The Friday Feature w/Sean: "Life is like a coin. Spend it wisely."
“Life is like a coin. Spend it wisely.” Dan Meers aka KC Wolf. Welcome to Week #153 of #TheFridayFeature. Dan Meers has been KC Wolf, the mascot of the Kansas City Chiefs, for more than 30 years. Dan goes to work each day like many others, dressed in a suit. The only difference is that instead of wearing a tie with his suit, Dan wears a tail. You see, Dan is a professional mascot. https://danmeers.org/
In 2006 he was selected as the first NFL mascot inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. Dan travels throughout the United States and the world entertaining thousands of people both in and out of costume. He has performed in over 40 states and 12 different countries.
He is in high demand not only as a mascot but also as a humorous and motivational speaker to audiences of all ages. His enthusiasm, optimism and love for life are contagious and make Dan an inspiration to all those he meets.
Be it young or old, executive or blue collar, his audiences walk away with a smile and a renewed spirit to live life to the fullest.
