On the last episode, John Saccheri joined the show to talk about building a brand based on your personality.  Now, John returns to ask me three questions.  What did you do before you do what you do now? Financial Analyst. I measured interest rate risk for a commercial bank. This job was as exciting as it sounds. But it did give me a strong background in numbers, which serves me well today.  Park Ranger. Becoming a park ranger was the fulfillment of a boyhood dream. I would not be who I am today without having been a park ranger. Marketing Manager. This job was the catalyst for launching my own business to help businesses with marketing.  John asking this question reminds me, your background is not as important as you think it is. People are concerned with what you are doing now and what direction you are heading. Your background is not as important as you fear. Or as important as you hope, depending on how you look at it.   Don't let your background get in your way.  When was the last time Lee Cockerell surprised me with something he said on Creating Disney Magic? Although I do know what direction each episode of Creating Disney Magic will go, every once in a while I am surprised. As an example, we did an episode where we talked about people who get by doing as little as possible while they wait for retirement to arrive. Lee's opinion on the topic was stronger than I expected it would be. You can listen to that episode here.  How important is family? This could either be the easiest or hardest questions anyone has asked. Easy because my family is the most important thing in my life. Hard because how do I explain it? Well, I do my best on the episode to explain what family means to me.

John Saccheri has built a brand based on the power of his personality. John, also known as Big Fat Panda, has created a YouTube channel based on weaving his personality into his love for Disney. The creation of the Big Fat Panda brand is a story of love and hard work. What began as John creating videos to show his experience at Disney, has led to getting added to the Disney media list. Now, John can be found at all of the Disney events, invited by Disney because Big Fat Panda has become an influential brand. John was just being himself when Disney noticed him and the work he was doing. This is an important lesson for anyone trying to build a personal brand. Be yourself. Your personality is the best thing you can bring to any of the work you do. John advises us to put more of yourself into your videos, blogs, or podcasts. If you are working on something you love, you are more likely to infuse more of your personality and opinion into the work.  John on Facebook - Big Fat Panda John on Twitter - @BigFatPandaShow  John on YouTube - Big Fat Panda Show

In this episode of Keep Moving Forward I interview Disney entrepreneur and YouTube sensation, John Saccheri, AKA The Big Fat Panda. If you guys are inspired by the stories that my interviewees and I share with you each week, please consider becoming a patron of my podcast. Of course, all episodes will still be free both on iTunes and at http://keepmovingforward.us/, however, if you would like to support the future success of this podcast, please consider becoming a patron at https://www.patreon.com/keepmovingforward. Thank you so much for your support and for tuning in to this, the 28th episode of the Keep Moving Forward podcast. Chase your passions and the money will come. How many of you have heard this saying before? And how many of you actually heed these words? Taking a step into the unknown to chase a dream that might seem ridiculous to everyone else is a terrifying thought. Leaving behind the security of a stable income and promise of a sustained future, to pursue something that might crash and burn within the year. But what if you chase your dreams, and you become a success? What if the very thing that you are driven by actually becomes the most successful business you’ve ever been a part of? If I’ve learned anything from the interviews with the incredible men and women who’ve turned their Disney dreams into lucrative business ventures, it’s that it really is kind of fun to do the impossible. Taking this quote from Walt Disney himself is fitting, as the Disney entrepreneurs truly follow their hearts and honestly accomplish what the rest of us deem impossible: turning their dreams into successful realities. One such man did just that, and I had the honor of speaking with him for today’s episode. Fueled by a deep admiration for Walt Disney World, a true connection with his family, and a love for entertaining and making others smile, John Saccheri set out on a journey to meld his passions into something wonderful. From working at a travel agency to founding his own Mystery Shopping Company, John knew he was destined for something more. Utilizing his background in acting and lifetime of experience entertaining people, John created TheBigFatPanda.com and became a YouTube sensation. Every month, he releases a video about what is going on in the theme parks in Orlando (with special emphasis on Walt Disney World, of course) and interviews special guests. Inspired by the DreamWorks film Kung Fu Panda, John knew he didn’t want to be just anyone in the world; he didn’t want to be just another Disney guy; he didn’t want to get lost in the mix with all the other pandas out there. John determined that he wanted to be THE Disney guy, and thus became The Big Fat Panda. While never sugar coating the difficulty of starting your own business and what it takes to upkeep his YouTube channel and being The Big Fat Panda, John’s story will no doubt inspire you that you can absolutely succeed with your dreams, so long as you quit talking and begin doing. It was an honor to speak with John today, and I hope that you enjoy my discussion with The Big Fat Panda. If you would like to learn more about John, you can subscribe to his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/thebigfatpanda, and follow him on Instagram and Twitter @BigFatPandaShow.
