The Magic of Staying on Message with Disney's Dan Cockerell

Dan Cockerell started his Disney career
directing cars in the parking lot. But when he left 26 years
later to pursue an entrepreneurial journey of his own, he was in
charge of the entire daily operations of the happiest place on
earth.


I invited Dan on the podcast to help us understand how the
hospitality industry has responded to Covid overall. 


You’re going to learn about the power of staying on message, the
secret to hiring and training a world class team, when attitude
trumps skills, the No. 1 mistake most companies make that lead to
their downfall, how to handle an increasingly competitive
marketplace, and the value of trust.


Plus, stick around to the very end, when I asked Dan to tell me
ONE thing that even Disney superfans wouldn’t know about the
Magic Kingdom. And boy did he deliver.


This was a huge honor. As you know, my wife Lindsey and I are
Disney superfans. Getting to spend an hour chatting with one of
the most senior people at our favorite place on earth was truly
surreal. Dan was super gracious and very generous, which made it
even better.
