Recognize the people in your life that PLAY FULL OUT!

I received this band from Doug himself. Seeing him speak inspired me as to play full out. Even if things are tough there's always something that can be done.

No one is a better "Play Full Out" example than Mac Anderson. His massive success in business is only surpassed by the quality of his character. He has inspired, motivated, and changed the lives of thousands of employees, customers, family and friends, and everything he does is filled with an abundance of grace, elegance, and kindness. I am proud to call him my friend and I aspire to be more like him in every way.

I was given my band by Doug at a company leadership retreat. We did an exercise where we were challenged to break a 1 inch pine board with our bare hands despite no karate training. The energy in the room as everyone cheered and supported each other was impressive and uplifting — it was a great example of what a supportive team should feel like.

[This was the first story posted on PlayFullOutOnline.com] I received this band during Camp 2013 in Colorado. Thanks Doug.

Hi! My name is Alexandra and I work for a major German Airline in Frankfurt, Germany. Today, while working at a Gate for a - as usual - fully booked and busy flight to India, Doug Hanson came to my counter. We had a really nice and also very joyful conversation, during which I was able to help him getting a bettet seat than the middle middle middle (remember?) one he had before. Just this few words made my busy and stressful day brighter and brought a smile on my face! Right before boarding Doug came up to my counter and gave me the purple band, explaining what it was for and why I received it! Wow - what an amazing idea! Thank you for this special gift - it made my day a unique and special one! Cheers from Germany and have a wonderful day! Alexandra

After I received my band, I told my 10 year old daughter the whole story and the meaning behind it and explained that it was something that I would then give away. She was so excited and asked me nearly every day who I was going to give the band to. I kept telling her that I had no idea, but that I would just know who that right person was. My daughter was in her first play when she was 6 years old. She was the cutest munchkin in the Wizard of Oz that I had ever seen (in my biased opinion...)! But what really struck me during the production process was how her director, Miss Tiffany, was with those kids. By show time, everyone of them, all the way down to the 6 year olds, knew exactly where they needed to be and what they needed to do. It was amazing to see how much they learned and knew. And my daughter had the time of her life. So we continued to do plays with Miss Tiffany once or twice a year and this summer was #6. But it was during the #5 production when I just knew. I have gradually gotten to know Tiffany over these last 4-5 years and everything I have learned about her is extraordinary. Tiffany believes that the arts and arts education is essential to our kids - and she has been teaching kids for about 15 years. In every interaction I have seen with the kids (including mine) there is so much love and patience. But she also expects the kids to give everything they have, to participate, and to grow. She engages with the kids, she gives them everything she has, and then she gives them a little more. Tiffany is the kind of person I love working with and spending time with my child. She brings out something really special in her - and I can see that the kids bring out something really special in Tiffany. She is dedicated to them and thrives on the art she is instilling in them. If there is anyone I have ever met that Plays Full Out, who lives what she believes and who is present in all she does, it is Tiffany Tiffany - from the bottom of my heart, thank you for being in our lives. You have touched us and changed us in the best possible way. Jayda and I love you so much!!
