Writing His New Book, Dear Bishop

At 1:28:05 · chapter starts 1:25:44

Colton explains the genesis of Dear Bishop: a practice he and Jordan share of writing emails to their son's email address after every notable moment — first roll-over, first headbutt, first 'dude.' That collection of dispatches crystallised into a short audio book narrated entirely in Colton's voice. He's transparent about its dual purpose: part time capsule for Bishop, part accountability document from himself. His first book contained 'safety lies' — omissions that protected him when he wasn't ready to be fully honest. Dear Bishop corrects the record, addressed directly to a child not yet old enough to hear some of it. Paul calls it inspiring for all parents and suggests dads especially should consider recording audio voice notes of their children's milestones.

Howard Ashman and the Broadway Formula That Made Disney Billions

Disney: The Renaissance and the Empire · Aug 10, 2026 Arts

Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.

Lion King: The Musical Is the Highest-Grossing Entertainment Product in History

Disney: The Renaissance and the Empire · Aug 10, 2026 Arts

The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
