Dave Raymond on The Power of Fun!
Original Philly Phanatic, Creator of Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers Mascot, Founder of the Mascot Museum, and Author of the Book, The Power of Fun!
About Dave Raymond
Moving directly from college student to campy green fur-ball, Dave Raymond pioneered the field of sports mascots as the first inhibitor of the world-renowned Phillie Phanatic. Over his sixteen years in the suit, David’s performance as the Phanatic carried the Philadelphia Phillies to World Series victories and unimagined levels of popularity, helping to spawn a revolution in the mascot industry.
Leveraging the unique lessons he learned from the inside out – literally! – Dave made a seamless transition to the world of character branding and mascot training. Since starting Raymond Entertainment nearly twenty years ago, he has overseen the creation and rehabilitation of hundreds of mascots and the brands that support them.
With The Power of Fun, Dave shares his "phantastic" story. Learn how Dave's time as the Phanatic led him to realize that fun's transformative effects are the key to living a happier, healthier, and more productive life.
