Episode Description

See if you can follow this recipe, will you? Start with one part loving, supportive, and encouraging family who knows how to have fun. Add in one joyful, vivacious kid. Stir in another part tremendous discipline, focus, and determination. Add a dash of entrepreneurial spirit, maybe a little effervescent energy. And what do you suppose you get? In this case, your recipe would yield Gavin Doyle, who found his joy of Main Street USA in Disneyland at age 4 and has cultivated this passion over the years into a very successful business enterprise. Having always had a mind for business, he started with a lemonade stand, later began offering family vacation planning packages to Disney, and then created two popular websites devoted to all things Disney. Now, at age 17, he’s finishing his last year of high school, applying to colleges, and has just published his first book. Kind of makes you wonder – what could you do with the right inspiration and support?
