π What 18 Disney Legends Taught Me...
Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesHello 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. For more than twenty years, I've been lucky enough to have those conversations. And I've finally brought some of my very favorites together into something I'm proud to share with you. It's called The Disney Interviews: Disney Legends Edition, and it's a collection of original interviews with 18 Disney Legends. Imagineers, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and storytellers like:
Here's the thing that has always stayed with me, and I think you'll feel it too as you read: almost none of them think of themselves as "legends." They talk about their mentors instead of their achievements. They credit their teammates before themselves. They tell stories about late nights, impossible problems, and the simple joy of making something that would bring happiness to other people. Each interview also includes a personal introduction I wrote, sharing why that particular conversation has stayed with me all these years. Honestly, this book exists because of you. Every one of these conversations happened because you listened, you showed up, you shared an episode with a friend, and you believed in what we were building together. So more than anyone, I wanted you to have it. The book is available now on Amazon and on Kindle, and I'd be so grateful if you'd take a look.
And if I can ask one small favor... if you do read it, I'd truly love to hear what you think. Your honest feedback and reviews genuinely help more than you know. They help other fans discover the book, and they help me keep doing this work I love so much. If you enjoy the book, a review on Amazon would be greatly appreciated! If you didn't like it, then please don't leave a review! LOL Reply to this email and send me quick review, a note. And even just telling me which interview was your favorite would mean the world to me. Thank you, as always, for being here. For 20 years now, none of this has ever happened without you. π Choose the good, - Lou Mongello |

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. Itβs also why I created the Momentum Weekend Workshop. It brings together a small group of creators, solopreneurs, and business owners to work on...
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 Iβm still playing catch-up in many ways, but I promise Iβll be getting back to more regular updates soon because I have a LOT Iβve been wanting to share with you! But first... this. Some of my favorite WDW Radio memories over the years havenβt 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...
