Your Evolution of Happiness starts here
Whether your company culture falls on the quirky or corporate side of things, every one of your employees is a human being (on and off the clock) who can benefit from a few hours of inspiring, honest, empathetic guidance–straight from the mouth of the Hero of Happiness himself.
Happy. Fulfilled. Inspired. Creative. Productive. That’s the goal!
But what happens when life gets hard?
Your employees may try to leave their personal problems at home, putting on a brave face to get the job done. (Maybe, this person is even you). Sometimes we cope by stuffing another version of ourselves deep inside, operating from within a smile-plastered suit, madly flailing while trying to hold it all together and perform for the crowd. (Hold onto that image–there’ll be more on that later.)
But when you’re just masking and coping, you can’t also be growing or thriving–which is exactly why your audience is ready for their own personal Evolution of Happiness.
It’s time to show—not just tell—your employees that you care about them. It’s time to bring in the Hero of Happiness to help them unlock the life changing Power of Fun® process!
Dave Raymond
The Hero of Happiness
Happiness Thought Leader
Dave Raymond has been dubbed the Hero of Happiness by national media outlets. With “The Power of Fun” process, he teaches audiences how to leverage the simple but life-changing tools that he’s picked up during a long career–backed by brain science, but learned in real-time, with feet to the fire. (You’ll never guess where).
Dave brings an infectious energy that reaches out and connects to the audience as humans first, drawing on his expertise in engineering human happiness and some serious non-verbal communication skills that your audience will love.
Speaking Career
Dave’s speaking career has allowed him to influence thousands, leaving a trail of laughter, transformed lives, (and a few tufts of fur) in his wake.
In his memorable The Power of Fun!® keynote, he outlines a simple process—a ground-breaking, data-backed theory about fun—that actually changed his life, and has the potential to change yours too.
He entertains audiences with hilarious anecdotes from his performance career, where he spent sixteen years as the man inside the original Phillie Phanatic.
But Dave will be the first to tell you, it wasn’t always fur and games. His Evolution of Happiness began with hardship when divorce, parental loss, and depression crept into his life.
(That’s where Dave learned all this, by the way–while literally operating from inside a costume, flailing away and letting the healing power of laughter and fun transform the person inside who was suffering.)
(See? I told you we’d get back to that.)

I can’t thank you enough!!! What an awesome session and follow-up chat. This is my 22nd Conference with CMAA and you rank up there with Louis Zamperini, Amy Purdy and Nichole Malachowski as my favorite speakers. Thank you for everything!
Since the inception of ThurMo, we’ve brought in many top speakers. When people ask me who our best speaker was, without hesitation I say: Dave Raymond. The Power of Fun! speech is simply awesome! It electrified the room and captivated an audience that’s been spoiled by hearing all of the best speakers in our region.
Thanks again for making our all-employee meeting the best one we can remember. There have been so many positive comments about your keynote floating around our offices today. Even our invited community partners were raving about it. Terrific job!
Thank you for the outstanding job you did at the event! I’ve heard so much praise about both the keynote speech and workshop! One of our sponsors actually got emotional while telling us how your speech hit home professionally and personally. How dead-on your message was—it hit deep and was fun at the same time!
This was the absolute best message given at any meeting I have ever been to as a teacher, administrator or football coach (27 years). Great job Dave!
“You were absolutely wonderful to work with every step of the way. I had one gentleman who was in tears about how your message touched his heart after he battled cancer for the past year and another gentleman whom remarked, “I want my teenager to read his book – this is the message that more people need in such a stressful world”.
“Thank you for sharing your passion, your energy, and your commitment to the power of distracting fun and to the idea that humans can intentionally make a difference in how happy they are. You are an inspiration.”
A thank you from me and our whole staff. Your approachability and kindness towards us was genuinely appreciated. I felt like I was bringing an assembly line of individuals in to meet you, but you took time to speak and relate to each of them.
You were so kind and sooo good! I am going to personally introduce you to all of my colleagues and let them know they have to bring you in to speak to their teams! Thank you!
Your keynote at our leadership retreat was the perfect fit! We have received such fantastic feedback, everyone enjoyed the message! We look forward to our continued partnership and are excited about your program for our Achiever Summit in 2025!
Your presentation was fantastic! Everyone has raved about it and we truly appreciate you being our keynote speaker for MUD this year.. It was wonderful to meet you, as well.
