Inspired by his course, and a life-changing battle with a brain tumor, Jeff wrote two best-selling books: The Wisdom of Walt:
Leadership Lessons from the Happiest Place on Earth and Beyond the Wisdom of Walt: Life Lessons from the Most Magical Place on Earth.
These books use Walt Disney's life and legacy to inspire readers to dream bigger, take action, and create their own magic.
