oin us for an inspiring and occasionally hilarious chat with Danielle "Dano" Musser, a true Montrose powerhouse. Dano wears enough hats to outfit a small village—she’s the adaptive program director for Montrose Recreation District, SHAPE Teacher of the Year, Montrose Woman of the Year, Special Olympics coach, author, and apparently, someone who never sleeps. In this episode, Dano takes us through the incredible resources the Rec District has rolled out for Montrose County residents, including groundbreaking programs for community members with disabilities. She shares with us how she discovered Montrose, the how to get what you want version of how she met her husband as well as what’s next on her mission to make Montrose more inclusive,. Dano keeps the conversation light and full of her signature wit (and maybe a few stories about coaching chaos). Whether you’re here to learn, laugh, or just be inspired, this episode is for you.
