Someday, we will hear about Roy... who carried on... balanced books... made things happen... in the real world. A hidden hero that doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. And he finished Disney World and died 2 months later after giving up his retirement to make it so. Crushing really.
This! And the fact he changed the name to Walt Disney World to make sure everyone knew who the man behind the dream was, selflessly dismissing the man behind the completion of the project. He literally gave up a part of his life for his brother's legacy. Big respect to Roy
I was thinking that too. The video spent almost no time focused on Roy’s passing. It’s sad because behind every insane rich person surrounded by yes men, there are the people that keep them in check. The people who literally have to learn their psychology in order to keep them realistic while not making them mad. The people that basically have to babysit the “visionaries“ those people should get more appreciation because the visionaries could never exist without them.
I’m not trying to be controversial, but think of someone like Elon musk. Constantly gets enthusiastic about ideas that could never work, lies about how science works, etc. there are many people who work with him that literally have to learn how to keep his tantrums at bay so that they can have him around while keeping the company functioning. Imagine if those people also had the same temper.
They would just get fired. The only people who are allowed to get away with being so ridiculous are the people who are viewed as true visionaries even if that image is largely fake. We know so much about Elon Musk but we don’t know about the people who keep him at bay to keep things functioning
