Dan Morrison is the founder of Happy, Not Satisfied, host of the Happy, Not Satisfied podcast, founder of Morrison Creative LLC, and program coordinator for the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps.
Using the framework for creating and building culture in his former career as Director of Bands at Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio, where he led the organization to performances in the Macy’s and Rose Parades and unprecedented competitive success, Dan applies his coaching mindset to help others find joy in the process of continuous growth.
Under Dan’s leadership and creative direction at Reagan from 2015-2021, the band won several of the most competitive marching arts contests in the country, and in 2019 set the record for the highest score in BOA Regional/Super Regional history. In addition, the band performed in the Macy’s Parade in New York City, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California as well as at The Midwest Clinic, an international conference in Chicago, Illinois. He was named the 2020 Young Band Director of the Year in the state of Texas.
Dan attributes his professional success to the Happy, Not Satisfied® mindset that he spent 11 years cultivating as a high school band director. He diligently instilled the ideals of the mindset in thousands of students and saw firsthand the undeniably positive impact these values had on them, not just in band, but in all areas of their lives.
This same mindset has helped him overcome roadblocks in his personal life, leading to stronger mental and physical health, more meaningful relationships, and a more positive outlook on life. Dan now uses the Happy, Not Satisfied approach to help others live a healthier, happier, more productive, and more fulfilling life as host of the Happy, Not Satisfied podcast and as a public speaker.
Dan has an MBA from the USC Marshall School of Business and lives in San Antonio, Texas.
Happy, Not Satisfied® is more than a mindset, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a community for those who find joy in the process of continuous growth. What started as a coaching tool for high school band students on their journey to record-setting success blossomed into a universal message for anyone pursuing personal and professional improvement.
