Take off  your mask: Is your life story worth telling?

Dan Meers, The K.C. Wolf

It’s been said if you ask a man his occupation, you will find out how he pays his bills; but if you ask a man his preoccupation, then you will discover the passion of his life. Dan Meers has a rather unique occupation. For over 25 years, he has paid his bills by working as “KC Wolf”, the mascot of the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. However, Dan’s preoccupation, what he is truly passionate about, is encouraging others to strive for the best in life and to enjoy it each and every step along the way. Dan believes your life is like a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish but you will only get to spend it one time, so spend it wisely. During this presentation, Dan shares some of the valuable lessons he’s learned during his long career as a professional mascot. Whether at home, work or in the community, Dan challenges his audience to live each day to the fullest by wisely investing their lives and not just spending.
