Read "Me, myself, and Bob" by Phil Vischer per @SamuelPLively's recommendation. Gave me a lot to think and pray on. Phil sought to become the Christian Disney. And was not enough. And he is a greater man than I by quite a lot.

But even Walt wasn't Disney. Disney worked because Walt's brother Roy was a hard-headed businessman, and they two worked in balanced tension.

I submit that the hard part will be finding another Roy; the creative side is easy enough, but MBAs seem to be either poison pills, pushing leftist ideology, or utterly uninterested in the art side.

Key is Walt & Roy's brotherhood. Roy wanted Walt to bring his dreams to fruition and Walt knew this. This, then, was the context of every time Walt proposed a thing and Roy said "no." The knowledge that the "no" came from a desire to make the dream happen.

It is not enough to pair off logisticians with artists. The pairs must believe in each other.
