On the show, Rick is going to go back and pull from past conversations with authors of successful books. Rick will talk with Phil Gramlich, who put together a collection of stories for “Walt and His Park: The Stories You (Probably) Never Heard”; Ethan Gallogly, who used his time hiking the John Muir Trail as inspiration for his book “The Trail: A Novel”; and the husband-and-wife team of Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer, who wrote “Disneyland on The Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists; and the Ski Resort That Never Was.”
When you hear the word “perfectionist”, what comes to mind? Maybe you think of yourself?Typically, it's someone who holds themselves to impossibly and unachievably high standards, driven by fear of real or imagined consequences if they don't get it (whatever “it” is) exactly right. Because perfect is rarely possible, they never “measure up,” and they get discouraged and burn out. They've given away all their f**ks and feel like they never got any results or recognition for all their work, so they stop caring altogether.To say the least, that makes them unproductive – which is exactly what Kathryn Mayer is here to change.Kathryn was raised by a father who was a neurologist and a professor who taught her that your identity comes from the work you do and a homemaker mother who passed on perfectionism – that you have to work hard and if you're going to do something, you must do it well or not at all.As a child, Kathryn tried ballet and wasn't good at it, then gymnastics which didn't work out because she was too tall. Then she discovered tennis, which she enjoyed and showed real aptitude for. So, her mother put Kathryn in private lessons and then, because they were spending money on the lessons, she had to compete in tournaments.Until she was 14, she did well in singles tournaments due to her height advantage over opponents her age, but then the other girls caught up in height. So, she switched to doubles, which she was also good at, but she lost her joy for tennis and quit. When Kathryn went to college, she was Dean's List level, but she graduated with no idea what to do as a career! So she hired a career coach, which began a three-year process of discovery that included mapping out a forty (yes, four-oh) year plan. Meanwhile, she went through five careers by the time she was 26 before landing what she thought would be her dream job in New York City.The following years would see her try more careers, plus take a biking vacation with her husband to Cambodia. It was that trip where it struck her that it was actually okay if she rode in the van instead of fighting to ride her bike over the bad roads. It was okay to not do the thing she thought she was “supposed” to do. Back home, she was “shoulding” all over herself, her career, and her life – which reminds me of the conversation back in episode 2 with Dara Goldberg where we talked about “shedding the shoulds.” Finally, she had a boss who told her to lighten up because she was constantly frustrated. When his message didn't get through, he pulled her aside and asked her a curious question: “Why don't you try going to clown school?”In a moment, when you meet Kathryn, you'll see how all these threads came together and inspired her to mesh productivity with perfectionism. If you feel like you're just not hacking it, this show is for you.Kathryn's hype song is “I'm Coming Out” by Diana Ross.Resources:Kathyrn Mayer's website: https://www.kcmayer.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryncmayer/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KCMConsulting/ X (formerly Twitter): https://x.com/GrandSlamCoach Claim your copy of “The Productive Perfectionist:
Many are familiar with Disney's theme parks, cruise ships, resorts, and broader media empire, but did you know Disney tried to build a ski resort in Mineral King, California in the 1960s? Courtney and Emily are joined by authors Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer to discuss how this resort never broke ground despite over a decade of planning. Their book, “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort that Never Was”, does a deep dive into this niche piece of Disney history that is often overshadowed by the simultaneous planning and opening of the Walt Disney World Resort. However, despite Mineral King's unbuilt legacy, its roots can still be found in the theme parks and resorts around the world. Follow Our Reading Journey On Social Media!

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with the co-author of “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was”, Kathryn Mayer. Kathryn's book shares a lot of information about Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort. Mineral King Ski Resort was a dream project of Walt Disney's taking place between the creations of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Walt wanted to reinvent the way the public enjoyed a ski resort. Like so many other dreams of Walt's, his visions were ahead of his time. This project never came to be due to many battles between The Walt Disney Company and environmentalists. But quite a few of the ideas, concepts and projects related to the ski resort ended up in other Disney projects.

When you think about projects from Disney history that never happened, Mineral King is one of the most interesting examples. The concepts for this California ski resort were a serious dream for Walt Disney in the 1960s. Those plans ultimately led to a conflict with environmentalists in the Sierra Club who had concerns with developing the pristine land.… Read more... The post 216.

Over the decades The Walt Disney Company has embarked on many projects that never came to fruition. One of those famous endeavors that has rarely been explored in as much depth is Disney's intent to build a ski resort in the Mineral King Valley in the 1960s and 1970s. On this episode of Notably Disney host Brett Nachman speaks with journalists and writers Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer. Glasgow and Mayer are authors of the new book Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, published by Rowman and Littlefield.

We were joined on Thursday's show by Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer, co-authors of the new book, “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists and the Ski Resort That Never Was”. It was going to be Disneyland on the mountain but there was one major obstacle to Walt Disney's dream and that was the growing environmental movement of the 1960's.
It was going to be Disneyland at the top of a mountain. A vacation destination where guests could ski, go ice skating, or be entertained by a Disney Imagineer-created band of Audio-Animatronic bears. In the summer, visitors could fish, camp, hike, or take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of a mountain. It was the Mineral King resort in Southern California, and it was Walt Disney's final passion project. But there was one major obstacle to Walt's dream: the growing environmentalist movement of the 1960s. Tune in as we talk with Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer about their new book, Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was, where they will provide an unprecedented look inside the Mineral King saga, from its origins at the 1960 Winter Olympics to the years-long environmental fight that eventually shut the development down. The fight, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, reshaped the environmental movement and helped to put in place long-reaching laws to protect nature. Although the court battle, coupled with Walt's death in 1966, meant the end for the Mineral King resort, the ideas and planning behind it have permeated throughout the Walt Disney company and the ski tourism industry in ways that are still seen today.

Although the court battle, coupled with Walt's death in 1966, meant the end for the Mineral King resort, the ideas and planning behind it permeated throughout the Walt Disney company and the ski tourism industry in ways that are still seen today.
A fascinating look at Walt Disney's last, unfinished project and the controversy that surrounded it. It was going to be Disneyland at the top of a mountain-a vacation destination where guests could ski, go ice skating, or be entertained by a Disney Imagineer-created band of Audio-Animatronic bears. In the summer, visitors could fish, camp, hike, or take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of a mountain. It was the Mineral King resort in Southern California, and it was Walt Disney's final passion project. But there was one major obstacle to Walt's dream: the growing environmentalist movement of the 1960s.

It's a tale of man versus nature, ambition versus mortality, and how a gang of scrappy environmentalists took on one of America's most beloved companies-and won.

This week on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast: A fascinating true story about a true genius that will forever be intertwined as a remarkable human being in the entire world's eyes. It's the true story of what would turn out to be Walt Disney's final passion project: A Disney-themed ski resort on top of a Southern California mountain, complete with a ski lift, sleigh rides, dogsledding, ice-skating, and tobogganing--not to mention a band of Disney Imagineer-created Audio-Animatronic bears. It sounds utterly harmless but it became totally controversial. Local residents tried to stop it from being built out of concern for the land and the (real) animals that inhabited it. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court and basically birthed the environmental movement in America. Health failing, Walt Disney soldiered on with his dream. But it was one that would never be realized--not before or after his death. Join us as our husband-and-wife author team describe a fascinating tale that took years of research and study to write.
