If you don’t know my friend Jody Maberry (pronounced MAY-berry), then you should change that right now. He helps others launch their own podcasts (just like me), and is an amazing podcaster in his own right. He’s also been responsible for introducing me to pretty amazing people, some of whom you’ve heard right here on the show; people like former Disney exec, Lee Cockerell, as well as today’s guest, Dan Cockerell. Dan is the former Vice President of Disney’s Magic Kingdom. He held 19 positions over a 26-year period, from the parking attendant to VP of operations. He’s got a brand new book out today called, How’s the Culture in Your Kingdom?: Lessons from a Disney Leadership Journey.
