Robert Brunner co-founded Devereux, a premiere lifestyle apparel brand for golfers everywhere. Devereux first launched in 2013 to bring a fresh take on what was the stale world of golf… and over the years has evolved, significantly. I remember first encountering Robert’s creations at the 2017 PGA Show, I noticed a hat that read G*LF… and another famous quote printed on the back of shirts that you may have seen… PLAY MORE * COMPLAIN LESS...From Devereux’s iconic and fun characters to their brand collaborations with international names like Michelob Ultra, it’s hard not to see Robert’s influence on the game of golf. In this episode, I’m excited to dive into his story, what it was like starting Deveruex, and advice he has for other entrepreneurs in the golf space…

Ube aka @UbeWolf is one if the most authentic, genuine, and talented content creators I’ve ever met and had the pleasure of working with. His eye and creativity for cinematography, photography, and storytelling is incredible.If you’ve been in/around the golf industry for the past few years, it’s NO SURPRISE the industry has seen an influx of content creators and influencers…. NOW, I have no problem with this, ZERO… the attention it puts on the game and thus introducing golf to new audiences is terrific…. BUT, and here’s my but… I do have a small issue with those who are inauthentic and don’t appreciate the game and its magic… They’re simply using golf and it’s popularity for “CLICKS”.UBE IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THIS… He’s worked with some of the biggest names in golf, like Malbon, Wilson Golf, LA Golf, and Students Golf, and he’s inside the ropes at prestigious golf tournaments making content.He and I met last year (online), but the second I saw his work, I knew he was going places and I’m just glad to be along for the ride.

Jacques Slade (AKA @kustoo) has built a LARGE following online. He’s one of, if not the GO-TO reviewer of sneakers. His resume would read musician, composer, producer, YouTuber, and most recently GOLFER... But before Jacques became one of the most influential people in the sneaker world, he was grinding, doing whatever he had to, to follow his passions while making a living.His story of how he went from being fired from his job to attaining over 1 Million Subscribers is remarkable.  He is living proof that every breakdown can cause a breakthrough!  Couple that with his love for golf and how it’s helped him in his life, this chat made for one heck of an episode!! are in for one heck of an episode.

Landon is my "oldest" friend, he and I grew up playing AYSO Soccer, Baseball, and (yes) even golf together. Landon started his career (like many of us) jumping into the corporate working world right out of college... From running marketing campaigns for AEG to commercial production, and even someone who invests in rare metals and coins, Landon has dabbled in an array of business verticals before spawning his "alter ego" AKA the golf fiend: PAROUTMAN.Prior to the pandemic, Landon loved golf. This love had him pick up a camera to capture the beauty of the sport and the people who play it. Over the years, his skill began to sharpen like a finely tuned prison shank (joking)... but seriously, what started out as a hobby evolved into client work from some of the biggest names in golf and some athletes who call golf a "job"! Most recently, his talents have landed him working alongside Erik Anders Lang at Random Golf Club.There's a lot to learn from Landon's story and journey, we hope you enjoy the episode. 

Alex Melillo is a golf fanatic, someone who literally eats, breathes, and lives the game! He not only loves it but he also truly appreciates it and all its magic and gifts.Professionally, Alex has quite an impressive resume, investing, founding, and being an active executive in companies like TOKR, Platform International, Chido, and a brand you may have heard of MALBON GOLF.Alex and I met at the PGA TOUR SHOW in 2019 and immediately hit it off... This was months before MULLIE launched but he quickly supported the idea and offered to help in any way he could. Alex’s generosity and kindness are a true testament to his upbringing and the values and morals his family and likely golf instilled.I'm excited for Alex to share some entrepreneurial advice, fun stories of the early days at MALBON, and the success of his latest venture, CHIDO!

The world of golf is expanding (what seems like) EVERY second… New apparel lines, lifestyle companies, and brands from other industries tapping into golf’s popularity… With all this growth, so too comes an influx of athletes, content creators, and influencers. Now, I’m all about growing the game and spreading its love (DUH) but it does IRK me a little when I see new internet creators fake the funk and claim to be golfers when they have no idea what they’re doing…My next guest is the EXACT opposite of that! Sabrina has been golfing since she was a kid, LONG BEFORE the golf boom took place…. Playing high school golf to then earning a spot on the Barry University golf team…Sabrina is a SELF-PROCLAIMED dramatic golfer… Her passion and love for the sport have propelled her to be one of the dominant YouTube golfers on the internet.This woman not only has game, she has fire, passion, and a zest for life!!

Social media is how we get our news, keep up with trends, stay in touch with friends, and become HEAVILY influenced by strangers and oftentimes convinced into trying and or buying something new...My next guest is an expert in this world. Sean (@golfballed) has not only grown one of the largest golf accounts to date, but he’s also the co-founder of one of the most dominant agencies in the sport that connects brands to content creators, @digitalgolfcollective!Sean’s love for golf had him start the social account @golfballed without any inclination it would turn into a business… As a few years go by, seeing the power of that account, he had the foresight to start an agency, Digital Golf Collective, that represents other influential accounts and connect them to brands that could use the exposure!Sean is a savvy businessman, sharp-minded creator, but above all an amazing human!  I couldn’t be more excited to have Sean on and dive into his love story with golf and the magic that his relationship with it created.

Chris’s love for sneakers and golf has given way to a movement, brand, and company. There's NO question (or debate) about how rapidly golf has grown over the last few years. This expansion has spawned a number of new businesses, creators, and brands… But where did this growth come from? Well, there are a variety of factors but one of them is certainly the influence of pop/sneaker culture…My next guest, and his business, is the epitome of golf-sneaker culture. Chris Whitehead is inspiring and cultivating the golf world one sneaker at a time. His page and business (@TeeUpKicksWithChris) encourage diversity and community in the game via an affinity for sneakers.I’m excited to have Chris on to share his love story with golf.
