And now, broadcasting from the center of the universe and the Thrive15.com world headquarters.

It's the Thrive Time Show. All right Thrive Nation.

Welcome back to another exclusive podcast edition of the Thrive Time radio show.

In this case, the podcast show.

And I'm actually going to be interviewing today, Lee Cockrell, the former executive

vice president of Walt Disney World Resorts.

To give you a context, when Lee was managing Walt Disney World Resorts.

Remember, he's managing basically a small city. He was managing 40,000 employees at one time, and close to 1 million customers a week.

The entire tourism industry, I could be wrong, but I don't know that millions of people come to Tulsa a quarter.

I don't know that we have a million people a quarter who are traveling to Tulsa for

tourism let alone a million a week. I mean what would that feel like and so when Lee

Cockrell talks to us about follow-up and the importance of constant follow-up that

micro-management is actually not a bad thing when he's talking about

managing everyone differently when he's teaching you about technology and modern business

management when he's talking about if you aren't doing the hard things and you aren't doing the right things

when he talks about people don't care about your problems you just have to deliver he's a

he's a source of wisdom and I would just encourage you to take notes and try to implement the specific things that Lee

Cockrell is teaching us all during this podcast.

So now that any further ado ado my exclusive interview with Lee

Cockrell, the former executive vice president of Walt Disney World Resorts.

If I'm a home builder, okay, and let's say I hire a guy named Bob and Bob's the one who installs counters for me.

Yeah.
