Money talks…Speech, Speech
Disney: Part 2
So finally we got down to business. They announced that ‘Broker’s’ group had the best business plan so their entire team advanced. ‘Broker’, I think, was their team leader but she had to give a speech, I remember thinking, well she won’t be much competition purely because she was so timid at the podium. Public speaking is such a huge part of business and I knew I was good at it although it scares the living crap out of me. Then they announced that I had raised the most sponsorship money…whew, I did it…and now it was my turn to make a speech. Oh great, I just got done bashing ‘Broker’ for her lack of skills and now I had to do it. I don’t remember a thing I said but they all clapped so I guess I said something good. So I was guaranteed a spot in the Final 16. Although when the show came out I was rather disappointed to see that didn’t even make the cut.
Then we were presented with our next challenge and 4 managers were chosen, Wiz, Mrs. Retro, Robin, and Broker. In my head I was thinking, hey wait a minute; I want to be a manager. Yeah, yeah that would give me a chance to shine, I knew that managers always had the best access to ‘The Producer’. I understood why 3 of them were chosen, Wiz had raised more money than I but he spread it amongst his group so they could all advance, Mrs. Retro had sold the most t-shirts at auditions, and Broker had led her team to having the best business plan. But Robin stumped me, he would have a lot of proving himself to do because obviously the producers saw something in him that I didn’t, other than he was pretty hot.
Disney’s Lesson Learned: Don’t be critical of others until you try it yourself.
