About this episode

In today’s episode, we speak to Dave Raymond, CEO of two successful businesses and known for pioneering the field of sports mascots with his innovative inhabitation of the world-renowned Phillie Phanatic!  He was the original Phanatic, and his vision and performance skillset spawned a revolution in the mascot industry. Raymond went on to become the founder of The Mascot Hall of Fame.   Additionally, using the Phanatic as his muse, he created a theory called the "Power of Fun" for increased happiness and productivity. We’ll dive into Dave’s journey, including: 

  • Using fun as a powerful tool to combat life’s challenges and become happier. 
  • Examples of enlightened leadership, and how culture can drive success when FUN is a core value. 
  • How fun can be a universal force that improves your life.  
  • Some of Dave’s stories from behind the scenes and performing at Veterans Stadium.  

If you’re looking to boost confidence, work on personal growth, and hear how people can become the best version of themselves utilizing the Power of Fun -- you’ll want to tune into this episode. Thank you for listening. This is your Morning Mindset.
