Writer and speaker Dan Klein began the My 3:59 movement with the dunk of a basketball. It was just after his 42nd birthday but much more meaningful than his age was that it occurred seven months after his final cancer treatment. After going through everything cancer puts you through-physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually-I came away with a different perspective on life. A very different perspective on what I can and what I can't do." Going through cancer as a husband and father of four young children and facing the possibility of his life coming to an end, Dan made it his mission to live a life of approaching each day as it is so appropriately named: the present. Treating every day as a gift from God has allowed Dan to accomplish things he never dreamed he could do. Since the dunk there have been marathons, starting his own business, finally taking the family on the long road trip out West, and learning to play the guitar. But the most significant impact of Dan's My3:59 approach to life is that he has inspired people around him to set their own 3:59's. And the 3:59 movement began. Dan uses cancer as a proxy for any and all of the challenges we face in life. The story of his journey, and his message of determination, vision, and purpose resonates with a wide variety of people. Dan is a sought-after keynote speaker and works with corporate leadership and sales teams. He has spoken at a wide variety of venues, ranging from national conferences, sales conferences, religious retreats, and even small country churches. Dan's message of living every day and giving everything you have to achieve your impossible in order to become the person we are called to be continues to inspire and motivate others to achieve their own My 3:59.
