🎓 I never wanted money to be the reason


Hello, my friend! I want to share an opportunity that means a lot to me, and it might be for you or someone you know. I also have a small favor to ask.

You probably know how much I believe in turning what you love into what you do. Taking that chance changed my life, and helping someone else take their next step is a big part of why I do what I do.

It’s also why I created the Momentum Weekend Workshop. It brings together a small group of creators, solopreneurs, and business owners to work on their ideas, get personal guidance, and build relationships with people who understand what they’re trying to do.

But wanting to be there and being able to afford it aren’t always the same thing.

I have never wanted money to get in the way of someone being able to pursue their passion, follow their dream, and make it a reality.

That’s why I’m awarding one full registration scholarship to the Momentum Weekend Workshop, October 15–18, 2026, at Walt Disney World. The recipient will join us for all four days, with Workshop registration completely covered, including the sessions, Thursday evening kickoff, event materials, and meals included with registration.

Travel, accommodations, meals outside those included with registration, personal expenses, and the optional Mastermind Monday are not covered. (I just want you to have a clear picture of what’s included before you apply)

If you’re building something, hoping to begin, or trying to figure out your next step, and the registration cost would make attending difficult, I’d love for you to consider applying. Students, veterans, active-duty military members, and people navigating special circumstances are also encouraged to apply.

You don’t need a big audience, an established business, or a perfectly written application. Selection is based on need or personal circumstances, fit with Momentum, readiness to participate, and the difference this experience could make for you, not your follower count or willingness to promote the event.

Applications close Friday, September 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET. You can read the details and apply at LouMongello.com/Scholarship.

And here’s that small favor: if someone came to mind while you were reading this, please forward this email or send them the link. They may never see my post or hear me mention it on the podcast, but they will hear from you.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping me put this opportunity in front of someone who could benefit from it. I’m grateful for the ways we continue to help one another, both inside and beyond our shared love of Disney.

Choose the good,

Lou Mongello

P.S. If you’d like to join us at Momentum, there are still a few Weekend Workshop seats available and just two spots left for the optional Mastermind Monday. Workshop registration is currently $100 off, and the restored $200 Super Early Bird discount for Mastermind Monday runs through September 14. I’d love to have you there, and you can find all the details at LouMongello.com/Momentum.

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, If you've been part of this community for a while, you know that some of my favorite WDW Radio moments haven't happened in the parks at all. They've happened in conversations. Sitting across from someone whose work I've admired my entire life, listening to them share a story they'd never told before, and realizing the microphone had long stopped feeling like an interview and started feeling like time spent with an old friend.

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, First, I owe you a huge apology for going a little quiet here (my Catholic Italian guilt is off the charts!). The lead-up to D23 was insanely (yet wonderfully) busy, and I’m still playing catch-up in many ways, but I promise I’ll be getting back to more regular updates soon because I have a LOT I’ve been wanting to share with you! But first... this. Some of my favorite WDW Radio memories over the years haven’t happened in the parks at...

Hey Reader! You can know exactly what to do with AI, video, email, monetization, systems... And still stay stuck in your business. Here's what I've learned after years of working with creators and solopreneurs: most people don't need more information. They need to believe in the information they already have. We second-guess the next move, we play small, we watch other people execute on the same idea we had six months ago, and wonder what they had that we didn't. That's why my Momentum...
