Ever since I reached the age where I started thinking realistically about what I wanted to do with my life, the main standard that I set for myself was not working a job where I hated waking up to it every day. I want to enjoy doing what I do every day, and not work a job where I am waiting on retirement. This man perfectly emulates the standards I have set for myself.
Dan Katz, also known as Big Cat and host of Barstool Sports’ podcast Pardon My Take, lives the life and produces the type of content that is enjoyable and makes people smile. His content is relatable to the average American guy.
Katz is an open supporter of the University of Wisconsin, so his thoughts and opinions show up on my Twitter timeline often. Katz is constantly communicating with celebrities on social media and is having fun with his responses.
Being known as the guy that makes people smile is a special value that I believe is tremendously underrated. Katz does this as a presence on Twitter every day.
Lately, Katz has been into talking about sports betting, posting his daily picks and updates throughout the day. As odd as it sounds, it’s entertaining and funny to watch people win and lose money. Katz is in the position where he can mess around and have some fun with it.
Some people believe that this type of work is all fun and no real work. It is both. While Katz does get to comment and joke about the latest happenings and trends in sports and entertainment, there is no doubt that he works to do what he does.
Almost every day, Katz is preparing for what he is going to talk about on his podcast for one-to-two hours. He must find a way to entertain his audience and keep them coming back to his podcast.
Today Katz tweeted, “I’m eating ice cream for dinner.” Some may question why anyone would care what this 33-year-old man is eating, but for some reason, people do. Ice cream brand Haagen-Dazs responded to Katz saying, “which flavor, Dan?”
As a communicator, Katz speaks with very little formality and has his own guidelines for what he posts and talks about. Ultimately, it is a goal of myself to be my own boss. Katz’s ability to entertain people with his own personal agenda and opinions is something that I dream of having the ability to do.
This is something that inspires me when I display my personal brand. I strive to stay clean, but never be too serious. Topics that provide entertainment to people are the things I want to work with. I want to make people happy.
Every day I tell myself, “I would rather work for 60 years and enjoy it than work for 40 years and hate it.” Dan Katz daily routine involves many laughs and fun experiences that make going to work an enjoyable experience.
