Summary
In this episode of Case Studies, Casey sits down with Brigham Taylor, longtime Disney film executive and producer behind iconic films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Tron Legacy, and The Jungle Book, for a thoughtful conversation on building a career without a clear roadmap. Brigham shares how an uncertain start at BYU, paired with a deep love for film, led him to pursue opportunities others might overlook. Through early scrappy work, curiosity, and a willingness to stay close to the action, he found himself inside Disney, learning the business from the ground up and eventually helping shape some of the most successful films of a generation. Casey and Brigham explore the role of timing, trust, and relationships in career growth, and why being prepared matters more than having a perfect plan. They also reflect on the mindset required to navigate high-stakes creative environments and evolve beyond a single chapter of success. This episode is a powerful lesson in embracing the unknown and building something meaningful over time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
