1
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:01,468
My name is Jeff McMullen

2
00:00:01,535 --> 00:00:03,871
also known as Santa Mac.

3
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:05,572
In 2023 I was

4
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:06,373
inducted into the

5
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,008
International
Santa Claus

6
00:00:08,075 --> 00:00:09,109
Hall of Fame.

7
00:00:09,176 --> 00:00:10,110
I'm the first and only

8
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:11,879
from Wisconsin,

9
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:12,646
when you first put on the

10
00:00:12,713 --> 00:00:14,748
red suit,
you go, oh, okay.

11
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:16,583
And this is kind of fun.

12
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:17,317
And then somebody

13
00:00:17,384 --> 00:00:18,051
calls you Santa.

14
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:18,785
And quite often
that's where

15
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,921
people's development stops.

16
00:00:20,988 --> 00:00:22,656
But there's so much more.

17
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:25,559
Kringle U is a training company.

18
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:27,361
And we do both

19
00:00:27,427 --> 00:00:29,062
online training as well as

20
00:00:29,129 --> 00:00:30,597
face to face training.

21
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:32,266
You have to have fun being Santa

22
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:33,500
How how can you not?

23
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:35,636
Seeing the jolly old elf

24
00:00:35,702 --> 00:00:37,604
that 1745 years old.

25
00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:41,041
This is a great thing to be.

26
00:00:41,108 --> 00:00:42,109
What I didn't want to do

27
00:00:42,176 --> 00:00:43,477
is create a university

28
00:00:43,544 --> 00:00:44,811
so that I'm turning out

29
00:00:44,878 --> 00:00:46,146
30 little Jeff MacMullens

30
00:00:46,213 --> 00:00:47,147
every year.

31
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:49,082
my skills, my knowledge base,

32
00:00:49,149 --> 00:00:50,217
into usable information

33
00:00:50,284 --> 00:00:50,784
that people

34
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,052
can come and learn from

35
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:53,687
and then use to develop

36
00:00:53,754 --> 00:00:55,889
their own characters.
