We had the good fortune of connecting with Daniel Thiry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daniel, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
There is no blueprint for running a successful business. Each company can come with its own unique set of challenges, and there can often be numerous ways to tackle them. The tricky part is knowing when it is beneficial to explore multiple avenues, and when it is simply more efficient to make quick decisions. Searching for the perfect solution can often leave you frozen with indecision.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Throughout my career I have gotten involved with a wide variety of jobs. My experience ranges from your typical customer service oriented positions, to working with Orangutans, and even designing Escape Rooms. Each one was a unique challenge, which I feel has helped me become extremely well rounded. Through these opportunities, I have learned to tackle projects as they come, and not be intimidated by what I don’t know. I now manage one of the largest entertainment venues in the world, and feel well suited to oversee the huge variety of offerings that we have.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I recently designed our parks newest addition, which is a small speakeasy hidden inside the venue. During my research, I was inspired by the many local speakeasies and bars South Florida has to offer. I currently frequent places like Mama Hank’s, Unit B, Room 901, and other hidden gems. Each one has its own unique, and intimate setting that I thoroughly enjoy.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to recognize my father Michael Thiry. Without him, I would not be the person I am today. He often lead by example, and has constantly shown me how to carry myself with integrity. I am lucky to have grown up with such a strong role model.
