From animating some of the most iconic films of all time to painting for the Dalai Lama and co-founding a tech startup, Dave Zaboski has spent a lifetime turning thoughts into things - and teaching others to do the same. Dave reflects on his time inside Disney's second golden age, what it means to "solve for the light," and why culture matters more than process when building high-performing creative teams. We talk about 'plussing', power, and presence - and how real collaboration needs care as much as skill. Dave shares lessons from leaving Disney to follow a deeper calling, and why he believes AI must be guided by human intention, not simulation. A conversation full of warmth, wisdom, and creative truth. Written by Awaiting Approval See less
