- The biggest challenge he faced while working for Disney;
- The most valuable thing Disney does, at least in the Parks & Resorts;

- Why this book is for you whether you consider yourself a leader or not;
- His second book, which just came out in March, The Customer Rules…The 39 Essential Rules for Delivering Sensational Service [affiliate link];
- Why the first rule is what it is;
- What he loved most about what he did;
- The most satisfying job he can think of;
- How he deals with tough questions;
