Heretics, thankfully.

Heretic soundbites inspiring me to share them here…

If you think people are coming here to play golf, you are out of your friggen mind.

There are Links courses and then there’s everything else…

As different from each other as a Caddie is from a golf cart.

Forgettable, formulaic designs. Pretentious clubhouses. Signature holes. Golf carts on paved paths that make you feel like a token in a giant board game.

Regard your work as though it will still exist 500 years from now. Is that too much to ask? Anything else would have been too little.

Disney retirement anniversary

Telling the “What’s your Bear’s name?” story.
Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Intentionally making a transition from suit and tie to jacket off and sleeves rolled up. Because the goal was to do something that scared the heck out of me. Had never done it and now that i’m my own boss, post-Disney, i make the rules.

Disney retirement anniversary is one week away.

It’s been eight years since officially retiring.

It’s been 14 years since the decision to retire a decade before i wanted to.

Front row adversity

Disney speaker
Avoiding front rows is a consistent human condition. Do the opposite and watch what happens to your vantage point. Over-focus on being a front row student.
