everyone needs to feel valued, and how reputation is built through intentional actions.

Knowledge doesn't just make you smarter. It makes you steadier, braver, and more useful to the people around you.

And that's the kind of currency that never loses value.
