Stories of the Magic, Episode 27

Sponsored by Leaving Conformity Coaching.

In this episode, we return to finish up my interview with former Walt Disney Imagineer Mark Hickson. As usual, we back up just a bit so we can keep the flow of the conversation, then…

Mark talks about:

• More details about what kinds of things Imagineering did for special projects;
• A couple of unused concepts for some park attractions; (Here’s the link to the interview about the “floating theme park” project on Disney and More Mark mentioned: http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2011/09/d-archives-ss-disney-incredible-wdi.html)
• The last project he worked on as an Imagineer;
• What got him interested in working for Disney, particularly as an Imagineer;
• The first time he remembers thinking, “I’m doing something really special”;
• What he loved most about what he did;
• The job he’d want to have with the Walt Disney Company;
• What he never gets asked that he’d like to answer;
• What inspires him;
• His advice to you for following your dreams;
• And, of course, his “Disney by Mark” websites.
