Our guest on this episode took the consumer electronics brand, Belkin, from $400 million to one billion dollars in annual revenue in only four years. As the president of Kenmore Craftsman Diehard for Sears Holding he transformed these iconic American brands by launching Kenmore and Diehard exclusively on Amazon with Kenmore becoming the first major appliance to be sold on Amazon. He is the former president of the Disney Stores Worldwide…and so much more! As someone who has seen just a few economic cycles while running major brands, I could not think of a better guide for us all than my friend, Tom Park, who offers specific and sage advice, especially for middle and lower middle market companies, as we continue to move towards increasingly uncertain times.  We also talk about consumer product trends, managing expenses, focusing on the customer experience, building infrastructure to get ahead of the curve, employee retention, creating a culture of accountability to achieve budget, the importance of market share analysis, leading well and so much more. You're going to want to listen to this episode twice as Tom shares so many nuggets from his vast experience, all of which he continues to use today as Managing Director of Portage Point, where they offer interim management, performance improvement and board services to stakeholders in periods of distress, underperformance and transition.  About Tom Park Tom Park joined Portage Point in December 2020 and currently serves as a Managing Director offering interim management, performance improvement and board services to stakeholders in periods of distress, underperformance and transition.

World of Color – One will celebrate the storytelling legacy started by Walt Disney 100 years ago. The show will tell a story of how a single action creates a ripple that can grow into a wave of change. Wondrous Journeys will be the new Disneyland fireworks show that will have nods to all 60 Walt Disney Animation Studios films to date, and will include more state of the art projection effects on Main Street, it's a small world, and the Rivers of America. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/09/disneyland-resort-announcements-from-d23-expo-2022-and-more/ The Disney Parks Blog did what Josh D'Amaro didn't do at the D23 Expo last week – they gave us some information on the Magic Bands coming to Disneyland! No exact date was mentioned, but they did confirm that Magic Bands should be at the resort for guests this fall. The Magic Bands will allow guests to get into the parks, redeem Lightning Lane reservations, open Disney Resort Hotel room doors, buy merchandise, link PhotoPass photos, and more. Some of the flashier features include glowing with the nighttime entertainment and adding the ability to play games in the park. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/09/magicband-features-and-experiences-revealed-for-disneyland-resort-coming-this-fall/ One of the announcements from the D23 Expo last weekend was the new name of the hotel, formerly known as the Paradise Pier Hotel. The Pixar Place Hotel will be the name when the refurbishment is complete. No date on that yet. A Finding Nemo themed splash pad will be coming to the hotel, along with the Southern California team from Great Maple, which will run the restaurant on the first floor, along with other food and beverage locations at the hotel. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/09/disneyland-resort-announcements-from-d23-expo-2022-and-more/ Princess and the Frog has come to New Orleans Square – long before the retheming of Splash Mountain! Eudora's Chic Boutique featuring Tiana's Gourmet Secrets opened this week and offers Princess and the Frog themed merchandise, cooking supplies, and Tiana's own spices and sauces. Imagineers designed the story of the shop to be owned by Tiana's mother, Eudora. The new shop is just one main space that is pretty small, with walls covered in artwork showing the lives and scenes of New Orleans and Tiana herself! – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2022/09/20/explore-disneys-new-princess-and-the-frog-themed-store-with-us-eudoras-chic-boutique/ Overnight guests at Disney Resort Hotels will have a special experience for Halloween this year. Each hotel will offer trick-or-treating, with a treat map for each hotel with locations handing out complimentary candy. Hotel guests are encouraged to sign up at the front desk of their Disney Resort Hotel. The dates for this are October 28th through 31st. On Halloween night, there will be a costume contest on the Adventure Lawn at the Disneyland Hotel. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2022/09/celebrate-halloween-time-in-downtown-disney-district-and-at-the-disneyland-resort-hotels/ Weeklyteers who are interested in attending Grad Nite events at the resort will have to pay a little more this year. Ticket prices are up between 8 to 22 percent compared to last year. The Grad Nite party experience is $99 on weekdays and $104 on weekends, all-dat DCA admission with the Grad Nite party and a parkhopper option is $199 for weekdays and $219 for weekends. – https://www.ocregister.com/2022/09/16/disneyland-raises-prices-up-to-22-for-grad-nite-2023/ The painting has wrapped up at the Hollywood Lounge in the Hollwood Pictures Backlot area of Disney California Adventure. The signs have been convered to digital displays, and a new mural has appeared with the lounge's name on the side. The menu has not been updated. – https://www.micechat.com/333927-disneyland-update-halloween-treats-traffic-tricks/ Another patent has been posted that was requested by Disney. This time, it is for a glasses-free VR attraction experience. In basic terms, the new technology would use projections and reflections, much like the Pepper's Ghost effect that we have had in the Haunted Mansion for years now. Of course, just because a patent is filed doesn't mean that it will show up anywhere in the parks soon. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2022/09/disney-files-patent-for-glasses-free-vr-attraction/ Discussion Topic: Tage and Teresa's Trip to Disneyland and Oogie Boogie Bash Recap

Learning In The Flow of Work - or Workflow Learning - has been a hot topic in Learning & Development in recent years but how does this approach match up with employees' expectations and what they believe to be effective to meet their development goals? In this special episode, David and Bob Mosher explore the findings of a recent survey conducted to explore the expectations of learners and perceptions of L&D to see where we are right now and what we need to do to meet learners where they need us to be. Link to Learning In The Flow Of Work Survey: https://360learning.com/guide/learning-in-the-flow-of-work-report/learning-in-the-flow-of-work-report/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Fitting learning into the workflow is incredibly effective. It turns training from something that is done once a year into an almost daily experience. Building materials for use in the workflow ensures the L&D team´s focus is on delivering the product or service the company they work for has to offer. Not having to take people off the job, means not having to find time for training. In all countries, on-the-job training delivered by peers was deemed to be the most effective. But quality varies and those that are good at it do not always have enough time available to train others. A lot of new managers do not get training before taking on their new roles. Build life rafts first, then teach swimming. Training has to solve the most critical issues first. Contextualised training is far more effective. BEST MOMENTS 'In the workflow is the most powerful and intrinsically motivating place for learning to occur. ' 'Only 29% of UK learners and slightly more in the US said online training was effective.' 'We´ve got into the habit of trying to educate generic managers. ' 'In the workplace, performance is the outcome. Learning is just one tool to get there. ' ABOUT BOB MOSHER Bob Mosher is a genuine Thought-Leader in L&D and Chief Learning Evangelist, at The 5 Moments of Need™, an organisation that specialises in helping learning professionals design, develop, and measure effective learning and performance support through the 5 Moments design methodology. Bob has been an active and influential leader in the learning and training industry for over 30 years and is renowned worldwide for his pioneering role in new approaches to learning.   GUEST RESOURCES You can follow and connect with Bob via: Twitter: https://twitter.com/bmosh LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bmosher/ Website: https://www.5momentsofneed.com/ Performance Matters Podcast: https://performancematters.podbean.com/   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523  L&D Masterclass Series: https://360learning.com/blog/   ABOUT THE HOST David James  David has been a People Development professional for more than 20 years, most notably as Director of Talent, Learning & OD for The Walt Disney Company across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.  As well as being the Chief Learning Officer at 360Learning, David is a prominent writer and speaker on topics around modern and digital L&D.  CONTACT METHOD  Twitter:  https://twitter.com/davidinlearning/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjameslinkedin/  L&D Collective: https://360learning.com/the-l-and-d-collective/ Blog: https://360learning.com/blog/ L&D Masterclass Series: https://360learning.com/blog/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John explores a comparison to the Holocaust Joining CNN's John Berman Thursday morning to discuss his new documentary “The U.S. and the Holocaust,” Burns took aim at the Florida governor for flying two planeloads of Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard this week, calling it a “disturbing” play of political theater. “All of your documentaries are about history,” Berman began, “but all of them also make you think about where we are. We woke up to the news this morning that Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, including kids and whatnot. And I'm not saying, this is not a 1-for-1, this is not a parallel here in any way, but it does address some of the same themes that are part of this documentary.” Sitting with co-director Lynn Novick, Burns agreed. “Well, it's the abstraction of human life. It's basically saying that you can use a human life that is as valuable as yours or mine or Lynn's and to put it in a position of becoming a political pawn in somebody's authoritarian game. This is coming straight out of the authoritarian playbook,” he said. The documentarian then pointed to other instances in DeSantis' governance that has highlighted his refusal to participate in the democratic process. “This is what's so disturbing about DeSantis, is to use human beings, to weaponize human beings for a political purpose – it's like when somebody disagrees with him in Florida, like the Walt Disney Company, he punishes them,” Burns continued. “This is not the actions of a person participating in a democratic process in which there's an exchange of ideas. This is about punishing political enemies, putting on shows, political shows, political theater. And in this case, this is with the lives of human beings.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This portion of the D23 Expo had the biggest cheer of anything announced in 2022.First though, Josh D'Amaro announced what's happening with Dinoland at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. It has been languishing and looks forgotten so the announcement of a big transformation coming was welcome. Zootopia and Moana will share the space currently occupied by Dinoland. But the biggest news of all... Disney Villains are Finally Getting a Place to Call their OwnMagic Kingdom will feature new frontiers and it's all hiding on the other side of BTM. The little town of Santa Cecilia will come to life as Coco gets a Magic Kingdom presence. And if you do want to talk about Bruno, you're in luck because you may be able to walk right into the Madrigal's casita. But all is not fun and flowers in this new land...as what if the Disney villains took up residence there as well...beyond Big Thunder Mountain.This was presented as conceptual and would likely be 10 years down the road, but Disney would not share it in this way if it weren't going to happen. Big news for Walt Disney World and Magic Kingdom. -- There's More Coming to Walt Disney WorldA new nighttime show for EPCOT will debut in late 2023 to kick-off the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. Moana's Journey of Water and the rest of the World Celebration area at EPCOT will open in late 2023. So we'll have to bear with those construction walls for another year it seems.Figment is returning in a brand new form for a meet and greet at EPCOT. That will be in place by the end of 2023. In Magic Kingdom, the perennial favorite Hatbox Ghost will materialize once again in the Haunted Mansion. And we now know that Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom will debut in Spring 2023. We were hoping it would be sooner, but apparently they are working on finishing touches right now. No specific date, just "spring."  Finally, in 2023, a new version of  Happily Ever After will return as part of a new Magic Kingdom nighttime show. This received a good amount of applause. What's New and Coming to Disneyland Resort The DVC Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be called the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. How creative. On October 16, 2023 Disney 100 kicks-off and it promises to be the biggest celebration ever for Disney. Under the theme of a Boundless Future the following announcements were made: The Mandalorian and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) will be onsite starting in Mid November 2022 at Disneyland Galaxy's Edge Over at the Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park, Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, noted "we're just getting started." A new giant Hulk will be at Avengers Campus in California "next week."  Plus, they're bringing the Multiverse to Avengers Campus. Disney is expanding the campus to include a new attraction. In the new attraction you will battle alongside all the Avengers against all the foes from anywhere. You will fight King Thanos. This is a new Thanos -- a Thanos who won. And the Avengers are not too happy about that and you have to help them. More news to come. Also new to Disney California Adventure, they are reimagining Pacific Wharf into San Fransokyo from Big Hero Six. You'll be able to meet Baymax there.  Finally, they are reimagining Paradise Pier Hotel, as it will become Pixar Place Hotel. It will feature a Finding Nemo splash pad and more characters. All in all, Disney promises that the hotel will feel completely new. Over at Downtown Disney more than a dozen new or reimagined locations are in the works. More announcements coming over the next year. But the big news locally is a that SoCal favorite bakery Porto's is coming to Downtown Disney.  RunDisney at Disneyland is coming back in 2024. More details coming soon. It's been awhile for Run Disney as the last one took place in 2017. Mickey's ToonTown Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway are coming along. It was good to hear that it will be a slightly different version of Runaway Railway than the WDW edition, to fit into the Disneyland ToonTown story. It's all opening in 2023. Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024 in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The story for the ride is that it picks up where the film (Princess and the Frog) left off. In the new story, Princess Tiana is an entrepreneur and community leader in the year 1927. She is hosting a party for the community and we need to help Tiana to find a special ingredient that she's missing.  Disney promises that the latest tech is being implemented to really enhance the outside of the whole area at night. Mist will be used like a painter's canvas. "True bayou magic." The attraction is to be a love letter to New Orleans. Guests should feel the story is authentic to the city. Another great piece of news is that the original cast will be lending their voices to the new attraction. --What's new at Disney Cruise Line The sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is all about adventure...celebrating Walt's love for exploration. The new Disney Cruise ship is called Disney Treasure. The Disney Wonder is heading to Australia and New Zealand late 2023. The island of Eleuthera and Lighthouse Point will be the new Bahamas port for Disney Cruise. 90% of the power will come from solar.What's Coming to Disney Parks Around the Globe Zootopia is opening at Shanghai Disneyland.  World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland will open in the second half of 2023, featuring a Wandering Oaken sleigh coaster. Disneyland Paris' Frozen Arendelle land is coming along and Disneyland Hotel is being fully reimagined -- opening in 2024 At Tokyo Disneyland, Disney Fantasy Spring will feature Peter Pan, Tangled and Frozen. Plus a totally reimagined Space Mountain will open by 2027 at Tokyo Disney. Pixar We Belong Together will be debuting at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris next year. The DLP 30th Anniversary celebrations will be continuing until September 2023.--Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel PodcastThank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Hyperion Hub Correspondent Joseph Zakrzewski files his final report from the 2022 D23 Expo. He's recapping Day 3 of the event. The biggest news came from the theme parks presentation.

No one hopes for massive turmoil or an upheaval of life as we know it.    But through chaos comes clarity and changes like these offer us an opportunity to reevaluate who we really are and want to be.    Last year, Dave Hollis's life was turned upside down and in today's episode he welcomes us into the messy realities of his new one - everything from career transitions, protecting his sanity when his life was on blast, navigating relationship issues and facing his own demons.   Dave is a New York Times best-selling author, host of the popular Rise Together podcast, keynote speaker, and life and business coach. Dave's history includes CEO of a media start-up, President of Sales for the film studio at The Walt Disney Company, talent manager across film, tv, and music, along with work in publicity, research, and technology in the entertainment sector.   More specifically, we discuss these the challenging questions, and several others, that many people have to face in their lives:   What does success look like for me? (7:30) Am I the reason people don't find value in what I have to offer? (14:00) What have I learned from the difficult experiences in my life? (37:20) How do I know if this is the right solution for me? (47:00)   This type of self-reflection is critical to your ability to effectively lead those around you in a very specific and purposeful way.  Dave makes it clear, you can't put a price tag on the benefits of surrounding yourself with a community of experienced people to learn from in the pursuit of your goals - whatever they are.   If you're looking for that type of community, you're in the right place.  At Art of Coaching, we offer community-based experiences in several ways to make sure we can meet you where you're at.   The Conscious Coaching Challenge, starting in October, is a 30-day online challenge that provides you with the tools, guidance, feedback, and support you need from the entire AOC team and other members of the AOC family also looking to grow and improve.  In addition, you'll receive tons of FREE resources AND IT'S ONLY $99.  The Challenge starts in less than 1 month, so don't wait! SIGN UP TODAY!   If you're wanting something more long term, we also provide group mentoring - The Coalition - and 1-on-1 Mentoring with several different members of the AOC team.  These options offer a more individualized and tailored experience, ranging in time from as short as 3 months, to an evergreen subscription based opportunity.     Art of Coaching exists to provide you with the type of value we wish we would have had in our careers.  Please learn from our mistakes!  You can reach out to us directly at info@artofcoaching.com to find out more about what we can do for you. Last but not least, we want to thank our sponsor, Momentous, for today's episode.  Whether you're an elite athlete, weekend warrior or just looking to improve your everyday health / performance, check out their entire line of protein and supplements at livemomentous.com and use code BRETT15 at checkout for 15% off!

Episode (10) was definately full of laughs. Disney Night Live cohost Kim introduced the Name That Disney Attraction game to the rest of the DNL team (Ep from 03Sep2022). We joined along with the audience to guess the Disney attraction based on attraction quotes. Some were easy and some, not so much.

On this week's show, we're back with another recap of Disney news from August 2022. Paul Barrie from A Window To the Magic joins me again for another What's News episode where we talk about all of the major (and minor) news happenings from around the Walt Disney Company. There are quite a few things to unpack this month from the various different theme parks including changes coming to booking theme park reservations, new meet and greet characters not seen before coming to Halloween parties on both coasts, a new Pinocchio-inspired Tiki mug that got fans out at Disneyland very excited, and we'll even go through some highlights of the latest quarterly earnings call.

Producer, Director Jeff Sherman is back on the show! This time he's visiting the hometown of The Hyperion Hub, Peoria, Il. at the Peoria Riverfront Museum where there was a special screening of The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story.

Jeff Dixon, a pastor in the Orlando area, serving at Transformational Architect at The Church @ 434, who is a novelist and expert on Disney, visited Faith Radio/Meeting House Media Central at the Summer 2022 Christian Product Expo in Lexington, KY to analyze recent developments at The Walt Disney Company in light of a Christian worldview.  The conversation took place in the advance of the release of the book, Saving the Magic Kingdom.  His website is dixonondisney.com.

Teresa Mitrovic is a leadership learning consultant and creator of a framework for increasing organizational performance via psychological safety.  Those are big and abstract words that mean she helps organizations do what they do better by improving the culture and the way team members relate to each other.  She is the author of the book 'The Currency of Connection: How Trust Transforms Life, Relationships and Work' and the founder of Oro Collective. In our conversation we hear some of her career journey through leadership roles at Hasbro to The Walt Disney Company and Universal Pictures, and eventually to what she does now.

In this episode you'll learn: -What Teresa does -The psychologically safe performance model -The 3 aspects of the model — performance, psychological safety and trust -Connect mode versus protect mode -How Teresa created the model -Her journey as a team leader -Harnessing our emotions and bringing them to the work-table -Creating facilitation and accountability in your team -Transformational journeys — transforming other people's lives  -How Teresa got into marketing and psychology -Teresa's professional roles and how they added to her experience -The importance of building and nurturing relationships -Making leadership roles meaningful -Teresa's retraining — transitioning into her business -Teresa's definition of leaders — anyone who has an impact -Helping leaders create an environment that enhances performance -The importance of care, credibility, capability and consistency as a leader -Feedback — practicing humility and acknowledgement -People who are leaders versus leaders doing a job -Teresa's perspective on meaning, legacy and purpose Shownotes here: https://themeaningmovement.com/teresa

Learning & Development seems to be constantly evolving but at the same time revisiting and reinventing what has come before. In this episode, we discuss the emerging trends that have their origins in the past and the pioneers that we all need to pay more attention to. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even today, much of what we do in L&D is not evidence-based. This has to change. We are not taking successful methods from the past and reworking them for the modern world. Instead, we are simply rehashing old theories, without looking for evidence that they work. We don´t look back to see who might have done what we are trying to achieve before. You have to understand the jobs of the participants, and do the cognitive task analysis. L&D is not all about delivering learning. They are there to solve problems that are holding the business back Stakeholder management is a vital component of delivering solutions that work. BEST MOMENTS 'There is a big gap between positive endeavour and evidence-based practice.' 'Do it well, or don´t do it 'You need to work with problem analysis teams and then with problem-solving teams.' 'We need to think more holistically ' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 L&D Masterclass Series: https://360learning.com/blog/ EPISODE RESOURCES You can follow and contact Mirjam via: Twitter: @MirjamN LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mirjamneelen/details/experience/ How Learning Happens by Paul Kirschner - https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Learning-Happens-Paul-Kirschner/dp/0367184575/ How Teaching Happens by Paul Kirshner - https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Teaching-Happens-Effectiveness-Practice/dp/1032132086/ Guy Wallace Books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Guy-W-Wallace/e/B08JQC4C4V?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1662104935&sr=8-1 Joe Harless - https://hptmanualspring16.weebly.com/harless-model.html Donald Clark - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Donald-Clark/e/B08HVS5QSP?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1662105350&sr=8-1 Dr. Jane Bozarth - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jane-Bozarth/e/B001JS7VKO?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_4&qid=1662105930&sr=8-4 Patti Shank - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=patti+shank&crid=1I6XTHRPN5DBM&sprefix=patti+shank%2Caps%2C123&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Connie Malamed - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Connie-Malamed/e/B001SQ2JHW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1662106345&sr=8-1 Mike Taylor - https://mike-taylor.org/   ABOUT THE GUEST Mirjam Neelen Bio Mirjam Neelen is the Head of Global Learning Design and Learning Sciences in Novartis.

Covid finally got Steven. We talk about it, and encourage you not to make a temporary “I Can't” into a permanent “I Won't.” Also, some summer in review and we finally get the attention of the Walt Disney Company! Next stop, getting sued by Paramount! Here's Steven's Covid-recovery Sermon, as…

It was after he had worked 3 years as an investment analyst with Bear Stearns and spent more than 2 years inside the corporate strategy bullpen of The Walt Disney Company that Craig Abrahams decided to head to business school. However, Abrahams says that unlike many of his future classmates, he had made up his mind that hedge funds, investment banks, and strategy consulting firms would not be on his preferred menu of postgraduation career opportunities. “I wanted an opportunity to work really hard and stand out but also to go somewhere a little bit different, where I wasn't competing with 10 versions of myself,” explains Abrahams, whose earlier experiences at Bear Stearns and Disney had left the MBA student searching for a less traditional route to career success. Observes Abrahams: “I was looking for a place where I personally could have an impact.” That place became Las Vegas, where upon graduation Abrahams joined Caesars Entertainment as a director of broadcasting and new media. “This was about putting myself in a position where I would be in the right place if an opportunity came along,” comments Abrahams, who within 6 months of joining the gaming giant was tapped to help launch Caesars Interactive Entertainment. “I remember when Gary Loveman, the CEO of Caesars at the time, said to me, ‘There's an opportunity to work on a business plan to create a new entity,' so that opportunity fell into my lap,” remarks Abrahams, who had served in a number of corporate development roles before advancing into the new entity's CFO office. It was as CFO of Caesars Interactive that Abrahams first became acquainted with a small Israeli company that had a megahit mobile game known as Slotomania. Caesars was smitten and in 2011 acquired the Israeli firm, Playtika. Over the next 5 years, Caesars Interactive invested more than $300 million into the business, which allowed Playtika to complete a series of acquisitions that led to the sale of the company for $4.4 billion in 2016. “This was just the first step in the evolution of Playtika,” explains Abrahams, who joined the newly private firm as CFO in 2019 and subsequently spearheaded a debt raise of $2.5 billion. The company was able to pay investors a dividend before management became focused on taking the company public, a goal that would be realized early in 2021. –Jack Sweeney

In the second half of our conversation with Jake Freeman the author of the book The Disney Revolt: The Great Labor War of Animation's Golden Age we find out how the Disney Studio strike had lasting effects on Walt and the company.

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, I'll be chatting with Garner Holt from Garner Holt Productions. Most likely you've seen old episodes of the Disneyland television series where Walt Disney and his Imagineers were building the first ever Audio-Animatronic figures like the Enchanted Tiki Room birds, President Lincoln, pirates, and many more. And that's how it used to work. Nobody was building animatronics at that time, so The Walt Disney Company and the folks at WED Enterprises had to do it for themselves. A lot of people still believe the animatronic figures we see in new attractions are being made at Walt Disney Imagineering. But that's rarely the case these days. Enter Garner Holt, who has been creating the greatest animatronics in the world since 1977, and has been building them for Disney for several decades. Whether it's small animated figures on parade floats, a giant Maleficent dragon, or anything in between, there's a good chance that Garner Holt Productions had their hands in the project. Listen as Garner shares the story of how a visit to Disneyland's Haunted Mansion changed the trajectory of his life, and how he later got to play in that exact sandbox with the creation of Haunted Mansion Holiday. That and so much more on this episode.
