If he doesn't know the answer, he'll be driven to look it up and find it. And that's not in a "So he can pass the interview" kind of way...he will genuinely be interested in knowing whatever it is that might be in front of him. At least from my perspective. I've never met someone more genuine than Dan. He is truly amazing , and one of the most intelligent persons I've ever met. " and "I've worked with Dan Callahan since the mid-nineties, when we worked closely on public relations plans to use the booming stock market and accompanying expansion of press outlets, to distinguish Minneapolis-based Dain Rauscher Wessels from a crowded field of wealth managers. At the time, I worked in the New York City office of a Minneapolis-based public relations firm and found Dan to be a client who was quick to realize the potential of leveraging the New York office as the epicenter of his firm's public relations strategy. He made sure that trips to the northeast for his analysts would have a media relations component and stayed in close contact to monitor the effectiveness of the stories generated and influence of the editorial meetings scheduled. The strategy resulted in mutually beneficial press relationships and dozens of high-profile stories and citations in national newspapers and television outlets, as well as the emerging venue of internet media. Perhaps in part because of the raised profile, the firm became widely known and was acquired by financial services giant Royal Bank of Canada. Over the past 15 years, we have stayed in contact and often meet to share advice and observations. He remains a close confidante and trusted peer adviser. In short, Dan is a visionary when it comes to identifying emerging opportunities to achieve long-term strategic business goals with effective public relations tactics that build strong results. "
