Disney's recent financial successes, driven by strategic decisions and successful film releases, are overshadowed by leadership challenges and concerns about the company's future direction under Bob Iger. 00:00 Disney's Q4 2024 earnings showed a 6% revenue increase to $22.6 billion, driven by successful film releases, despite skepticism over Bob Iger's comments on streaming. 02:23 Disney Parks hit record Q4 revenue, but rising prices and competition from Universal's Epic Universe could hurt attendance and vacation choices. 04:33 Bob Iger is praised for Disney's turnaround, especially in movie performance, despite ongoing challenges at Pixar regarding working conditions and management priorities. 07:07 Iger faces criticism for turning Disney into an IP farm, with recent successes credited to the creative team rather than his leadership. 09:01 Bob Iger's return to Disney has been marked by controversial decisions and mismanagement, particularly regarding the transformation of Moana 2 and ongoing corporate battles influenced by Nelson Peltz. 13:22 Bob Iger's controversial decisions, including pricing changes and a failed legal battle, have led to significant challenges for Disney Parks this quarter, despite some praise for his overall leadership. 16:07 Iger's leadership has transformed Disney parks with a focus on IP integration and higher costs, but the recent performance boost is seen as customer gouging, indicating a need for new CEO to tackle persistent challenges. 17:53 Concerns about Disney's future arise from leadership changes, a potential focus on video games, and the need for a creative co-CEO alongside Bob Iger, whose stock sale suggests waning confidence in the company's direction. Disney's pricing strategy and treatment of disabled guests have been criticized, with the Lightning Lane system being used to upcharge disabled visitors instead of offering the DAS pass. Bob Iger's return led to the elimination of the free park pass and introduction of expensive upcharge options like the $500 per person per day "Park Hopper" package. Iger took credit for Disney's creative successes, but was responsible for staff cuts and gutting Pixar, while many creative decisions were made under Bob Chapek's leadership. Iger's personal interests in AI and Canva led to the creation of a new division, despite concerns about his lack of creativity and vision for the company's future. ESPN+ will be consolidated under Disney+ in the future, similar to how Hulu was merged into Disney+. Iger's return to Disney in 2022 was seen as a victory lap, with media praise despite taking credit for Chapek's decisions. Bob Iger overspent on Fox, putting Disney in a perilous position, and made unpopular decisions like removing Rivers of America at Disneyland. Iger's marching orders led to significant price increases and the elimination of free park passes, despite being gone for only two years. Iger prioritized his own ego, worrying about losing the best tables and kissing up to executives rather than focusing on Disney's success. Iger's lack of creative vision and tendency to micromanage led to Disney's current state, despite his ability to negotiate deals. Disney's Q4 2024 earnings showed a 30-39% increase in revenue to $22.6B, with net income doubling to $460M, marking one of their biggest quarterly upswings.

En el episodio de hoy, Eugenio Garibay y Miguel Muñoz discuten los últimos resultados de los índices de precios al productor (PPI), que marcan pauta sobre cómo podrían estar los precios de los productos en el futuro. También analizan la reciente historia de Disney, enfocándose en los desafíos de liderazgo durante la era de Bob Chapek y la transformación bajo Bob Iger, así como el impacto del contenido en los ingresos y la recuperación financiera de la compañía.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a park executive named Bob Chapek set out on a mission to create an immersive experience that Star Wars fans would never forget. The luxury Disney hotel would feature a two-day role playing adventure, fun foods, funner games, and unique memories they would cherish forever. But the exorbitant cost, embarrassing technical glitches, and a little thing called Covid, sent The Galactic Starcruiser spiraling into a black hole. In the end the dream was lost, and fans were left to wonder, wtf was up with that blue shrimp?Moshe Kasher (The Endless Honeymoon) and Jessi Cruickshank (Phone a Friend) join Misha to compare their limited edition lightsabers and take a journey to The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.Follow The Big Flop on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.

De beurswaarde moet verdubbelen! Dat is het doel van de nieuwe topman van Prosus, die nu 100 dagen erop heeft zitten bij de tech-investeerder. Hij is ervan overtuigd dat er meer in het vat zit voor zijn bedrijf. Prosus is nu zo'n 100 miljard dollar waard, maar daar kan volgens hem makkelijk nog eens hetzelfde bedrag bijkomen. Door een nieuwe bestuursvorm en met verschillende bedrijven die staan te popelen om naar de beurs te gaan, denkt hij dat nogal ambitieuze doel waar te kunnen maken. In deze aflevering hoor je op welke termijn de dromen van Prosus waarheid kunnen worden. En we hebben het ook over de termijn van een andere topman. Bob Iger, de man die speciaal uit zijn pensioen terugkeerde om Disney te redden heeft eindelijk een stip aan de horizon. Begin 2026 moet er een opvolger voor hem gekozen zijn. Het grootste mediabedrijf ter wereld heeft vier kandidaten op het oog, en we zoeken uit wie van de vier het beste in de functie-omschrijving past. En bij Boeing kan de nieuwe topman zijn eerste overwinning in potlood noteren. Het einde van de stakingen bij de vliegtuigbouwer lijkt in zicht. Boeing kwam met een nieuw loonbod, en de vakbonden zien dat bod wel zitten. Het enige obstakel dat overblijft is het personeel zelf, dat stemt woensdag over het akkoord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The New York Times dropped a tell-all bombshell on the Walt Disney Company's behind-the-scenes drama, and it makes Bob Iger look like a whiny, petulant control freak. The article, supposedly corroborated by several Disney insiders, paints a very negative picture of Bob Iger, who set Bob Chapek up for failure and led to some DIRE consequences for the Walt Disney Company, such as the loss of Reedy Creek and a board battle with Nelson Peltz.

L'ambition est affichée, reste à voir dans quelques années si tous ces projets prometteurs seront à la hauteur. Merci pour votre écoute!

When Charles Gasparino set out to report on Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, he had no idea he was about to uncover a much larger story: the radical transformation of American business. Gasparino, a veteran financial journalist at Fox Business, initially focused on the bank's poor risk management. But he soon stumbled upon something more troublesome—an unhealthy fixation on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies.  This misplaced focus, Gasparino argues, played a significant role in the bank's ultimate demise. As he dug deeper, a troubling pattern emerged. Silicon Valley Bank wasn't an isolated case—it was just the beginning. From Disney's controversial policies under Bob Chapek to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's aggressive push for ESG standards, Gasparino found that wokeness had infiltrated boardrooms across America. Gasparino traced this trend back to the summer of 2020, when corporations reacted strongly to the George Floyd protests, exemplified by J.P. Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, famously taking a knee. Through extensive interviews and research, Gasparino documented how corporations eagerly embraced woke idea, only to face harsh financial realities. His new book "Go Woke, Go Broke: The Inside Story of the Radicalization of Corporate America" offers a stark warning to CEOs who might be tempted to follow this path. On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Gasparino explains that when businesses stray from their core mission—maximizing shareholder value—it's a losing proposition. Listen as we explore how woke ideology reshaped corporate America and what can be done about it. Enjoy the show!

This Day in Legal History: National Security Act of 1947On July 25, 1947, Congress passed the National Security Act of 1947, a landmark legislation that restructured the United States' military and intelligence operations in the post-World War II era. This pivotal act established the National Security Council (NSC), which would advise the President on security matters, and created the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to gather and analyze foreign intelligence. The Act also led to the formation of the Department of Defense, unifying the previously separate Department of War and Department of the Navy, and creating the National Military Establishment. This new establishment comprised three separate departments: the Army, the Navy, and the newly-formed United States Air Force. Additionally, the Joint Chiefs of Staff were established to ensure coordinated military strategy among the services. The National Security Act of 1947 fundamentally reshaped the U.S. defense and intelligence framework, reflecting the changing nature of global threats and the need for a cohesive national security strategy in the early Cold War period. This legislation laid the foundation for the modern American military and intelligence community, shaping U.S. defense policy for decades to come.Walt Disney Co. must face a lawsuit backed by Elon Musk over the firing of Gina Carano, a former star of “The Mandalorian.” A federal judge in Los Angeles, Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, ruled against Disney's motion to dismiss the case, stating that Disney did not prove that employing Carano was an act of First Amendment-protected expressive association. The judge noted that Disney had not shown evidence that it hires actors to promote values like respect, decency, integrity, or inclusion.The case will explore California's protections for employees' political activities outside of work. Carano, a former mixed martial artist, argues she was dismissed due to her political views, which clashed with the show's audience on social media. The incident that led to her firing was a February 2021 Instagram post comparing the treatment of Trump supporters to that of Jews during the Holocaust. Carano claims her male co-stars were not disciplined for their liberal-leaning posts, even when they also referenced the Holocaust. Strained logic, but we live in a time of strained logic.Judge Garnett found that Carano sufficiently alleged her firing could have been to deflect criticism from Disney's business practices and reorganization under former CEO Bob Chapek. Schaer Jaffe LLP represents Carano, while O'Melveny and Myers LLP represents Disney, Lucasfilm, and Huckleberry Industries. The case is Carano v. Walt Disney, C.D. Cal., No. 24-cv-1009, 7/24/24.Disney Must Fight Musk-Backed ‘Mandalorian' Actor Firing SuitThe U.S. Senate is set to vote on two online safety bills targeting the protection of children and teens on social media. Scheduled for Thursday, these bills have garnered broad bipartisan support and are expected to pass. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer emphasized the importance of updating safety measures to address current online threats to children.The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) aims to mandate social media platforms to offer minors options to safeguard their information and deactivate addictive features by default. It also imposes a legal duty on companies to mitigate risks such as suicide and disordered eating among minors.The Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA 2.0) proposes a ban on targeted advertising to minors and data collection without their consent. It also allows parents and children to delete their information from social media platforms.These bills represent the first significant legislative efforts to ensure online safety for children since the original COPPA was enacted in 1998. Tech companies like Microsoft and Snap have shown support for these initiatives, while Meta Platforms suggested that federal law should require app stores to seek parental approval for downloads by users under 16.US Senate set to vote on two child online safety bills | ReutersBoeing has finalized a guilty plea to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge and will pay at least $243.6 million for breaching a 2021 agreement with the U.S. Justice Department. This breach involved allowing potentially risky work at its factories and not ensuring accurate or complete airplane record keeping. Boeing admitted to conspiring to defraud the Federal Aviation Administration by making false representations about key software for the 737 MAX.The Justice Department found Boeing violated the deferred prosecution agreement after a January in-flight panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX exposed ongoing safety and quality issues. Additionally, Boeing disclosed false stamping at its 787 plant in South Carolina, leading to further investigations. The company also failed to ensure proper sequence in airplane manufacturing, increasing the risk of defects.By way of very brief background, "false stamping" refers to the practice of improperly marking or certifying parts or components as meeting required safety and quality standards when they do not. This fraudulent activity can involve the use of counterfeit certification stamps or documentation to falsely indicate that a part has passed necessary inspections and tests. Such actions undermine the integrity of the aircraft manufacturing process, potentially compromising the safety and reliability of the airplanes.Boeing agreed to pay a maximum fine of $487.2 million, with a credit for its previous $243.6 million payment, and will spend at least $455 million over the next three years to enhance safety and compliance programs. An independent monitor will oversee Boeing's compliance, with annual progress reports made public. Families of the 737 MAX crash victims can file objections before Judge Reed O'Connor, who will decide on accepting the deal and potential restitution. Boeing's board must also meet with the victims' families within four months of sentencing.Boeing finalizes 737 MAX guilty plea deal, US outlines reasons | ReutersUnited States v. The Boeing Company (4:21-cr-00005)The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is set to implement updates to its health data breach notification rule on July 29, which could lead to increased litigation for companies providing health-related services through mobile apps. These amendments, finalized in April, extend the rule's coverage to companies that aggregate health information from multiple sources, which are not currently governed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).The rule mandates that businesses must notify affected individuals and the FTC within 60 days of discovering a breach affecting 500 or more people. Non-compliance could result in civil penalties of up to $51,744 per violation. The FTC's amendments broaden the rule's scope, potentially transforming it from a data security breach rule to a consent requirement for sharing health data.Legal experts have raised concerns about the FTC's lack of a precise definition for "authorized access," which could complicate compliance and lead to fines and litigation. Despite stakeholders' requests for clearer guidelines, the FTC only stated that unauthorized disclosures might include the sharing or selling of consumer information inconsistent with a company's stated policies.The expanded rule could cover around 170,000 additional entities, though industry groups believe this number may be higher. Many of these entities might need to develop robust notification programs, as the new requirements mark unfamiliar territory for some.The updated rule could also increase lawsuits against healthcare-related businesses for exposing user data to third-party advertisers. For example, enforcement actions against GoodRx and Easy Healthcare Corp. cited breaches due to sharing health information with advertisers via pixel tracking technology.The FTC's broad interpretation of "unauthorized access" has significant implications. If a company's privacy policy is not sufficiently descriptive regarding data collection and sharing, the FTC may consider it an unauthorized disclosure. This aggressive stance by the FTC necessitates careful attention from industry players.The rule also raises questions about who is responsible for reporting breaches concerning personal health records (PHR). Companies might struggle to determine whether they are acting as downstream service providers or PHR-related entities, complicating their compliance obligations.FTC Health Breach Rule's New Updates May Spur More Litigation This is a public episode.

Met nog een week te gaan tot de aandeelhoudersvergadering is de strijd in volle gang. Disney is 'te woke', zeggen activistische aandeelhouders, en daar moet verandering in komen. Daarom sprokkelen ze zieltjes onder andere investeerders om dat gedachtegoed in het bestuur te krijgen. Topman Bob Iger heeft een duidelijke koers voor ogen, en wil niks van die activisten weten. Maar zijn de activisten de held die je aandeel komt redden, of boren ze het als een slechterik de grond in? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder gaat het over Adyen. Analisten van Morgan Stanley denken dat de betalingsverwerker het nu wél bij het rechte eind heeft. Het bedrijf is de hardste stijger van de AEX dit jaar, en volgens die analisten is de piek nog ver weg. Het bedrijf kan tot zeker 2028 flink blijven doorgroeien, denken ze. Maar bij de koersval afgelopen zomer sprongen beleggers ook massaal op het aandeel, en we weten hoe dat eindigde. Herhaalt de geschiedenis zich? En demissionair premier Rutte is op bezoek in China, om te praten met president Xi Jinping. Volgens Rutte gaan die gesprekken over de handelsrelaties en de geopolitiek, maar Xi wil het vooral hebben over één belangrijk bedrijf: ASML. China is niet blij met de Nederlandse exportrestricties op chipmachines, en waarschuwt voor de mogelijk gevaarlijke effecten.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Disney heiress Abigail Disney needs to pick a lane. After spending YEARS trashing Bob Iger, the current Walt Disney Company and even Walt Disney herself, she's now saying that Bob Iger and the current board are the BEST choice for Disney going forward. Say what?! ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc Additional Context: In the swirling vortex of corporate drama and public commentary, Abigail Disney, an heiress to the Disney throne (not that there's an actual throne, but let's be real, it might as well be), has spun a narrative that could rival the plot twists of the most intricate Disney movie. For years, she's been the outspoken critic not just of Bob Iger, the once and current CEO of The Walt Disney Company, but also of the company's practices and, astonishingly, Walt Disney himself. Imagine that, critiquing the very fountain from which the magic flows! But here's where the plot thickens and takes a turn for the unexpected—like finding out that the villain was actually your ally all along. After years of casting Bob Iger and the company's board in the shade of the villain, Abigail Disney has done an about-face, declaring that Iger and the current board are, in fact, the best option for Disney's future. It's the kind of twist that makes you spit out your popcorn and wonder if you missed a scene. So, what's behind this dramatic change of heart? Has Abigail Disney seen the light, like Scrooge waking up on Christmas morning? Or is there a calculated strategy behind her newfound praise? Let's dive in. Bob Iger, who initially served as CEO from 2005 to 2020, returned to the helm in November 2022, after his successor, Bob Chapek's tumultuous tenure. Iger's return was like the return of the king, heralded as a move that would stabilize the kingdom of Disney after a period of unrest. Under Iger's previous reign, Disney saw unprecedented growth with the acquisition of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox, transforming it into the entertainment behemoth it is today. Abigail Disney's criticisms have often focused on issues of income inequality within the company and the need for Disney to return to its values of creativity and innovation over sheer profit. Her critiques were not just aimed at Iger but at the broader corporate culture that she perceived as straying from the company's original path. So, why the sudden endorsement? It might be that in the grand scheme of things, Abigail Disney sees Bob Iger as the lesser of the evils, a seasoned captain who can steer the Disney ship through choppy waters. Or perhaps, it's a recognition that the company, under its current board, has made strides towards addressing some of the issues she's passionately spoken out against. Whatever the case, Abigail Disney's shift from critic to advocate underscores the complex dynamics at play within one of the most beloved entertainment companies in the world. It's a reminder that in the world of corporate fairy tales, the story is always more nuanced than good vs. evil, hero vs. villain. And as for Disney's next chapters under Bob Iger's leadership? Well, that remains to be seen, but it's sure to be a ride worth watching. Grab your popcorn, folks; the Disney saga continues.

Today, we need to talk about Bob. Two Bobs, actually: Bob Iger, the former and now current CEO of Disney, and Bob Chapek, the man Iger handpicked as his replacement, who flamed out and was fired by the board, and then, on November 20th, was replaced by Bob Iger. Bobs, man. The heart of this whole thing is total Decoder bait. It's a story about how to structure a company like Disney. Then you add in the complexity of the shift to streaming, the future of TV and movies generally, and the gigantic reputation of a character like Bob Iger, who many people think could plausibly run for president. There's just a lot going on here. Whenever I need to talk Disney, media, and Bobs, I call one person: Julia Alexander, director of strategy at Parrot Analytics and a former reporter at The Verge. Julia pays a lot of attention to the streaming giants, she's sourced inside all the companies battling for our attention, and she has a lot to say about the Bobs.
