Wil Jorgensen started a machine shop at 22 with a $4,000 screw machine he found on Craigslist. He's 26 now, running Evolution CNC in Wenatchee, Washington, with seven people and a pallet automated 5-axis machine that runs close to around the clock. What makes this conversation worth your time isn't the growth curve though. It's how he thinks. Wil and his team wrote a four page manifesto before they made the big bets. Not a business plan, an emotional document about what would make betting their careers on this thing feel worthwhile. Then they bought a Matsuura MAM72 35 with 32 pallets when they had almost no money in the bank, overdrew the account by $4,000 to close it, and gave themselves about 30 days to make it work. It worked. Bookings went from $252,000 in 2024 to $1.1 million in 2025, and they're pushing toward $2 million this year. His advice on automation is blunt. Don't wait until you think you can afford it. The smaller the shop, the more automation you should have. The part that stuck with me most is the promise Wil makes to everyone he hires. He will not be angry. He spent a stretch of his early twenties running on anger and determination, and then decided he didn't have time for it. If one of his guys scraps $25,000 in parts and Wil stays calm, nobody else in the building gets to be angry either. That one decision shapes how the whole shop operates. There's a lot in here about buying machines you can't afford, cutting loose customers who don't pay, and getting out of your own people's way. If you're early in building a shop, or you're still touching everything yourself, this one will land.

Though the seeds were already sown for quality wines in California, the famous Judgement of Paris Tasting in 1976 set the wine world ablaze and created new energy not just in America, but across the world for fine wine production and appreciation. Andrea Robinson MS has developed The Swirled Cup, a TV series that explores how the world changed with the Judgement of Paris as its “tipping point.” She covers areas such as winemaking, hospitality, and wine culture in the evolution of the wine market.

Equity and Momentum (Episode 347) by Moose, Ceaz, Dona, & Joz

I came home from Italy this summer full of clarity. Momentum. Excitement about everythingahead. And then it stopped. Hard. Since mid-June, it's felt foggy. Hard to feel clear. Hard to move with the certainty I had standing in that beauty, in that open, spacious feeling I found there. Today I'm coming from in the fog.

Let's do this! September is an ideal time to reassess, reflect, and recommit to your goals. In this episode, Polly talks about how to disengage from what isn't working and reset your goals to build momentum and energy. How do we do that? It starts with curiosity and intention--and this podcast. For more on how to live well, do good, and be happy, visit Simply Said: https://pollycampbell.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Most artists believe their story is boring — and most artists are wrong. In this episode, Chelsea makes the case that people don't buy henna, they buy the person behind it, and that story is the one differentiator no competitor can copy. She explains why artists can't see their own stories (they're too close to them), breaks down the four ingredients of a story that actually connects, and draws the crucial line between a brand story as a crafted business asset and a diary. The through-line: you don't need a more interesting life — you need to see the one you have clearly and tell it well.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN·  Why people buy the artist, not the henna — and what that means for how you compete·  Why you can't see your own story, and how to borrow outside eyes to find it·  The four ingredients of a story that connects: specificity, honesty, meaning, relevance to them·  The difference between a brand story (crafted asset) and a diary (unfiltered)·  Why you're never obligated to overshare — vulnerability is a strategic choice·  How to become the author of your narrative instead of its accidental subjectRESOURCES & LINKSMentioned in this episode:· ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Momentum — Hennapreneur's membership for henna artists⁠⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠⁠Hennapreneur website⁠⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the Hennapreneur app⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Chelsea:· ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram — @hennapreneur.official⁠⁠⁠⁠· ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook — Hennapreneur⁠⁠If this episode helped you see a story you'd been dismissing, share it with an artist who keeps insisting hers is boring.

879 · Return to Progress City: Imagining Walt Disney's City of TomorrowWhat if the most interesting thing about Walt Disney's Progress City isn't that it was never built, but that it was never really finished?Recorded live at the WDW Radio booth at D23, former Walt Disney Imagineering President Bob Weis and artist, architect, and former Imagineer Eric Robison join me to explore Eric's extraordinary new book, Return to Progress City.What begins with Walt's original vision for EPCOT becomes something much bigger: a conversation about imagination, architecture, storytelling, technology, creativity, and what happens when you give yourself permission to start with a blank page.Eric shares how a pandemic project to paint another 100 Mickeys ended at number 38 when his imagination pulled him back to the Progress City model that had fascinated him since childhood. Bob also reveals something remarkable from Marty Sklar's archives: Marty's original handwritten notes from conversations with Walt about EPCOT and the City of Tomorrow.We explore the wonderfully strange Progress City story Bob and Eric dreamed up over pastrami and martinis, how Imagineers move from rough “chicken scratch” to places filled with story and emotion, why Eric believes something human can disappear when we jump too quickly to the computer, the role of AI in creativity, and why even the most beautiful visual idea still needs a writer and a story.And then Bob hands Eric a blank card and asks him to draw the future, right there at the table.I also share something very personal from D23: the release of my new book, The Disney Interviews: Disney Legends Edition. This new 456-page collection preserves 18 in-depth conversations with Disney Legends including Julie Andrews, Marty Sklar, Richard M. Sherman, Tony Baxter, Alan Menken, Joe Rohde, Bob Gurr, Alice Davis, Don Hahn, Jodi Benson, Paige O'Hara, Dave Smith, and more, along with completely new introductions, stories, context, and artwork, along with completely new introductions, stories, context, and artwork. It is available now in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.If Walt handed you that blank page today, what would you add to Progress City?

"No data, no agent. Bad data, bad agent. Good data, good agent." Cris Mendes thinks data readiness is the number one reason the agentic enterprise fails, and he has the receipts — he ran the experiment on his own team before he sold it to anyone else.He's VP of Revenue at Momentum.io, acquired by Salesforce in large part because of the go-to-market motion he built there. Before that: Drift, Airtable, and LogMeIn. Before all of it, U.S. Navy search and rescue swimmer. I've known him almost twenty years and introduced him to LogMeIn myself, so take the enthusiasm here with whatever salt you need.His argument is that everyone is buying agents on top of a data layer that was never built. The average customer conversation moves about eight thousand words; maybe eight of them make it into the CRM. Companies don't have a first-party data layer, they have a human-input data layer — and that's what every agentic project quietly runs aground on.The story worth the listen: Momentum had a brutal drop-off after the first call. Rather than sampling a few calls and guessing at messaging or ICP, Cris pushed 800 first calls through deep research and got one answer back — the reps weren't prescribing a next step. So he had Momentum listen to the last ten minutes of every call and fire a clip into Slack whenever an AE either didn't prescribe or tried and missed. With humor, so it didn't read as surveillance. Prescription went through the roof. As he puts it: a team respects what you inspect, but you can't inspect everything — unless the inspecting is automated.WHAT WE COVER- Selling shovels in a gold rush, and why structured data was the bet- Why "not everything called an agent is an agent" — deciding vs. automating- The last ten minutes of a sales call as sacred ground, and how to enforce that at scale- Bringing AI into QBRs: "it got so real so fast" — no more recency bias and self-preservation dressed up as a forecast- 10x growth six quarters running, zero attrition, 95% of the team over quota — and why he credits hiring over product- Whether AI cuts headcount: expands capacity, thins middle management, and the ~10% of companies that are actually AI-forward are hiring hardest- Auto-advancing pipeline stages on deal milestones instead of trusting a rep's guess — "otherwise you're just buying something like Clari to miss your forecast very expensively"- His IDEC hiring model, and why he'd trade relevant experience for intrinsics every timeCONNECT WITH CRISLinkedIn: Cris Mendes — Cris with no H, Mendes with an SMomentum.io---The GOATS of Growth has two Founding Sponsor slots open — category exclusive, $1,250/mo, in front of GTM leaders and founders who don't answer their phones.

Rogers also shares why joining Momentum made sense, how managed services and custom network builds are reshaping opportunities, and why the best advisors focus on outcomes instead of products.In this episode:Rogers traces his path from an RCN call center to business services, Cisco certs, network engineering work, and enterprise account management.He shares how an early mentor at Global Communication Networks taught him the agent side of the channel and how that shaped his career.Rogers talks about his military background, including the National Guard, Army service, field artillery, and later time on a sniper team in Afghanistan.Chris and Rogers compare lessons from military service, especially accountability and the mindset of “embrace the suck” when problems hit.They break down the biggest misunderstanding between vendors and trusted advisors: vendors often want direct access, while TAs live on relationships and trust.Rogers explains why every deal is different and why a rinse and repeat SOP approach rarely works across customers, technologies, or sales motions.He shares how his long relationship with Metro Optical, later acquired by Momentum, led to a full-time role after years of already operating like an internal team member.Rogers highlights Momentum's growth into a strong fit for multi-site, rural, international, cloud connectivity, and data center work.They discuss the shift from selling circuits to selling managed services, security, redundancy, and business outcomes.Rogers weighs in on AI's impact on connectivity, especially in data center buildouts, high-capacity transport, and the need for fast, redundant fiber paths.Timestamps: 00:00 - Chris introduces Rogers Clawson and his telecom channel background04:36 - Why college was not the path and how telecom work started05:31 - From billing support to cable modem troubleshooting and business services06:32 - Cisco certs, networking school, and moving into enterprise07:26 - Military background and service in the Army National Guard09:20 - Accountability and the lesson that “I don't know” is never the final answer12:30 - Supplier side versus TA side and where misunderstandings start13:04 - Why vendors and advisors often misread each other's motives14:35 - Every deal is different and why SOPs can fail in the channel16:53 - What made Momentum the right move after years of working together17:53 - How custom solutions and back-office support created trust20:17 - Momentum's sales-driven culture and why that matters21:33 - The opportunity for TAs to expand into managed services23:09 - Why outcomes matter more than products or commission24:31 - Understanding customer business before recommending technology25:13 - Baker mindset versus chef mindset in solution design26:36 - Don't overcomplicate simple deals27:55 - How AI companies are driving network and colo demand28:44 - Why AI data centers care more about capacity than carrier count30:16 - Bandwidth needs are rising, but physical builds matter more than shortages31:31 - Momentum's sweet spot: aggregation, international, and cloud connectivity32:45 - Why hard-to-reach sites and international assets are a major advantage33:43 - Owning local loops and tagging agents to long-term assets35:46 - The ideal agent profile and how Momentum supports both simple and complex deals36:46 - Rogers' favorite work: custom solutions and strategy support37:22 - Final advice: do your homework, build profiles, and use AI as a tool38:22 - Why AI still requires human judgment and explanation Support the showCheck out my website https://thewirelessway.net/ use the contact button to send request and feedback.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    I'm excited to welcome Scott Curran to the show this week. Scott is a social impact lawyer, advisor, educator, founder and CEO of Beyond Advisors and former general counsel of the Clinton Foundation, where he advised a global nonprofit operating in more than 40 countries. His new book, Better Good, asks a deceptively simple question: instead of always trying to do more good, how can we get better at the good we're already doing?    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone looking to create meaningful impact without feeling like they have to do more, give more, or solve everything. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…doing good isn't about doing more, it's about doing better. Scott shares how small, intentional actions can create meaningful impact, why businesses benefit from aligning with their values, and how each of us can focus our time and energy where we can make the biggest difference.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Small actions can create meaningful collective impact. Doing good can be good for business, too. Your "not-to-do" list matters as much as your to-do list. Focus your time on what aligns with your strengths and values. Momentum grows when people take action together.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Scott's reminder that we don't need more money, time, or influence to make a difference. Sometimes, doing better simply starts with being more intentional about how we use what we already have   Running Time: 25:51   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Scott Online: LinkedIn Website   Scott's Book:  Better Good: A Simple System for Creating Lasting Impact

Katie Hannah printed out the rejection email and brought it to the interview. "After careful consideration, our board of reviewers has determined that your application does not make the case for membership at this time."Most fundraisers file that away and move on. The Director of Development at Momentum Leaders sent one open-ended question instead — and it turned into a $223,000 yes for a leadership nonprofit in Birmingham, Alabama.

What if the decision you're afraid to make is exactly what you need to move forward?In this episode of Business Your Way, I get real about decision-making:- why we stall- what it costs us when we do- why making a move (even an imperfect one) will always teach you more than staying stuck ever willIn this episode, I share a candid story from my own business: how I found myself in a full-blown existential crisis earlier this year. And what happened after...Decisions create momentum. Momentum creates learning. And learning gets you where you're actually trying to go — faster than playing it safe ever will.This episode's short, punchy, and was recorded completely unplanned.

The launch didn't convert the way you expected. Someone said no to your proposal. Your content isn't getting the engagement it used to. Sales are quieter this month. And suddenly, you're not looking at a business result anymore. You're questioning yourself. "Maybe I'm not good enough.""Maybe people don't want what I'm selling.""Maybe I've lost my edge.""Maybe this isn't working anymore." This is one of the most important mindset shifts you can make as a business owner: learning to separate what happened from what you make it mean about you. In this episode, we're talking about how to stop attaching your self-worth to every result your business produces and become a more objective, resilient and confident leader because of it.

Have you ever known exactly what to do... and still not done it?This episode was inspired by a conversation with an entrepreneur who had the strategy, the plan, and the next steps—but was struggling to take action.That led me to a realization: entrepreneurs usually get stuck in one of two places.I don't know what to do.I know what to do, but I'm not doing it.In this episode, I'm breaking down how I navigate both challenges, including the simple exercise I use to create clarity when I feel overwhelmed and the mindset shift that helps me move forward when fear, perfectionism, or procrastination show up.Because here's the truth:Action comes first. Confidence comes later.If you've been waiting to feel ready before taking your next step, this episode is your reminder that confidence isn't something you find—it's something you build.The future version of you is waiting on the other side of one small action.

Andy Stumpf's BUD/S class started with 180 students. 18 graduated. As a BUD/S instructor years later, he got to do something most SEALs never do: sit down with the hundreds who quit and ask them why. The answer was almost always the same.   Joe De Sena talks with Andy, a retired SEAL Team Six operator who was shot during a 2005 deployment, spent eighteen months rehabbing neuropathic nerve damage, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Montana, and write the book Drown Proof.   This episode breaks down why the students who quit SEAL training all collapsed the same way, what the difference is between telling someone a run is four miles and telling them to run until you say stop, and why momentum matters more than knowing exactly where you are headed.   Things You Will Learn: The single pattern that appeared in nearly every SEAL training dropout, and why it applies to any goal you have set and abandoned. Why starting to move matters more than knowing exactly where you are going. What changes when you shift from macro goals to micro execution under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Momentum Over Azimuth: Start moving before you have a perfect plan. Paralysis comes from needing the destination to be clear before taking the first step. Movement creates clarity. Stillness creates doubt. Macro Goal, Micro Living: Set the big target, then forget it. Shrink your world to the next step, the next hill, the next rep. The students who quit SEAL training all failed the same way: their view of time expanded until the distance between where they stood and the finish overwhelmed them. Ask for Help as Strength: The toughest people Stumpf has known all share one trait: when they hit the limit of their knowledge, they find an expert. When they are struggling, they ask. Nobody can read your mind. Until you ask, the people who care about you cannot help you.   'Heads up!

At eleven, his father mentioned the Navy SEALs once, and the idea absorbed every decision that followed. He enlisted at seventeen, barely graduated high school, and never looked back.   Andy served ten deployments as a SEAL Team Six operator. In 2005, he was shot during a mission, suffered neuropathic nerve damage, and spent eighteen months rehabbing as a BUD/S instructor, where he studied why the vast majority of candidates quit on their lifelong goals.   Andy got commissioned as an officer without a college degree, finished his career on a West Coast team, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, teach skydiving, launch a nine-year podcast, and open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Kalispell, Montana. His book, Drown Proof, was published in April 2025.   Connect to Andy: Website: https://thestringbean.co/about/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestring.bean/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ClearedHotPodcast X: https://x.com/AndyStumpf77

What if you don't need to do more to create greater momentum? What if you need to pull back long enough to see what is working, what no longer belongs, and what deserves your full energy next? After a wonderfully full—and admittedly wild—summer, Allison began looking at her business through a different lens. She created space, ruthlessly evaluated what the company was carrying, and established extreme clarity for herself and her team around the next chapter of She Believed She Could. In this episode, Allison shares the three decisions that are reshaping the remainder of her year and challenges listeners to consider whether constant movement is taking them closer to the future they want—or simply keeping them busy. This conversation is for the woman with a full calendar, a growing vision, and the sense that something needs to become clearer before she moves forward. Memorable Moments From the Episode “There was only one week all summer that we were home for the whole week. It was a lot, but it's also what I prayed for. I'm incredibly grateful that we were able to do so many things together as a family.” “What if the most powerful thing you could do to move forward is pull back—not quit, not abandon the vision, but intentionally create enough space to see what's actually working and what no longer deserves your energy?” “We convince ourselves that movement is momentum, but they are not the same thing. You can be moving constantly and still not be moving in the right direction. You can have a full calendar and an empty strategy.” “Creating space can save you months or even years of pursuing the wrong priorities. White space is not wasted space. White space is where we reconnect with the vision.” “Where do I need to stop pushing long enough to see clearly? Maybe you need to stop saying yes to every opportunity and determine which ones actually support the future you want.” “Sometimes we pull back because we're afraid, but sometimes we pull back because we're preparing to leap—and those are two completely different things.” “For every part of our business, I began placing it into one of four categories: Do we keep it, merge it, pause it, or eliminate it? Growth is not always about addition. Very often, growth requires subtraction.” “Sometimes the bravest decision is to acknowledge that something was right for a previous season, but it isn't necessarily right for the next one. History is not always a reason to continue.” “We're building an integrated ecosystem that supports ambitious, impact-driven women through a clear path that strengthens five areas of growth: mindset, messaging, marketing, monetization, and momentum.” “Clarity does not mean knowing every step. It means knowing the next right step and being willing to take it. ICONIC stands for Intentionally Creating Our Next Incredible Chapters—and that's exactly what this season represents to me.” Ready to Create Clarity Around Your Next Move? If you have an idea you are ready to launch, a business or brand you want to strengthen, or a fresh direction you are ready to explore, enrollment for the next SBSC™ Collective is now open. This intentionally small, high-touch, eight-week coaching experience gives Allison the proximity to understand what you are building and help you move it forward with strategy, personalized guidance, and accountability. Members of this cohort will also receive a complimentary ticket to the 2026 Iconic Impact Summit on November 5 in Winter Park. Enrollment closes September 1, and the first session begins September 8.

Most leaders know how to fight through a crisis. Almost nobody's ready for the moment things start working.That's where Jonathan finds himself. Five years into running the Seymour Center, the survival years behind him. Funding's solid. The team's humming. He walks the halls, thinks "we're good," and tells me that stability feels strange. Almost uncomfortable. Like a problem he doesn't have the muscle for yet.What I keep seeing after 15 years is that that's exactly how good organizations stall out. The bold, experimental swings that built the momentum are the first thing leaders quietly retire the moment things feel stable. So the real discipline is refusing to coast, and building from a place of stability instead of scarcity while you still have the calm to think clearly.Episode Highlights: [00:01:35] Momentum is a different kind of problem [00:10:45] Three viable paths, one hard choice [00:19:05] Build from stability, not scarcity [00:20:10] The trap of business as usual [00:23:05] Owning your wins in front of funders [00:29:10] What got you here won't get you thereNotable Quotes: Jonathan Hicken [00:28:55]: "Keep the foot on the gas, and lean into what I know has worked — which has been big, creative, different, bold swings."Eric Ressler [00:20:35]: "The trap would be, okay, it's working now, we just move into business-as-usual mode. That's how orgs stall out a lot of times."Hosted by Eric Ressler, Founder & Creative Director of Cosmic, with co-host Jonathan Hicken, Executive Director of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.

Jeff Mains sits down with Elie Bouzaglou, founder of Fish Tank, a video-first crowdfunding platform built for a generation that discovered entrepreneurship on their phone. Elie built an AI voice-call analysis tool as an internal sales tool at his web agency, only to have his team push him to bring it to market. After getting rejected by Republic, Wefunder, and every major crowdfunding platform, Elie didn't blame his product — he blamed the format. Pitch decks are boring, gatekept, and built for VCs, not consumers. His answer: a platform where founders pitch like content creators and everyday people can watch and actually invest, Shark Tank style. The conversation covers building in public, going "all in" on a risky content bet that proved his thesis before launch, why the next Mark Zuckerberg is more likely to be an ex-UGC creator than a programmer, and his "carefully reckless" framework for tackling the thing founders are most afraid of.Key Takeaways3:48 — How Elie's internal AI sales tool became a product because his team saw value he didn't.6:15 — Why the tool wasn't VC fundable, and the pivot toward crowdfunding.10:30 — The core insight: crowdfunding's real problem isn't quality, it's that discovery is boring.13:01 — Why people will binge-watch Shark Tank but can't invest in it — and how Fish Tank closes that gap.17:10 — The "pushing a car" metaphor: starting is the hardest part, momentum does the rest.19:46 — His trick for beating camera-shyness: film it and tell yourself you won't post it.28:54 — Why the next Zuckerberg probably won't be a programmer — it'll be an ex-UGC creator.36:42 — The "carefully reckless" framework: name the thing you're avoiding, write it down, do it.37:31 — The story of betting nearly his last dollar on a content shoot with a VC-turned-content-creator — and how it proved his thesis before launch.40:19 — Why investors are just people, and being seen with flaws beats not being seen at all.41:59 — On dealing with online hate: most of it comes from jealousy, not dislike.Tweetable Quotes"The worst possible case scenario is no one knows who you are. It's not bad PR — that's where you're at right now, and it can only get better." — Elie Bouzaglou"You have to be carefully reckless. What is the thing you are delaying the most? What is the thing you're most afraid of? And just do it." — Elie Bouzaglou"It's always easier to build than to start from zero." — Elie Bouzaglou"I believe the next Mark Zuckerberg will not be a programmer. He'll probably be an ex-UGC person." — Elie Bouzaglou"The greatest success is just on the other side of that fear." — Jeff Mains"When someone hates on you and takes time out of their day to comment, it's because they're jealous — not because they actually dislike what you're doing." — Elie BouzaglouSaaS Leadership LessonsShip it even if you don't see the value. Elie almost never brought his internal tool to market — his team had to convince him. Don't assume "anyone could build this" means no one wants it.Question the format, not just the product. When rejected by every platform, Elie didn't fix his pitch — he concluded the entire crowdfunding format was broken and built a new one.Momentum beats planning. His "pushing a car" philosophy: the hardest part is starting; perfect names, decks, and plans can wait.Break big fears into small, reversible actions. Film it without posting. Schedule it with the option to cancel. Small, low-stakes steps unlock big behavior changes.Distribution is a founder skill now, not a marketing afterthought. Building in public and mastering short-form content may matter more than technical pedigree for the next generation of founders.Bet asymmetrically on your scariest move. Spending nearly his last dollar on a content shoot was terrifying — but the asymmetric upside (VC access, proof of concept, investor DMs) made it the right kind of reckless.Guest Resourceselie@fishtank.vchttps://www.fishtank.vceliebouzaglou.comeliebouzaglou.com/linkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/elie-bouzaglo/https://www.instagram.com/ftnk.elieEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

878 · D23 Disney Parks Announcements: Sightlines Into Yesterday, Tomorrow, and FantasyThe loudest cheers at D23 weren't necessarily for what Disney was building next. They were for what Disney was willing to bring back, repair, and finally acknowledge.In a presentation built on a little faith, trust, and pixie dust, Disney asked fans to believe in an ambitious future, but this time it also showed its work. Models, progress, priorities, restorations, and even the things Disney chose to address directly revealed a much bigger story than any single attraction announcement.In WDW Radio # 878, we look at the D23 2026 Disney Parks announcements through a series of "sightlines" that connect Villains Land, Piston Peak National Park, Dreamfinder, the Expedition Everest Yeti, Spaceship Earth, Tomorrowland, Monstropolis, Tropical Americas, Disney Cruise Line, and much more. And the sightlines stretch well beyond the U.S., from Disneyland Paris and the return of its Jules Verne-inspired Space Mountain to new Tomorrowland, Avengers, and Spider-Man experiences coming to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.When you step back, it starts to look like a very Disney story of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy. Yesterday is being honored through attractions, characters, and experiences fans refused to let go of. Tomorrow is taking shape through ambitious new lands, technologies, attractions, and global expansion. And fantasy is where Disney is creating entirely new places and stories for us to step inside.We also explore what changed the perspective on some of these projects, why "no height requirement" may be one of the most important phrases of the night, why the sequence of these projects may matter as much as the projects themselves, and what Disney did not announce... and why.This isn't simply a recap of D23 2026. It's a closer look at what Disney is building, what it is preserving, what it is asking us to trust, and what all of it may mean for the way we experience the Disney Parks around the world in the years ahead.

During this Black August, US White Nationalists have continued to compile victories in the federal court, from Donald Trump's White Nationalist Department of Justice dropping charges against Oath Keepers January 6, 2021 insurrectionists to his illegal White House ballroom project being endorsed through inaction by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.Internationally, the US federal government continues to alienate former allies such as Canada, strong arm African governments like Liberia and support authoritarian and genocidal regimes from North Korea to Israel, all while further attempting to suppress internal critics, from sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to military media watchdogs like Stars and Stripes.Still, from within the fracturing US polity, both resistance and victory against would-be fascist overlords continues to rise. A US Senate primary victory in Florida and wins in other smaller federal and state races continue to unsettle both soft white nationalist Democratic establishment formations and an increasingly unhinged and embattled White Nationalist Party.Their reactions are well-warranted: A swelling number of people are taking and preparing to take action, independent of establishment politicians, mass media pundits, political operatives and precariously-perched managerial classes.From within Africana Governance formations, hope for creating better lives through collective effort is finding footing, fed by increasing numbers of awakened, informed, and engaged actors.This week, In Class With Carr places the concept of hope as an Africana Way of Knowing formed out of the Momentum of Memory in the context of US and global events.We start today's class with Tequila Johnson.Are you a member of Knarrative?

Great service managers don't simply survive the month—they build stronger teams, improve the customer experience and create consistently profitable service departments. In this episode of Service Drive Revolution, automotive fixed operations expert Chris Collins reveals five overlooked habits that separate great dealership service managers from average ones. Great service managers: 1. Reject the status quo and continually improve their processes. 2. Know their numbers and understand how to change them. 3. Become "people collectors" who constantly recruit, develop and retain talented employees. 4. Make the customer experience easy, trustworthy and worth returning for. 5. Find coaches and mentors who challenge them to keep learning. Chris explains why dealership service departments are closed-loop systems, how tribal knowledge keeps managers trapped in outdated processes and why exceptional performance can actually make a manager's job easier—not harder. The conversation also examines service department profitability, net-to-gross, unproductive wages, CSI, NPS, technician recruiting, service advisor performance and customer retention. You'll learn why sales scripts and objection handling cannot replace customer trust, why technology such as video multipoint inspections cannot fix a broken process and why successful service managers are always recruiting. Chris also discusses former CIA intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante and his book Outsmart Everyone: Spy Skills to Gain an Unfair Advantage in Work and Life. The team explores charisma, vulnerability, intentional leadership, parenting and the ability to make genuine connections with people. This episode is for: Dealer principals General managers Fixed operations directors Service managers Parts managers Service advisors Automotive technicians Dealership and repair-shop leaders. If you want a healthier, more profitable automotive service operation, this episode provides a practical leadership framework you can immediately apply.

US equities were mostly lower in Monday afternoon trading, though somewhat in waiting mode for key catalysts ahead (including Nvidia earnings and Warsh's Jackson Hole speech). Momentum was the notable drag with memory and semis both down. The AI narrative was busy with a number of recent headlines, including Nvidia price hikes driven by memory surge, Deepseek and OpenAI price cuts, and rising AI-linked CDS.

Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS Shoes in 2006 after a trip to Argentina, where he saw children without shoes and built a company around giving away a pair for every pair sold. TOMS went on to donate more than 100 million pairs of shoes and became one of the most copied business models in the world. What most people don't know is what happened after he sold it, and I'm grateful that he was open to talking about that on this episode of The Learning Leader Show. Key Learnings Make your gratitude specific. Not "I'm grateful for my family." Name the exact thing. Blake's example from that morning: the photos the camp posted of his daughter laughing in the lake, and knowing his stoic kid does not smile like that unless she is genuinely happy. He kept the practice going for five years when he couldn't feel any of it. Blake could not name five things he was grateful for, and he had all the same things in his life he has now. He did it anyway. He credits it as one of the things that kept him going. Surfing is a great thinking practice. Surfing is mostly just sitting on the board. Three hours in the water, ten waves, maybe five minutes standing. The rest is paddling and sitting. That's why it works as a thinking practice. Capture the idea in the moment or lose it. Blake programmed the side button on his Apple Watch to open a voice memo. Every idea he has sitting on the board, he records. They're all waiting when he gets out. He hit every marker and still felt worthless. "I did everything, and I still, deep down in my soul, had this feeling like I'm not worthy, I'm not enough, and I never will be." The external validation was the drug. Selling TOMS cut off the supply. The thing that had been holding up his sense of self was suddenly gone. If you get there and it's empty, don't panic. Panicking is what Blake did, and having money meant he could make expensive mistakes fast. Build the dream house. Get divorced. One thing after another. The emptiness may be the point. Blake's read on it: if achievement delivered what society promises, you'd never go inward. Feeling hollow at the summit is what forces the inner work. He re-patterned the sentence he'd been telling himself since childhood. The old one was "you're not enough." He replaced it with "I am enough. I've always been enough." Twenty minutes every morning and every evening. Forty straight days. It worked, and he no longer needs to do it daily. Sometimes you just need a physical cue to catch the loop. That's the whole idea behind the bracelet he wears. Not magic. A reminder on your wrist that interrupts the thought. Give the second one away. Blake found the bracelet's real power was handing one to a friend. Now you're both wearing it, you're both in on it, and there's an unspoken agreement that neither of you has to have a bad day alone. Men are worse at building that than women are. Tell your kids they're enough, and keep telling them. They're going to get the opposite message from everywhere else, which is exactly why it has to come from you repeatedly. Blake says the relaxation you'll see in them is immediate. Be brutally honest about how hard the job is. Try to talk them out of it. Blake is the last interview in the process now. If he can lay out every negative and they still desperately want it, the commitment is real. "How many people did you convince not to take the role before you got the right person?" Most leaders slip into sales mode, talk the candidate into it, and end up talking themselves into the candidate. What he screens for during the interview process: Integrity first. If it isn't there, it surfaces fast now. Attitude second. The person who never says "that's not my job." Whether they're building a resume or joining a movement. Find the people who cover what you're bad at. Blake is a storyteller, a vision-sharer, and high energy. He is not a supply chain guy, not a finance guy, and he has trouble saying no. So he hired around it. That's what let him actually be the chief shoe giver instead of pretending to be a CEO. Don't wait for permission. Most people stand in line at the front door. Blake looks for side doors. In Argentina he had no investors and no plan, just an idea and the words One For One. Ryan's version for his kids: everyone can apply online. Drive to the restaurant and go talk to the manager instead. Having no experience was the advantage. He'd never made a shoe, so he didn't know which rules he was breaking. Same with outdoor advertising. Same with driver's ed. He learned it from Richard Branson: ask forgiveness, not permission. Nashville wouldn't allow advertising, so he sold art instead. Blake spent two years with the city council and got there by removing the ad from the ad. No price, no call to action. Just album covers on the sides of buildings, called country music art. Once one artist had one, they all wanted one. He sold the company to Clear Channel. You don't attract what you want. You attract what you are. Want honest friends, be honest. Want peace at home, bring peace. Want trust, practice it when nobody's watching. Blake applies it to customers too: sloppy companies attract sloppy customers, and that's usually the real reason the business fails. Charlie Munger got asked how to get a great wife. He said: deserve one. Be known for doing what you said you'd do. Early on Blake didn't have the skills, so he built the reputation on execution instead. Move fast, keep it simple, do it with integrity. Momentum is a form of trust. The other half of that is not overpromising. Blake's own failure mode is getting excited, feeling falsely confident, promising something big, and missing. When it happens, own it fast and be honest, and the relationship usually survives. Be careful using a general-purpose chatbot as a therapist. Blake's warning, and the reason the founders of Sonia built a purpose-built tool instead: the big consumer models are designed to make you feel good about yourself. If you need to hear something hard, that's the last thing you want. He went from skeptic to advisor in six months. Blake met the Sonia founders at a mental health conference, tried the app to be polite, and by the third session was getting insights he hadn't gotten elsewhere. He now spends five to ten hours a week helping them. His reason for loving the work: "Now I get to be the coach instead of the athlete." Stop chasing balance. Design for harmony. Blake picked this up from an executive at Cannes who said she'd given up on balance. He goes hard in phases. Full dad mode with the office waiting on emails. Then all in on a launch and missing things at home. The measure isn't evenly split day to day. It's whether, over a year, everyone in his life feels like they got what they needed to thrive. Including him. Reflection Questions What did you actually feel grateful for today? Not the category. The specific moment. What is the sentence you've been repeating to yourself since childhood, and is it true? In your last hire, how hard did you try to talk them out of it? Or did you spend the interview selling them, and then sell yourself? More Learning #598: Sam Parr - Bold. Fast. Fun.
