New Episode:

Talking about the Comeback. What is the meaning of "Making the Turn"? and how there is a lot of power in the pivot from rock bottom or a dark place or life's messes to rebound in a positive direction.

Settle in. This is a good one. From Tiger Woods, to J.K. Rowling to Fred Smith (FedEx), to my own struggles, I go deep in how to pull yourself up and bounce back.

Enjoy and thanks for Listening.

Well it's been a little bit since I last dropped an episode and I feel very bad about that. I have no excuses and I am going to work on that.

I go in to it all in greater detail in this episode called "The Rebirth" because that's just what it is. I have no idea what direction the podcast will go in but I want to bring it back just like starting over. Thanks for sticking with me and for all the love from back in the day.

Had the pleasure of sitting down with David Elliott and talk about his career and his path to being a part of the setup for the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club. 

It's always great to meet new people and to have a conversation with them and get into a lot of things. We talk about many good topics and get into many of the highs and lows of our business.

It was a great conversation and one that I'm sure you will enjoy.

Back from a long break from sit down conversations and what a way to jump back in. Had the pleasure of visiting Ryan and Stephen at McLemore Golf Club and see all the cool things they have going.

From the new course to Stephen's arrival to the club and the many things planned for the future, we discuss it all.
