As Matt and Laci work on the transition from Load Bearing Beams to 1-Week Rental, they are unlocking some episodes from behind the Patreon paywall to hold you over. First up: Matt is joined by his friends and bandmates Wade Hymel and Patrick Perot to cover two episodes of Nickelodeon's Doug. "Bangin' On A Trash Can" is one of the best songs ever written for a fictional character, right? We gush endlessly about it, as well as its "Think Big" remix, and try to find parallels between Doug's band and our own individual musical endeavors. Plus, you'll learn way more than you could possibly be interested in learning about the history of Rural Route Nine. And of course, it's a larger discussion of Nickelodeon's Doug and the wider history of Nickelodeon and Nicktoons, plus the sad migration of Doug into the greasy maw of the Walt Disney Company, where he was badassified with baggier clothes and a dog who rides a motorcycle. We also discuss the original Doug pilot, "Doug Can't Dance." There's a fake Quailman at the school dance, a girl wearing a physics-defying donut costume, and Roger Klotz condemned to eternal torment like a slug on the ground. Also, we ponder how bad Doug would be at having sex for the first time. If you haven't revisited Doug since the 1990s, you might be surprised to find how well it works on every level — it looks great, it sounds incredible, and it's kind of hilarious. A great time is had by all, is what we're saying.

INTRO:I'm Hank, longtime podcaster, filmmaker, and YouTuber, and this is my review of Disney's Predator: Badlands.This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie so you've been warned.BUDGET:Predator Badlands cost $105 million dollars to make. It would appear the 20th Century Studios (a Walt Disney Company) is going to make money. That hasn't been a very common occurrence lately in film.SETTINGS:I didn't like the scaled down look of Yautja Prime. From the lack of scale to the hazy look, I wasn't a fan at all. When I say scale I don't simply mean the size of the area. I like to see expansive worlds that are populated. There were parts of the planet Genna that felt expansive but it mostly felt like we were in front of a green screen for two hours. If your budget wasn't $105 million dollars I'd let it slide.CHARACTERS:Dek portrayed by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. The concept is universal so it works for the most part. I simply couldn't wrap my mind around all the emotional dynamics of a human family coming from Predators.Thia & Tessa portrayed by Elle Fanning. The first several minutes of Thia's appearance were like nails on a chalkboard! She was so annoying that I regretted going to the film. Over time, thankfully, that leveled off. That dynamic works in many different types of movies, just not a Predator movie. She was the comic relief that had a strange motivation that I didn't quite understand because they didn't give us any insight on how or why she was so connected to Tessa. The Tessa version was a one-note villain that doesn't hesitate to lie to Mu/TH/UR.Father is portrayed by Reuben de Jong.Kwei is portrayed by Michael Homik.Bud is the baby Grogu style ripoff. She's even referred to as a baby Kalisk. She's funny and extremely important to the story but the comedy distracts from what a typical Predator movie should be. HITS:The concept of going on an adventure to prove your worth is tried and true. The action sequences work well and are exhilarating in most instances.If they were going for a couples or family movie they hit the mark. I was about 20 minutes in when I said to myself, “oh, this is a couples/family movie.”The marketing appears to have worked as the first weekend was pretty solid.I like that they attempted to go in a different direction with the franchise even though it doesn't work for me.MISSES:This is a predator movie in name only.This is a human storyline portrayed by brand name that sells tickets.The overall look and lack of scale detract from the movie.I didn't sign up for this style of Predator movie. Subverting expectations can work when you stay in the confines of the source material (which they didn't).The father son conflict dynamic is pushed beyond belief.The brother references being saved by Dek but they don't show it.The hunt seems irrelevant to the story which is simply a revenge story. Especially once Dek knows he won't kill the kalisk. So why are we going on this adventure again?They borrowed from too many franchises and genres to list.MOVIE SCORE: 5/10DIRECTION: CWRITING: DCINEMATOGRAPHY: CPOST PRODUCTION (INCLUDES: SCORE, SFX, COLOR GRADE) : DREWATCHABILITY: D1 Awful content = Fails on every single level.2-4 Poor = Terrible on almost every front.5 Mediocre = Some of the content is...
"What's the problem we're trying to solve? Because oddly enough, sometimes that's not really understood." Before Mercedes Ikard solves a problem, she asks a question most leaders skip: Are we even solving the right problem? In a world demanding immediate action, she's built her leadership on something more powerful: the discipline to pause, listen, understand, and ensure everyone's calibrated on what actually matters before moving forward. As Senior Director of US Benefits Operations at The Walt Disney Company, Mercedes leads benefits strategy for one of the world's most complex workforces—six generations, cast members in theme parks and executives in boardrooms, each with different needs. For Mercedes, this complexity requires constant calibration. "Empathy I think is important. And I think it's important to be a decent human. If we start out to be a decent human, that really is a good barometer and we really make decisions a lot easier." This is where calibration begins. Not with spreadsheets or plan designs, but with a fundamental check: Are we being decent humans? When issues explode in the cultural ethos, Mercedes does a gut check: Is this really an issue within this organization? She's learned to calibrate signal from noise, solving problems that actually impact her workforce rather than chasing topics du jour. In this episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, discover why constant calibration might be leadership's most powerful skill. Not as hesitation, but as disciplined checking that everything stays aligned with what actually matters. From bifurcating work and home with precision to extending grace in postmortems, Mercedes has built her career on understanding before acting, clarity before speed, grace before perfection. Her superpower isn't speed. It's the wisdom to calibrate constantly on the right problems, with empathy, and with grace. Key Insights: Why "what's the problem we're trying to solve?" eliminates most organizational chaos How listening to understand rather than respond creates scalable solutions The discipline required to separate workforce-relevant issues from topics du jour Why plain language and "side streets" serve six generations better than complex plan details How bifurcating your day prevents the exhaustion of never decompressing Why showing yourself grace isn't optional for sustainable leadership About the Guest: Mercedes Ikard serves as Senior Director of US Benefits Operations at The Walt Disney Company, leading benefits strategy for one of the world's most complex and diverse workforces. Her leadership philosophy centers on calibration: constantly checking that she's solving the right problems, leading with empathy, and extending grace to herself and others navigating the high-pressure demands of corporate leadership.

Flight 46: Iconic former domestic and international planning and development executive for both Disney and Universal, Frank Stanek. When you view construction photos or videos of Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Japan and other major themed entertainment projects around the globe, the focus is typically on those crazy creative folks — not the guys in the suits. But the truth is that if it weren't for the guys in the suits who secured the site and the funding, strategically planned the project, and oversaw the budgets and schedules, those crazy creative folks wouldn't have anything to design or build! Frank Stanek is probably the most famous "suit" in our industry today, having worked for Walt and Roy Disney on the New York World's Fair and Mineral King before joining WED Enterprises to oversee business planning and development. He helped to create Walt Disney World, Epcot, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris before working directly with Michael Eisner and Frank Wells as the Walt Disney Company's first Corporate Vice President of Planning. After a stint with the Japanese firm Dentsu, Frank was recruited to MCA/Universal, where he became President of International Business Development and oversaw the Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Japan, and Universal projects in Spain, Korea, and China. Set your timepiece now and plan to join us as one of the themed entertainment industry's most storied planning and development execs shares his wisdom and tales from the trenches in what promises to be Zoomcast for the ages!

What's the first question people at Disney ask themselves when they have a great idea? How does Bob Iger view his legacy, and does he think Walt Disney would approve of his record?

Hey Ohana, On this week's show we're taking a closer look at 3 of WDW's newest lounges: They Polynesian's Wailulu Bar and Grill, EPCOT's Geo-82, and Magic Kingdom's Beak & Barrel. We're joined by our friends Megan and Chris Blagg who have personally visited all three locations as we chat about what these new spots have to offer.

Be sure to listen to the end as well as we rank the three lounges and chat about the hits and misses at each and how we think they could improve them. We even share a little throwback to episode 63 to see if any of our Blue Sky Imagineering thoughts on Beak and Barrel came true! Thanks for tuning in and as always... See Ya Real Soon!

In this episode of Soulpreneur Scaling Stories, I sit down with Matt Quinones, a Virtual Assistant specializing in travel coordination and event management. Matt shares his journey from working at the Walt Disney Company on Broadway events to building his own retreat coordination business—and how creating a core offer in his first year transformed his confidence and clarity.Matt openly discusses the corporate-to-entrepreneur transition, the pandemic's role in his reflection on who he was serving, and why he decided to apply his event planning expertise to help small business owners and retreat leaders. We dive deep into his experience in my Foundations to Flow program, where he initially worried he was "too early" to focus on a core offer, but discovered that the structure and intentionality actually accelerated his growth.If you're a service provider wondering whether you need a signature offer, struggling with imposter syndrome, or trying to figure out how to talk about what you do without being all over the place, this conversation offers actionable insights and inspiring perspective.Key Points Covered:✨ Transitioning from corporate (Disney) to entrepreneurship✨ Why pouring yourself into corporate won't pour back into you the same way✨ How the pandemic created space for reflection and business pivoting✨ The importance of serving people who pour back into you (vs. serving a board of directors)✨ Creating a core offer even when you think you're "too early"✨ How structure and intentionality accelerate business growth✨ Claiming your expertise instead of downplaying your skills✨ Why slowing down to work ON your business speeds everything up✨ The power of networking and relationship-building in service-based businessesConnect with Matt:WebsiteInstagramPersonal InstagramSpecial Offer: Sign up for Matt's mailing list and be entered to win a free 24-hour ad in Times Square!Send us a textThank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community!

THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO... The title might not be great, but the potential of this cancelled film is certainly thrilling. Recently, news broke that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh had been working on a script for a post-Episode IX Ben Solo film. Not only that but it seemed that the folks at Lucasfilm liked the concept, and a full script was completed with the intention of moving forward with the film, only for Disney CEO Bob Iger to kill the film since he couldn't understand how Ben Solo would be alive. Today we discuss this news and wonder about the possibilities continuing Ben's story has, especially after a disappointing end for his character in The Rise Of Skywalker, and potential connections to Daisy Ridley's upcoming New Jedi Order film.

L&D has long carried the “hangover” of legacy expectations: delivering courses, creating content, and measuring completions. But in 2025, those skills won't cut it - and they could even put the profession at risk of being replaced by AI. In this episode of The Learning & Development Podcast, David James is joined by Candice Mitchell - consultant, founder of the Talent Development Academy, and researcher into L&D's future skills - to explore the next chapter for L&D. Together, they unpack the critical capabilities every practitioner needs now: from business acumen and consulting skills to the human strengths that AI can't replicate. Candice also shares her Impact Toolkit and five-spoke model for reframing the role of L&D, plus practical advice for professionals who feel stuck as reactive order-takers. If you want to move beyond legacy expectations and position yourself as a true business partner, this is the episode you can't afford to miss. Take your L&D to the next level Take advantage of thousands of hours of analysis. Hundreds of conversations with industry innovators and 25+ years of hands-on global L&D leadership. It's all distilled into one framework to help you level up L&D. Access the L&D Maturity Model here - https://360learning.com/maturity-model KEY TAKEAWAYS Businesses have to let go of the training course “comfort blanket”. Now, we need strategic skills development. Teams that do not change will be replaced by AI. AI skills will soon be standard. The human capabilities you bring beyond technology will set you apart. Candice's Impact Toolkit equips you to transition from order taker to strategic partner. BEST MOMENTS “Smart businesspeople just won't let go of the comfort blanket.” “We are good at delivering courses, at training people… but now we need to do the hard things so that we can stay relevant.” Candice Mitchell With nearly 20 years in the field, Candice has worked both as a corporate L&D leader and as a consultant to global organisations, designing capability strategies that go far beyond “training delivery.” Candice is a consultant, educator, and founder of the Talent Development Academy, where she helps mid-to-senior L&D professionals develop the skills needed to drive real business impact. Her Master's research explored the skills L&D professionals must build to stay relevant in an AI-integrated workplace - concluding that while AI literacy is table stakes, it's human and strategic capabilities that will define the future of the profession. Known for her optimism, candour, and practical frameworks, Candice is passionate about helping L&D break free from legacy expectations and step confidently into a more impactful role. https://www.linkedin.com/in/candicemitchelltdnerd/ https://talentdevelopmentnerds.com/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Learning And Development Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-learning-development-podcast/id1466927523 L&D Master Class Series: https://360learning.com/blog/l-and-d-masterclass-home ABOUT THE HOST David James 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.

News just dropped about a BEN SOLO film developed by Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh. Unfortunately for all of us, Disney CEO Bob Iger didn't allow it to be greenlit. We've been trying to talk about TRON for a while, so today we finally get to that (don't worry we'll get to Adam Driver and Ben Solo soon)!We're fans of TRON: Legacy, and we've been waiting for a sequel for a very long time. Now TRON: Ares has arrived. Starring Jared Leto, this film is a new story in the world of TRON more than a direct sequel. Jared Leto's involvement already had us worried about this one. Now that we've seen it we discuss it, but will we see eye to eye? • • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

What if I told you that Disney secretly owns half of A&E and the History Channel? In this episode, we uncover how Disney built a hidden cable empire—through partnerships with Hearst and the evolution of A&E Networks—that reshaped the world of educational TV and entertainment. When people think of Disney, they picture theme parks, animation, and streaming—but few realize that Disney quietly built a hidden cable empire through its stake in A&E and the History Channel. This video breaks down how Disney's partnership with Hearst Communications gave them control over some of television's most iconic networks. From the early days of A&E's arts programming to the explosive success of the History Channel, we'll explore how Disney's influence extended far beyond Mickey Mouse and Marvel. If you're fascinated by the business side of entertainment, this episode connects the dots between Disney, A&E, and the History Channel, showing how corporate strategy can shape what we watch—and what we think of as “Disney magic.” Podcast: Listen to Synergy Loves Company → https://synergylovescompany.com Support the Show: Shop official Synergy Loves Company merch → https://shop.synergylovescompany.com Affiliate Disclosure: Some links above may be affiliate links.
