Each May, the Office of Catholic Education hosts the elementary and high school principals from across the Diocese of Camden for a special event to celebrate the end of another successful school year. As part of the event, the team invites guest speakers to talk with the principals and offer insights and motivation to bring back to their faculties.

For the 2024 meeting, Tom Burgoyne and Evan Marcus, motivational speakers and authors of the book Pheel the Love, were invited to speak, along with a visit from Tom’s special friend, the Philly Phanatic. 

After a busy fall for Tom and Evan, cohosts Marianela Nunez and Michael Bress, were able to sit down with the authors to revisit the principals celebration, talk about the genesis of the book, and how they incorporate the “Pheel the Love” principles in their own lives.

The group also discusses Tom’s path to working with the Philly Phanatic, the friendship Tom and Evan developed through their motivational speaking work and writing the book, and how our Catholic leaders could incorporate the “Pheel the Love” philosophy into their work with teachers, staff and school families.

Tom helps wrap up the podcast sharing great stories about the Philly Phanatic, including a particularly funny story about the famous hot dog launcher.
