Goated Podcast Episode 24 - Goated Friendsgiving
Description
Gratitude hits different when you’re building something real! We brought our entire crew together for a Thanksgiving Friendsgiving and opened the mic to the people who shaped this faith‑driven golf brand—from Kevin's spouse who weathered sleepless launches to the co‑founder who turned a visionary’s chaos into systems that scale. You’ll hear how an Airbnb podcast became a full production, why hiring for your weaknesses is a non‑negotiable, and how golf’s integrity code—own your mistakes—became our business playbook.
We swap road stories with a former PGA Tour caddie turned business developer who found purpose beyond the ropes, dive into the “Swiss army knife” mindset with the technologist behind our app and e‑com stack, and geek out with our master clubmaker on the nerdy heart of performance: shafts, swing weights, and tolerances. Community leaders share redemption and accountability, from breaking addiction to building local networks that actually serve people. And yes, we talk freedom, family, and why Southwest Florida’s culture of responsibility and generosity keeps drawing doers together.
Threaded through it all is a steady center: God first, people always. A father with fifty years in ministry reminds us that trials train character, gratitude is a discipline, and influence means little without integrity. If the holidays feel heavy, you’ll find a hopeful word and a practical invitation to reach out, reconnect, and remember what lasts. Press play for a fast-moving, heartfelt ride through entrepreneurship, faith, golf, and the kind of team you can build a life around.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find stories like these.
