π Why am I sending this to you?
Your Guide to Disney Parks & ExperiencesHey [FIRST NAME]! I hope your week has been filled with a little magic! There's been some fun and fascinating Disney announcements and conversations recently (including in the Clubhouse), right? And have you checked out this week's podcast yet? Over the past few months, I have received a number of great questions from our WDW Radio family about my Momentum Weekend Workshop this October 15-18 in Walt Disney World, including:
So today, I want to pull back the curtain and share more about what we're building this October, right in the heart of Walt Disney World... and why it might matter to you (or someone you know - if so, please forward this to them!) I genuinely believe this is going to be our best Momentum yet. ββββββββββββββββββββ Why Am I Telling You (and Other WDW Radio Listeners) About Momentum?For nearly 20 years, so many of the friendships, businesses, podcasts, YouTube channels, blogs, travel agencies, authors, artists, and creators I've met started right here in the WDW Radio community. Momentum is an extension of that same spirit - bringing together passionate people who want to learn, grow, create, and take the next step in whatever they're building. But I also want to be honest with you about something more personal. I wake up every single day excited and (immeasurably) grateful about what I get to do. Not what I have to do. What I get to do. I turned something I love deeply - Disney, storytelling, community - into a life and a business that I am genuinely proud of. And that feeling? I want it for YOU. When I was starting out, I was figuring it out alone. No roadmap. No mentor. No room full of people who got it. I was learning through trial and error, slowly and sometimes painfully. Momentum is the thing I wish had existed for me back then. It is the most direct, most personal, most intentional way I know how to give back - to share not just what I have learned, but how to actually do it, so you can feel the same excitement I feel about what you are building. If you have ever thought about turning what you love into what you do - whether that is a podcast, a blog, a YouTube channel, a travel business, a brand, small business, or anything else - this is for you. And I could not be more excited to be in that room with you. So let me tell you a little more about what Momentum actually looks and FEELS like: ββββββββββββββββββββ π Thursday - Kickoff NightWe kick things off Thursday evening with an opening session designed to get you in the right headspace, connect with your fellow attendees, and set the tone for the weekend. This isn't just a welcome reception... it's where the energy, the conversation, and the real magic begins. ββββββββββββββββββββ π Friday is About Foundation & GrowthFriday is about building the foundation for everything that follows:
Friday is where the weekend shifts from inspiration to implementation. ββββββββββββββββββββ π€ Saturday is Focused on AIEveryone knows AI matters. But almost no one feels like they actually know how to use it in their real business. Saturday fixes that. Instead of sprinkling AI tips across the weekend, I'm dedicating most of Saturday entirely to it - with multiple experts each going deep into a specific area of your business and workflow. Because this isn't about theory. It's about implementation. Jeff Sieh will show you how to use AI for visual content and creative workflows. Paul Gowder will walk you through building email campaigns and community with AI, the way he actually uses it. Lisa DiNoto will cover the tools and workflows for using AI without losing your voice - and you can start using them immediately. This isn't "watch someone talk about AI for an hour." You'll leave with:
More Saturday speakers and sessions are coming - stay tuned! ββββββββββββββββββββ π° Sunday is All About Monetization... and What's Next for YOUThe thing holding most creators back isn't knowledge. It's the absence of a clear, personalized revenue plan. So Sunday is dedicated entirely to that. After more than 20 years of building businesses, brands, podcasts, events, products, partnerships, communities, and revenue streams - I can tell you that most people don't need more ideas. They need a monetization plan that actually fits them. Together, we'll work through:
We'll also build Your 90-Day Action Plan - in the room, for you - so you leave with a clear next step, not just notes. And we'll close the weekend with our traditional Campfire Conversation: an open, honest talk about the journey, the hard parts, and what's actually working. Plus, you'll have dedicated time to ask your specific questions and get real feedback, guidance, answers, and next steps before you head home. ββββββββββββββββββββ π Only 25 Seats Left - Secure Yours Now!Momentum is capped at 50 people by design.

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello, my friend! I have to be honest with you about something. I thought this week's podcast was going to be an interview about baseball. It was not. Standing on the field at ESPN Wide World of Sports with Jesse Cole - founder of the Savannah Bananas - the conversation became something I did not expect. Jesse talked about Walt. About the Walt Disney World experience he had as a kid that stayed with him for decades and became the seed of everything he...
