#27 Japan, Disney, Pandemics and Tap Dancing

Send the show a text here!

Today I am excited to share a conversation I had with my lifelong best friend James Drew Stanley. We grew up together in a swampy little dirt road town north of Orlando and we've remained tight throughout the years. Drew has worked for Disney and other companies as a professional dancer/entertainer for most of his life and spent much of the last two years working for Disney Tokyo. His second contract ended early as the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading across the world. He gives us an inside look at Disney entertainment, what Japanese culture is like, what he felt as an American visiting Hiroshima and what it's like being a professional performer in a time when public performances have nearly ground to a halt, just to name a few topics we cover. I love my friend and I love this conversation, I hope you will too!
This is the first in-person conversation I've had for the show since the pandemic began so there's some growing pains associated with me re-learning the ropes of the technical side (like making sure my guest's mic is actually turned on before we get halfway through the conversation) and trying to record video at the same time (video will be released later this afternoon, I have to spend more time editing it together after work today) but overall the sound quality is decent for the first half and great for the second half, and it doesn't diminish the quality of the conversation at all. Thank you everyone for being patient with me as I teach myself this. Not everyone can afford a Jamie. =P
Liking, subscribing and sharing is the best way to help spread conversation that cuts through the noise.
