Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

What I'm curious about is how were you able to tap into the human mind and create emotional connections with audiences through these animations.

How was this studied and executed for the last 30 years at such a high level?

Well, I will say that for the first movie, it's one of those things are, there is some luck

in that group that first came in. We had always,

in the history of both at New York Tech and then at Lucasfilm and then at Pixar, was to say

we really want to hire the very best. And so I would say, well, we want to hire people who are

smarter than I am. And I know other

people say that, but because like, like, what does it even mean? But it means that you don't want

to be threatened by the people that you hire, and they just have to have these extraordinary skills.

When they were building out our technical group, they were just really good.

I mean, they had passed me in terms of their understanding of all the technology.

And John understood that, too.

So when he did his first hires, the first person he hired was Andrew Stanton,

and then the second was Pete Doctor. And Joe Ranf came in, and then we brought in, really, to be an editor,

except he turns out to be like one of the best storytellers ever, is Lee Unkrich.

This is this amazing group of people that came together.

Part of it was we really had established the culture where this was the right thing to do,

is you aren't bringing in, you weren't even thinking about them as, oh, okay, who's going to be second to me.

It's like, okay, who's really good?

And it turns out that Andrew was, had this extraordinarily structural sense.

We didn't know that what were you?
