1971 – Roy O. Disney, American banker and businessman, co-founded The Walt Disney Company (b. 1893)

As the sun rose over Los Angeles in the early days of the 20th century, few could have predicted that a young boy born in 1893 would help usher in an era of enchantment and imagination that would redefine entertainment for generations. Roy O. Disney, the son of a farmer, grew up surrounded by stories and dreams little did he know, these would be crucial ingredients for what was to become The Walt Disney Company.

In his formative years, Roy developed a knack for business. He wasn’t merely interested in his father’s farm; rather, he yearned to understand how money flowed through society. However, ambition often comes with challenges. At just 16 years old, Roy had to leave school to help support his family during difficult times a move that shaped not only his character but also his future endeavors.

Years later, during World War I, he served as a soldier in the United States Navy. Ironically, it was amidst the chaos of war where he found clarity; this experience instilled in him a deep sense of discipline and purpose that would guide him through life's challenges ahead.

A pivotal moment occurred when Roy took charge after negotiating vital contracts solidifying control over branding rights across diverse merchandise platforms which contributed immensely towards building brand loyalty long-term!
