What are the moments that truly define us?

In this episode of Behind the Roar, Lion Zach Wosmek sits down with Lion Daniel Marney Elkins for a conversation rooted in reflection, connection, and purpose.

Daniel shares the key moments that shaped his leadership journey—those experiences that didn’t just influence what he does, but who he is. Along the way, we explore the people he’s met, the relationships that have stayed with him, and the lessons that continue to guide his path.

But this episode isn’t just about looking back—it’s about building forward.

Daniel is doing incredible work connecting Lions across the country through WhatsApp groups and his involvement with the Lions of the United States network. What he’s building goes beyond communication—it’s about creating a stronger, more unified community of service.

This conversation is a reminder that leadership is often formed in small, meaningful moments—and that real impact comes from bringing people together.

Before the stories… there was a reason.

This first Between the Roars episode shares the “why” behind Behind the Roar.

In the very first episode of Behind the Roar, Lion Zach Wosmek is joined by Council Chair Elect and current District Governor of 5M4, Susan Krumrey, for a candid conversation reflecting on their shared year of leadership.

Together, they go beyond the reports and into the real experience—what surprised them, the moments that stood out, the challenges that shaped them, and the people and projects that reminded them why Lions service matters.

This isn’t just a recap of the year—it’s a look at what leadership feels like behind the scenes.

🦁 Every act of service has a story… and this is just the beginning.
