Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

Which former Disney CFO was reportedly approached this past Summer to see if he was possibly interested in replacing Bob Chapek

What role did Ike Perlmutter (i.e., the Chairman of Marvel Entertainment) allegedly play in Bob Chapek coming out on top in the battle to become Bob Iger’s successor

Why – in spite of Disney Cruise Line’s reservations when it came to the Company acquiring the Global Dream – was Bob Chapek still determined to make this deal

How long after Bob Iger became Disney’s CEO back in September of 2005 did he then start his search for a successor

When exactly did Susan Arnold (i.e., Disney’s Chairman of the Board) reportedly reach out to Bob Iger and ask if he’d be willing to return to the Company as Bob Chapek’s replacement
