In this episode, Jason dives deep into a pivotal moment in Walt Disney's career that changed his legacy. Sponsored by PitchCapital.com, the episode highlights the betrayal by Disney's distributor, Charles Mince, which led Disney to lose his character 'Oswald the Lucky Rabbit' and most of his team. This betrayal served as a blueprint for Disney's emphasis on control and ownership, teaching vital lessons about building partnerships, setting boundaries, and managing control without micromanaging. The episode concludes with a challenge for listeners to identify and resolve unclear control boundaries in their own partnerships and relationships, while also considering the costs associated with seeking control. 00:00 Introduction and Host Background02:00 Walt Disney's Betrayal and Lessons Learned04:38 The Spark That Changed Everything07:39 The Saturday Morning Massacre10:38 The Train Ride That Changed Everything16:12 The Partner Who Saved Him18:16 The $8,300 House That Would Kill His Mother21:03 The Strike That Broke Him23:49 Disneyland: The Final Act24:08 Lessons on Control and Betrayal
