How to Actually Lead With Hospitality, Empathy & Creative Bravery: Lessons From Disney and Beyond

When I think about career as a team sport, I can’t help but think back to my post-college internship at Disney and the lifelong friendships that started there.

That experience, grounded in Disney’s legendary Traditions training program, taught me the power of hospitality, purpose, and connection. It also introduced me to this week’s guest, Taylor Scott, a best-selling author, speaker, and founder of Lead With Hospitality, whose career has spanned Disney, Gaylord, Wynn, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to lead with hospitality, why EQ matters more than IQ, how empathy and acceptance help us realign with purpose, the creative bravery it takes to keep growing, and why great leaders and great brands succeed for the same reason: they make people feel something.

Let’s keep making career more of a team sport.
