Episode 14: David McKillips

But what I want to go back to, David, and it's so fun to hear the story.

And there's so many incredible entry level jobs out there that what I love about what you just said is that the way you felt when you saw that family having fun at SeaWorld.

And I think at the end of the day, that is so much about why I started this whole project about joy, because we all need a little bit of joy in our lives.

And it's so fun.

It really is rewarding.

And it's fun to see families with those smiles on their face.

And it is so funny.

I keep looking at Chucky over your shoulder here.

And it's hard not to smile when you see Chucky sitting over your shoulder there, right? It's

crazy.

This business is so incredible.

we're so fortunate enough and I've been fortunate enough for now 30 years that, you know, we all have our challenges inside the office and especially when you're in a corporate environment.

And I say in our town halls to our folks who say, you know what, if you're having a tough day and if you're stressed out a little bit, leave the office and go to one of our fun centers, go to one of our restaurants and just sit there and have a pizza and watch the kids just go bananas when Chuck E.

Cheese comes out.

And like, this is what we do for a living and it's really great.

And this industry right now is so exciting.

And it's moving so fast and it's evolving so fast.

If you look at where, you know, golf was many years ago, it was just, you know, traditional sport.

And now the world of entertainment and entertainment has combined with golf.

And you look at some of the great new concepts like putt shack and pop stroke.

I mean, it's great.

You don't have to be a diehard athlete or golfer.

You just enjoy yourself.

Pickleball is another great one.

Like a ball and ax throwing.
