00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, this is jury Alchimiste from Carmel, California. I

2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>play at Laguna Saka Golf Branch. This is Golf Smarter

3
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Episode nine six two.

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.480
<v Speaker 2>We know our coaches so well we can help direct

5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>you to a specific coach. But the experience as a

6
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>whole is you can get on the app and you

7
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>can go scroll through yourself all their biographies, what their

8
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 2>costs are, and they have any content. You can get

9
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.119
<v Speaker 2>a piece of that content and experience them and you're

10
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>going to get better no matter where you are in

11
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>the world. We've had people taking lessons in airports, hitting

12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>balls into lakes, hitting it in the forest, in the

13
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 2>fields and kitchens and living rooms, in backyards and garages.

14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>It's really been all over the map on where a

15
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.960
<v Speaker 2>golf Live lesson has been taken, and it's been a

16
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun to watch. We had a coach from

17
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Australia giving a little girl in China a live golf lesson.

18
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>She was twelve years old. How impactful is that?

19
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Live remote golf lessons takes a giant leap forward with

20
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.560
<v Speaker 3>the Golf Live app by founder Keith Sealing. This is

21
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Golf Smarter, sharing stories, tips and insights from great golf

22
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:20.640
<v Speaker 3>minds to help you lower your score and raise your

23
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 3>golf IQ.

24
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, Fred Green.

25
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to the Golf Smarter podcast. Keith. Hello, Fred, good

26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>to have you on the show.

27
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having me. Great to see you.

28
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, good to see you too. And I'm very intrigued

29
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 3>by your new product because there's been other products out

30
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.519
<v Speaker 3>there that seem to be similar, but you're saying yours

31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 3>is not. So the product is an app for iPhone

32
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 3>or Android.

33
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Chris, Yes, that's correct, and.

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 3>That it is for the average golfer to get lessons

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 3>without leaving the comfort of their own hitting bay.

36
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 2>That is exactly right, and much more and much more.

37
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, it was great talking to you, Keith.

38
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for all that explanation. And now

39
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.199
<v Speaker 3>tell me about It's called golf Live App, right, Yes.

40
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Golf Live app, and yes you can download it in

41
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>either app stores. But we provide live virtual golf instruction

42
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>at a level that's never been seen before. And that's

43
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 2>just the tip of the iceberg, quite honestly. So, whether

44
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>you're a coach that wants a tool that allows you

45
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to consolidate five apps into one, because it's not just

46
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 2>a live lesson. We also have a sync lessons and

47
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>sending the pre recorded videos back and forth. We have

48
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 2>payment processing, We have the calendar integration, We have a marketplace.

49
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 2>We have live streaming where you create your own content

50
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and it posts on your profile just like a YouTube channel,

51
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>and people can subscribe to your channel there and be

52
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>able to scale your name. But also where our patents

53
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>come into play is the ability to our coaches can

54
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>record the student in real time while they're on a

55
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 2>live FaceTime call. So imagine and it's not a FaceTime

56
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>it's all in the app, but imagine you're on a

57
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>FaceTime call and your coach actually records your swing immediately

58
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 2>plays it back for you with the drawing and annotation

59
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>tools so you can actually see what they're talking about

60
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>and see your live replay. And then they can pull

61
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 2>up the side by side from your lesson last week

62
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>or tiger Wood swing or whatever it might be, and

63
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>do side by side of your swing you just did

64
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and be able to compare the two and then okay,

65
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get off of that and now we're

66
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>back to the live call. We're going to go have

67
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 2>an hour long or three hour long or ten minute

68
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>less and whatever it is. The entirety of that call

69
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>is actually going to record and save, and all the

70
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>live replays you were doing along the way are also

71
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>organized and saved separately so you can quickly go to them.

72
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>So it creates a very interactive, very impactful experience, as

73
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 2>if you're sitting there at the range with you know,

74
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 2>with your student with your phone, you do this and

75
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>then say hey, come here and look at this. Right,

76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>We've created that even if your country's away, which we

77
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 2>have coaches at Coach Country, you know, across borders here,

78
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>so it's it's never really been done before.

79
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean the apps that I've heard of and

80
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm aware of that we've talked about in the past

81
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 3>are the kind of things where you record your video

82
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 3>and you send it to the teacher and they'll get

83
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 3>back to you that you're saying. The big difference here

84
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 3>is everything is live. You're getting a one hour let's

85
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 3>just call it a one hour lesson with a coach

86
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 3>in real time.

87
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so some of our competitors, they might send these

88
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>ACNC videos what we call and what you're talking about

89
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 2>there back and forth to each other, right, right, and

90
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and that's and then maybe they'll say, hey, let's get

91
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>on a zoom call to me. Well, all of ours

92
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>is all in one place, and so all this is live.

93
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>In between your sessions, your live sessions, you will be

94
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:10.160
<v Speaker 2>sending those async videos back and forth and getting a

95
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>voiceover analysis okay, and check ins and whatnot. We also

96
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have on demand calling. So let's say your coach and

97
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 2>you are texting on the app, say hey, can you

98
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.199
<v Speaker 2>get a call for five minutes? Yeah, yeah, sure, I'm

99
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>available in ten minutes. Let's help on a call. They

100
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>just call you really fast, and instead of pulling up

101
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>FaceTime or WhatsApp, whatever it might be, you're pulling up

102
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>a video call with our technology and embedded into it,

103
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>right and so, and then that call will record and

104
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 2>say so it's not a schedule lesson, but it's just

105
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.079
<v Speaker 2>like you're texting your coach, you know, at the club.

106
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>And so we got all these different touch points to

107
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>make sure it feels like you have a twenty four

108
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to seven coach even though you're not on tour.

109
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's a huge difference. I meanlogy, maybe you're the

110
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 3>first one to do it, but you're not going to

111
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 3>be the last obviously.

112
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, no, you're exactly right. And so we're we're

113
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>staying ahead of the game here. We've got a lot

114
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 2>of fun features coming out, and we're actually integrating right

115
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 2>now Launch Monitor technology into it as well. So while

116
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 2>you're on the live call, if your student has this

117
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>specific launch monitor, all their data will populate for the coach,

118
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 2>even though so it's literally like you're in a bay

119
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 2>with them.

120
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 3>But the sense that I get from what the way

121
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 3>you're describing it, this is not just an app for instructors.

122
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Correct, So we all is right. So we service the

123
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>really the whole ecosystem, and that's what I like to

124
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 2>tell people is we are a complete ecosystem turn key

125
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 2>for wherever you are in your profession or in golf,

126
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and so we service the golf coaches and coaches that

127
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 2>are interested in getting rid of five different apps on

128
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.279
<v Speaker 2>your phone, whether it be for video storage, calendar, payment processing, etc.

129
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>We do it all for you in one place, so

130
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.959
<v Speaker 2>you're not confusing your students. And so we're always taking

131
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.519
<v Speaker 2>on new coaches and they might just use it with

132
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>their current clients. They might not need our marketplace at all,

133
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>They just need a more efficient tool for their in

134
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>person lessons, because we also do in person lessons with

135
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 2>our platform as well. And so if you're a student

136
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.399
<v Speaker 2>and you see me in person, I can do all

137
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.959
<v Speaker 2>your videos, all of your calendar integration and scheduling and

138
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>payment processing with the club, whatever it might be. We

139
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>can do all that right there in person and store

140
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 2>all of your data on your profile. So wherever you

141
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 2>are as in your phase of your career as a coach,

142
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 2>we can serve you as a golfer. We have PGA

143
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>level guys all the way to one hundred you shooting

144
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and thirty on here. And so whether you

145
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>have a coach you like, or whether you want to

146
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>come to our marketplace and go and search all the

147
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>different coaches, we currently have a little over three hundred

148
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and eighty seven coaches in twelve countries that you can

149
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 2>pick from. So that portion, we want to grow the game,

150
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>one golf at a time. And I'll get into my

151
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>story here in a little bit, but we also service

152
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>companies and we set up in commercial towers and create

153
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>a golf activation for the entire company or the entire tower,

154
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 2>and they can go downstairs and at lunchtime get a

155
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>golf loss.

156
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 3>WHOA So who do you see as your closest competitor

157
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 3>that are not just in function, but is like when

158
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.080
<v Speaker 3>you look at the list of the golf apps, the

159
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>golf instruction app to you, like number one on the

160
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.559
<v Speaker 3>list is fill in the blank here.

161
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to talk about my competitors games.

162
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh, well, there's this one that has an app that

163
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 3>looks like that.

164
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's Look, there's there's a there's a lot of

165
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>what we're doing is completely different. And and so I'm

166
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 2>very realistic in the fact that when I'm talking to people,

167
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I do list out company A, company B, company C.

168
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.879
<v Speaker 2>What we've done, though, is grab the core of what

169
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>they do, the core of what they do, the core

170
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of what they do, and we've got our own patents

171
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 2>and we've uniquely put it all into one package. And

172
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>so when you talk about a SYNC lessons, Okay, there's

173
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Speaker 2>a couple of apps out there for ACNC lessons, I'll

174
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and name those. But when you when you

175
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.799
<v Speaker 2>look at a skill store and on form right, they

176
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>do a lot of a SYNC and I'm sure that

177
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:51.279
<v Speaker 2>they do some other things as well, and and they

178
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>do it very very well. Okay, I love the guys

179
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 2>at on form. Great, great guys.

180
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:56.279
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

181
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Whenever you look at a coach that has an Instagram

182
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.519
<v Speaker 2>or a YouTube, right, well, they don't monetize that very well,

183
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 2>and we inside of Golf Live can actually help them

184
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 2>monetize that. So now we're grabbing. I'm not saying we're YouTube,

185
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying we're Instagram. But we do live streaming

186
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 2>with our live replay. So it's a very interactive live

187
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 2>stream and these coaches can have guests on and give

188
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>golf lessons while the whole world watches a live golf

189
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 2>lesson with live replay and annotation and all that kind

190
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. And so it's a totally different level of

191
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 2>a live stream than just going on Insta live. And

192
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>so what we've done is now you can go host

193
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 2>your content here and have your followers come here and

194
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>subscribe to you for just this level of content because

195
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 2>we do multi tier subscriptions and coaches they create their

196
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 2>own business. We have no control of that. You want

197
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.039
<v Speaker 2>your package to be worth five dollars or five thousand dollars, right,

198
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.639
<v Speaker 2>they pick all that. And then you go look at

199
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 2>a Calende. Right, Well, if you're coach and you're paying

200
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Calendar or you're paying Zoom because you use Zoom so

201
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>much for so many online lessons. I mean, we do

202
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 2>all that, and so uh, that's that's really whenever you

203
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.039
<v Speaker 2>talk about competitors, we tried, we tried our best to

204
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>create one ecosystem, one stop shop. You come here and

205
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to leave again.

206
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 3>You got into this space knowing that there was competition

207
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 3>out there, whether we mention their names or not. But

208
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 3>what was it that you felt like you hit upon

209
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 3>and said, Okay, I've got it? And how did you?

210
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what what got it going for you?

211
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 2>What?

212
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>How did you develop this?

213
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, to be honest with you, back when I

214
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>uh was a junior in college, my little brother passed

215
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>away and I appreciate it, and he was the golf

216
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>for the family. And I really started golfing a lot

217
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>as my therapy, right, and I really got addicted to

218
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>the game. And my family's overly competitive, all of our cousins.

219
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And we created a golf tournament that you know, we

220
00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.679
<v Speaker 2>went to every year and it's, you know, way more

221
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 2>competitive than it should be. And I was working at

222
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:25.519
<v Speaker 2>a fortune five hundred company, you know, and married kids

223
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 2>and so it was tough to get a golf lesson,

224
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 2>tough to get better at the game of golf, but

225
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I love to go out there and play it. And

226
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I was getting worse as I had more kids and

227
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, job and career, right, but there had to

228
00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>be a better way. Well, I went out the Wednesday

229
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>before I left town for my cousin's golf tournament and

230
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.679
<v Speaker 2>developed the s word out there at eight o'clock at

231
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>night on the range. You know, kids were asleep. I

232
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>went down to the range and here come these balls that,

233
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>don't you know, feel good? Look good? And I'm headed

234
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 2>out there. Yeah, yeah, that on.

235
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>We know that because as you're speaking, your hand is

236
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 3>flying off to the right.

237
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I get in trouble when I say

238
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>that word out loud a lot of times.

239
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 3>So with your own game, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have

240
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 3>a problem with saying do you want me to say it?

241
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 3>Soone knows what we're talking about.

242
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>I developed the shanks. I developed the shanks.

243
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh that ass word that one I was thinking of?

244
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh okay, yeah, Well developed the shanks right there

245
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>on the range eight o'clock. It's a lit up range

246
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm driving the next morning to our cousin's golf tournament,

247
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I went on to one of our competitor,

248
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>our current competitors today's platform to figure out. I was like,

249
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 2>there's got to be somebody around the world that can

250
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>help me right now. I know it's late there, it's

251
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>it's two pm somewhere, and a coach can help me.

252
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>And it just didn't exist. I mean the app that

253
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I went to, a guy responded to me and gave

254
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 2>me a thirty three second you know, voice over lesson.

255
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I think it was like forty eight eight or seventy

256
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.120
<v Speaker 2>two hours after our tournament was already done, and I

257
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, there has to be a way to just

258
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>hop on a call with somebody, and then it helped

259
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>me through this. But it's got to be if you're

260
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.039
<v Speaker 2>going to make a company out of it, it's got

261
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to be more efficient than FaceTime, which is where the

262
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 2>live replay came in. And really before COVID started, I

263
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>had this idea in my head. I'm a busy professional,

264
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 2>but there's got to be a better way to get

265
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>better at this dang game and not let stuff like

266
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 2>that happen. And so prior to COVID, hitting we started

267
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.639
<v Speaker 2>mapping it out and really putting a pin to paper here,

268
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:45.000
<v Speaker 2>and I emailed out about two hundred PGA professionals and said, hey,

269
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>would you ever consider coaching in a live virtual format

270
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>in this manner? And I only had two people respond

271
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.559
<v Speaker 2>to me a little discouraged, but I kept on going.

272
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>March comes along in twenty twenty and covid really shuts

273
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 2>everything down. We didn't have anything built yet, we were

274
00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>working on it, but my inbox flooded with hey did

275
00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.080
<v Speaker 2>you ever build that internet thing? Right? All right?

276
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.679
<v Speaker 3>All of a sudden, everyone's like, I can't get out

277
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.399
<v Speaker 3>of here. I need to be able to keep my

278
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 3>business alive.

279
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, And so it really helped us get advisors

280
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and people to help us build out how are we

281
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>going to build something that's bigger and better than what

282
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.679
<v Speaker 2>anyone's ever thought of? And it's still taking a lot

283
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 2>of time for us to really teach people how to

284
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 2>teach in this manner, which is teach people how to

285
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>teach people, but it's just different. And then you have

286
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>your student with you for a lifetime in an ecosystem

287
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 2>that is very user friendly. And so we really believe

288
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>that this is the future of the game. Whether they're

289
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.639
<v Speaker 2>an in person student or a virtual student, they're going

290
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>to be hosted here on Golf Live.

291
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 3>That's incredible. That's incredible. So now you say you have

292
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:05.759
<v Speaker 3>three hundred and eighty seven coaches in twelve countries, and

293
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:10.320
<v Speaker 3>are you're still building your stable of coaches, and yes,

294
00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.039
<v Speaker 3>what is your pitch to them? I mean specifically now

295
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.240
<v Speaker 3>that you've got it up and running and that your

296
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 3>post COVID. Yeah, with your pitch.

297
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not scared to say this out loud, but

298
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.879
<v Speaker 2>everyone you're afraid to say, but everyone's got to start somewhere, right.

299
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:33.279
<v Speaker 2>And the product that we that we bootstrapped starting out

300
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty, and God blessed everybody that really gave

301
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 2>gave us a shot and an opportunity and saw the vision.

302
00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 2>They hung with us and it it wasn't the best

303
00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>product in the world. It just had a decent and

304
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 2>really good vision, right. And in really this year we

305
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>launched what we call Golf Life two point zero, but

306
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 2>it's still Golf Live and it's a totally different product

307
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>that's had a lot of investment into it and a

308
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of you know, the best in the world when

309
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 2>it comes to video engineers and a lot of incredible

310
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 2>brand ambassadors and partners that have really put a lot

311
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of input into this, and we've had a lot of

312
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.720
<v Speaker 2>time into it, and so we've had four years to

313
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>put all the pieces together. And so yes, we are

314
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.119
<v Speaker 2>now building our stable, whereas we kind of went on

315
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.279
<v Speaker 2>positive for a little bit when it came to coaches

316
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 2>as we launched two point zero and some people sell

317
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.559
<v Speaker 2>two point zero in January compared to what it is today,

318
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and we've even added in so much stuff and it

319
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>looks incredible and we're always innovating and adding things to it.

320
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.880
<v Speaker 2>And so whenever we talked to a golfer, it's, hey,

321
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:51.799
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have a coach in your pocket. Whether you

322
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>have time for a live lesson or not, you're gonna

323
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 2>get better at the game. I guarantee it. Whether you

324
00:17:56.480 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>just like to watch content and get on and listen

325
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.799
<v Speaker 2>to a coach talk, you're going to be able to

326
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>find that there too. And you know, we have I

327
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 2>had to put a clause in our terms of services

328
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>that if you get in a motor vehicle accident while

329
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>driving while on the app, excuse me, h, We're not

330
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 2>liable because we have coaches and students that are creating

331
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 2>such good relationships on the platform that they start driving

332
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>home and they're still on a FaceTime call, right and

333
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I call it FaceTime, but they're still in a call

334
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 2>with their coach. I'm like, please, don't do that anymore.

335
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And and so you see the type of community.

336
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like a lawyer got in touch with you on

337

372
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, hitting in the forest in the.

373
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Field, hitting in the lakes on purpose.

374
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh yeah. I have a videos one.

375
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.440
<v Speaker 3>On Sunday and didn't mean to do that.

376
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Yep, bucket of balls hitting into lakes. And uh, we've

377
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>we've we've really seen it all in kitchens and living

378
00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:58.279
<v Speaker 2>rooms and backyards and garages, you know. Uh, it's really

379
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 2>been all over the map on where golf live lesson

380
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:04.680
<v Speaker 2>has been taken and it's been a lot of fun

381
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.839
<v Speaker 2>to watch. We had a coach from Australia giving a

382
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.079
<v Speaker 2>little girl in China a live golf lesson. She was

383
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 2>twelve years old. Right, Wow, How impactful is that to see?

384
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 2>And so it's been really cool to be able to

385
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 2>be a part of their lives and know that a

386
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's a scratch golfer on the platform that

387
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>took a lesson in his garage. He's got two kids

388
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and you know, a job always, you know, through the

389
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>day and night. And he just shot a I think

390
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.519
<v Speaker 2>he was a sixty three and got his first ever

391
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 2>hole in one. He sent me the scorecard. And so

392
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>if that guy's taken lessons, I know that a lot

393
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:48.799
<v Speaker 2>of other people listening out here need some lessons and

394
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>some pointers here and there, and they might say, oh,

395
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.759
<v Speaker 2>I just do it casually and for fun. I promise

396
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 2>you Golf's a lot more fun if you shave five

397
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to ten strokes off your game, and so we can

398
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker 2>do that for from your backyard.

399
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. This guy says he's a scratch golfer and he's

400
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>got two kids. He may have more, he just doesn't

401
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:09.640
<v Speaker 3>know it. If he's a scratch golfer, he's playing a

402
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 3>lot more. Yeah, and his partner's like, unless you're making

403
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.519
<v Speaker 3>money at this, cut it out. Yeah, I need help

404
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 3>at home.

405
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right. That's exactly to be fair. He played

406
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 2>at Texas Tech.

407
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.680
<v Speaker 3>So okay, he's one of those golfers.

408
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, it's like it's in his blood for life.

409
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hopefully his kids too.

410
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, that's exactly right.

411
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.079
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I would love to hear more success stories

412
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:41.279
<v Speaker 3>from various students. Yeah, you know, great golfers are bad golfers,

413

449
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>to today, I apologize if I'm a couple months off.

450
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.279
<v Speaker 2>But in a very short period of time, I want

451
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to say it was like six to seven months he

452
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:51.039
<v Speaker 2>was down shooting into the low eighties, just just doing

453
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>virtual lessons.

454
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wow, that's that's a heck of a testimonial. Yeah

455
00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 3>it was a former professional athlete too.

456
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 2>He as a professional athlete. That's exactly right. But you know,

457
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 2>and we're in commercial towers. It's the other type of

458
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:09.920
<v Speaker 2>business that we reserve, which goes back to my story,

459
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:15.640
<v Speaker 2>and we have employees all over the world that are

460
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>in towers that at lunchtime go downstairs to the Golf

461
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Lives set up, which is a net and a mat

462
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 2>where their building might have a simulator. But we work

463
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 2>with those buildings to provide everybody at Golf Live membership

464
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 2>and so they can actually walk into instead of going

465
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to the gym at lunch you can go downstairs and

466
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>take a golf lesson at lunch. And so we see

467
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 2>people really impacting their bottom line at work because of

468
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the benefits of golf physically, mentally and as a culture. Right.

469
00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Fred, you've probably seen more golf than a

470
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of people in this world. And you know

471
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>the power of golf, right, And so we really firmly

472
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>believe in that. And that's where we come in and

473
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:05.160
<v Speaker 2>we immerse the culture with golf and golf live. And yeah,

474
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.680
<v Speaker 2>we have employees all over the world that just get

475
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:13.039
<v Speaker 2>their their mental headspace right and go downstairs for thirty

476
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.839
<v Speaker 2>minutes and bang balls with a live coach.

477
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh. So you you've I've got to believe

478
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:21.759
<v Speaker 3>there's been investors at some point. I mean you, the

479
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:23.880
<v Speaker 3>way I'm hearing it, you've been at it for like

480
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 3>six to seven years already, I appreciate it. And you're

481
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 3>up to two point zero. You've something, you know, I'm

482
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.759
<v Speaker 3>sure you weren't generating any revenue the first couple of years.

483
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Boy, is that rightly?

484
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Well? So where is your revenue stream? Who pays whom?

485
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

486
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:50.480
<v Speaker 2>It's uh man, You I say this all the time

487
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.200
<v Speaker 2>before you ever start a company. You got to be

488
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>so passionate and excited about what you're doing to a crazy,

489
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.480
<v Speaker 2>crazy level because you are going to face rejection and

490
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 2>things aren't going to work. And let me tell you,

<v Speaker 2>best partners in the world. I'm very very blessed in

507
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>have his type of perspective on a daily basis is huge.

508
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're in the middle of a cap

509
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>raiser right now, actually our second one, and stay tuned

510
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.119
<v Speaker 2>for some really really fun announcements because we've got some

511
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.920
<v Speaker 2>really cool people that are getting involved here and backing us,

512
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.119
<v Speaker 2>and we're in the middle of rolling that marketing message

513
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:18.519
<v Speaker 2>out and it's going to be exciting to tell everybody

514
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.440
<v Speaker 2>who exactly that is.

515
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 3>And I'm suspecting that when you say stay tuned, you

516
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:25.039
<v Speaker 3>don't mean later in this podcast.

517
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I apologize, it can't be on this podcast yet

518
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:31.519
<v Speaker 2>or else my attorneys might might slap me on the

519
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:34.519
<v Speaker 2>wrist a little bit. I apologize, but on our social

520
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 2>media it'll come out.

521
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.200
<v Speaker 3>And let me also say, you know, yes, passion is

522
00:28:39.240 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 3>really important when you're starting a new business, new idea.

523
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 3>It's always critical to really believe in what you're doing.

524
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.400
<v Speaker 3>But let me also say that you need that support

525
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:54.920
<v Speaker 3>at home that's going to allow you and support you

526
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 3>to do that and stick with you and not going Okay,

527
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 3>you've had your fun, now you haven't made any money

528
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:02.759
<v Speaker 3>couple of years, get back to work right.

529
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And you know there's We did a cap raise

530
00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 2>a while back and was really blessed to raise two

531
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.079
<v Speaker 2>and a half million dollars in twenty twenty one right

532
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 2>out of the gate, and with some incredible partners like

533
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned, and so that really helped ease the burden.

534
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 2>But there's always this in the back of your mind

535
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and your spouse's mind, knowing we have to provide for

536
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 2>our kids and long term and all these cool things

537
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.359
<v Speaker 2>that we're doing and all these people were seeing. None

538
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.160
<v Speaker 2>of that's going to matter if if at the end

539
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>of the day we don't start producing revenue for the company,

540
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:41.079
<v Speaker 2>right and so, but at our core, I just believe

541
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>if we keep serving these coaches and keep serving these golfers,

542
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 2>that'll come. And there's been nobody that's made a larger

543
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice than my wife with how much I've traveled and

544
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:56.640
<v Speaker 2>how difficult it is to start a company. And you know,

545
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 2>she was, you know, there day one, saying go for it, right,

546
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And so she trusts that we're going to get it done.

547
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 2>And everybody trusts in the vision and knows that we're

548
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.000
<v Speaker 2>too passionate to let this opportunity slip by.

549
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the good news is that the teachers that

550
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:24.240
<v Speaker 3>use this, the students that use this aren't aren't holding

551
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 3>you up, aren't supporting you on this yet. But to

552
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 3>the consumer, now, what are the costs involved from downloading

553
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 3>the app forward?

554
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm super transparent. We want to be a

555
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:44.400
<v Speaker 2>transparent company. And to answer one of your questions earlier

556
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:51.200
<v Speaker 2>on in the cast here is we actually get our revenue,

557
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>whether it be from a company a B two B

558
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>company that's providing the membership for the employees, right, they'll

559
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:01.279
<v Speaker 2>pay us and then we pay the coaches. But for

560
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the most part, if it's not our B to B

561
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.559
<v Speaker 2>side of the business, we actually the coaches are the

562
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 2>ones that are paying us a per golfer type of

563
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:14.559
<v Speaker 2>fee that they're coaching, right, while well they bring on

564
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>their own golfers and so from a marketplace side of things,

565
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:22.200
<v Speaker 2>And here's where it's a little different. When you go

566
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 2>and see a coaches membership is one hundred dollars a month,

567
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 2>you're going to pay one hundred dollars a month. And

568
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:32.559
<v Speaker 2>so we are working with our coaches on you know,

569
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.880
<v Speaker 2>covering our costs and generating revenue through that. But at checkout,

570
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.880
<v Speaker 2>you're not going to get charged one hundred and fifteen dollars.

571
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 2>So we're very transparent in that. And there's a lot

572
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>of companies out there where you buy the one hundred

573
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:46.599
<v Speaker 2>dollars and then you get to check out and it's

574
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 2>one thirty seven fifty eight.

575
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and where where did.

576
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:53.359
<v Speaker 2>All these fees come from? Right? Uh So, so that's

577
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>not us, and and so the golfer is going to

578
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:58.039
<v Speaker 2>know that it's it's going to be a very honest

579
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.440
<v Speaker 2>experience where they get to check out the membership they're buying,

580
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 2>or the one on one lesson that they're buying, whatever

581
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it might be at checkout. That's exactly what it's going

582
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to be. And with our coaches, you know, if it

583
00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>comes from the marketplace, then we take a little commission

584
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:18.880
<v Speaker 2>of everything going on. If it's a coach that says, hey,

585
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I've got a book of one hundred students, well, come on,

586
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>we're going to serve you and all your students, and

587
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>we'll just have a per month you know, fee that

588
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you're paying us to be able to serve them. And

589
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.839
<v Speaker 2>so that's how we generate that revenue and fund the company.

590
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:40.079
<v Speaker 3>You've used the word membership multiple times, yes, to find

591
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 3>that for us, I guess.

592
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:45.599
<v Speaker 2>So as a coach, Yeah, as a coach, you curate

593
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:47.759
<v Speaker 2>your business. We're not going to run this for you

594
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 2>from a sense of telling you what you need to

595
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 2>do on the platform. Now, we are going to only

596
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:54.880
<v Speaker 2>have vetted coaches. So when you go on and apply

597
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 2>to be a coach, you know, I know there's a

598
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of good golfers out there that think they can coach,

599
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 2>which is great and we appreciate you more than you know,

600
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>especially when we're out there with you playing. But we

601
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>want to have a very credible coaching platform and have

602
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 2>vetted coaches and so when you apply, you can't just

603
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 2>start coaching immediately on the platform. We want to make

604
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>sure that you actually have a coaching business and you're credited.

605
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.599
<v Speaker 3>So once you have to be a PGA certified instructor.

606
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:27.559
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be PGA certified anymore. That is definitely,

607
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, a shoe in to get onto the platform,

608
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.200
<v Speaker 2>if you will. But there are a lot of coaches

609
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.440
<v Speaker 2>like Chris Como that you that are dang good coaches,

610
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:42.279
<v Speaker 2>right that don't have a PGA certification And so wow, yeah,

611
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>so we actually walk through and that every single person

612
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 2>that comes through, and so you talked about memberships, each

613
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>coach they can put as many layers of a membership

614
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:55.839
<v Speaker 2>as they want on their platform and we've made it

615
00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.279
<v Speaker 2>super easy. Or they can sell packages as well, one

616
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 2>time you know, a thousand dollars fee for fifteen lessons

617
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it might be. Or it's hey, buy one

618
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.199
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty dollars membership and you're going to get

619
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:12.079
<v Speaker 2>a live lesson, you're gonna get two a SYNC lessons,

620
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get access to all my live streams, you know,

621
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.159
<v Speaker 2>whatever it might be. That coach builds that out. Now,

622
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 2>we help these coaches with any bit of ideas that

623
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.199
<v Speaker 2>they would like, but at the end of the day,

624
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 2>it's their decision, their business and their athletes that they're serving.

625
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:30.159
<v Speaker 2>So you can also go on there and just say

626
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 2>book lesson, one time fee, one lesson and done type

627
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.519
<v Speaker 2>of deal. I think the memberships are way better value

628
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.679
<v Speaker 2>because you get a lot more that comes with it

629
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 2>for a very you know a little bit more.

630
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 3>But you know, if a golf instructor isn't working for you, you

631
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:49.559
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be working with that person. So how does the

632
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 3>golfer get to vet other than just reading a bio?

633
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean they just buy a single lesson and try

634
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.519
<v Speaker 3>out different because it sounds like with the amount of

635
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:03.679
<v Speaker 3>coaches that you have and with the speed with which

636
00:35:03.719 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 3>you are growing, that it's almost like cost go of coaches, right.

637
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.639
<v Speaker 3>You just walk in and it's like completely overwhelming. It's

638
00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 3>like I don't know where to start here.

639
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's exactly right. You know, on the platform, we

640
00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:22.199
<v Speaker 2>try to put our most active coaches on the homepage,

641
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to be quite honest with you, but that you know,

642
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.960
<v Speaker 2>neither here nor they're all the coaches on the platform.

643
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 2>They are real coaches. They are very good at what

644
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:33.679
<v Speaker 2>they do, or else they wouldn't be on the platform.

645
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>We have actually embedded a feature and coaches can choose

646
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to do it or not, but I'm going to say

647
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>ninety percent of them have it where you can actually

648
00:35:42.840 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 2>do a free fifteen minute consultation, get a feel of

649
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the technology. Is this for you, Let me talk to

650
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the coach and really have that interaction with them and

651
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>prior to moving forward with booking anything. And that's entirely free,

652
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.320
<v Speaker 2>don't We don't even you don't even need your credit card,

653
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 2>So when you're downloading the app, when you're creating a profile,

654
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.000
<v Speaker 2>all that's free. Get to the homepage, find a free

655
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 2>consultation with the coach and chat with them for fifteen

656
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.960
<v Speaker 2>minutes with a golf club in the hand, get a

657
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:15.400
<v Speaker 2>taste of the tech and go from there.

658
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 3>So then you can just say I just want you know,

659
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:23.800
<v Speaker 3>the classic lesson is I'm playing in a golf charity

660
00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.039
<v Speaker 3>tournament next week and I haven't picked up a club

661
00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:28.880
<v Speaker 3>in three years. I need a lesson, make me better

662
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:32.119
<v Speaker 3>at me. You know, there's always that that goes on.

663
00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:37.400
<v Speaker 3>But for the serious golfer who wants an ongoing presence

664
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.960
<v Speaker 3>in their life of a coach who knows their game

665
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.440
<v Speaker 3>and they don't have to re explain it every single time.

666
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.159
<v Speaker 3>So you've got all that covered, right, you can just

667
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:48.960
<v Speaker 3>come in and do a one up. We are one off.

668
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.199
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly where you can sign up for a series.

669
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right. And you know, we had a the

670
00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.239
<v Speaker 2>guy that I was telling about earlier that shot a

671
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.840
<v Speaker 2>sixty two and a hold on one right. You got

672
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the range of people on the platform is that too,

673
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.960
<v Speaker 2>well really PGA players as well, but that's neither nor

674
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:11.599
<v Speaker 2>there too. We've had someone reach out and say, hey,

675
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared to death, I'm going to the golf course

676
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:17.480
<v Speaker 2>for the first ever time on a business meeting, and

677
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know what to wear. Can I talk

678
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to somebody? Can someone tell me what to wear? And

679
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>how do I act? Right? And so the you know

680
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 2>that person, I'm really really thankful that we're there just

681
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:35.280
<v Speaker 2>to ease, you know, ease her mind and let her know, Hey,

682
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:40.400
<v Speaker 2>it's it's okay. Here's what you do, right, And so yeah,

683
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:44.599
<v Speaker 2>we can service everybody one time fee, memberships, packages. Hey,

684
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I just want to watch their live streams. So I'm

685
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:51.960
<v Speaker 2>just gonna pay this. It's kind of all a cart

686
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.840
<v Speaker 2>and whatever phase you are in your life or your

687
00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.880
<v Speaker 2>golf journey.

688
00:37:56.559 --> 00:38:01.800
<v Speaker 3>That's amazing. I'm very impressed. I think this is something

689
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:03.840
<v Speaker 3>that I could see myself using.

690
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, bring it on, let's do it.

691
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:10.559
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll talk about that later. But I've been thinking about,

692
00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:13.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, and all this time that i've done this, Yeah,

693
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:18.400
<v Speaker 3>nine hundred and sixty two episodes, I've only taken two

694
00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:21.639
<v Speaker 3>or three golf lessons. I've always felt like, yeah, oh yeah,

695
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:24.760
<v Speaker 3>I've always felt like that I wanted to use the

696
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:28.760
<v Speaker 3>podcast as a way of learning and improving and prove

697
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.239
<v Speaker 3>that it can be done.

698
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

699
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:34.280
<v Speaker 3>So when I started the podcast, you know, I was

700
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.880
<v Speaker 3>probably eighteen nineteen. I don't even know if I had

701
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.360
<v Speaker 3>an index at that point, but I was definitely struggling

702
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.079
<v Speaker 3>to get into the high nineties. And I've gotten down

703
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:50.440
<v Speaker 3>to you know, single digits, wow, and still trying to

704
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.320
<v Speaker 3>get down into single digits, back and forth. But I've

705
00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:57.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, I've never really had anybody working with me,

706
00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.280
<v Speaker 3>and I can see that for someone like myself off

707
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 3>that this could really be valuable. But crosses my mind

708
00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:07.760
<v Speaker 3>if you're playing in a tournament and you call up

709
00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:11.280
<v Speaker 3>your instructor because you're that would be illegal, I guess

710
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 3>because you're not allowed to have coaching during your round.

711
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 3>Are you legal for tournament play? A little little fine print.

712
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I know that we've had people have twenty minute, you know,

713
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.360
<v Speaker 2>range sessions with their coach right before tournament, right especially

714
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 2>high school kids, and that don't have the coach traveling

715
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:35.119
<v Speaker 2>with them. So maybe that's, you know, as far as

716
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.599
<v Speaker 2>that goes when it comes to tournament play. But we've

717
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>also had people that do three hour playing lessons on

718
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the plane. People that travel down to Florida during the winter,

719
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.760
<v Speaker 2>their coaches up north are doing playing lessons with them.

720
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 2>They just clip their phone on the golf cart and

721
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:52.599
<v Speaker 2>that coaches with them the whole round, right in recording

722
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 2>the whole round.

723
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:55.559
<v Speaker 3>See, that's the other thing that I think is just

724
00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 3>wonderful is that you get to record your entire round

725
00:39:58.239 --> 00:39:59.800
<v Speaker 3>and go back and look at it again. It's like,

726
00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.159
<v Speaker 3>what did he say? Because I did a I did

727
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.800
<v Speaker 3>do a weekend golf instruction. I did golf school once

728
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:11.639
<v Speaker 3>earlierly on in the podcast, and it felt like I,

729
00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:14.239
<v Speaker 3>you know, made some progress. But as soon as I left,

730
00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.599
<v Speaker 3>like what did they say? Yeah, wait a minute, you know,

731
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:19.000
<v Speaker 3>after two rounds, and now I'm like, am I doing

732
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.639
<v Speaker 3>this the way they explained it? So being able to

733
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.920
<v Speaker 3>have access to my own library of video footage and

734
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:26.719
<v Speaker 3>conversations would be amazing.

735
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Absolutely, And it doesn't stor to your device, right,

736
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to have a three hour playing lesson video.

737
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:36.280
<v Speaker 3>On your stores on your platform.

738
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And your stores on the app, So it doesn't take

739
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:42.400
<v Speaker 2>up any storage in your phone. And so we hosted

740
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 2>all for you, and yeah, you can quickly pull it

741
00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:48.519
<v Speaker 2>up and scroll to Hey what was he saying? And okay, yeah,

742
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker 2>yeah I got it. Bo go to it. And so, yeah,

743
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.039
<v Speaker 2>your whole history is saved for you forever.

744
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.320
<v Speaker 3>So where does the pricing for the consumer, for the golfer,

745
00:40:57.360 --> 00:40:59.960
<v Speaker 3>where does the pricing? Is there a number that you

746
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:03.760
<v Speaker 3>can say it starts at about here, it goes all

747
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:05.400
<v Speaker 3>the way up to there.

748
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, let's say that you want an actual

749
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.280
<v Speaker 2>live lesson, right, and it's not just the live streaming,

750
00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 2>because some of the live streams are five bucks, ten bucks,

751
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:18.960
<v Speaker 2>or hey, subscribe for fifteen to twenty dollars and get

752
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 2>all of them, you know, free. When you start talking

753
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:26.400
<v Speaker 2>about individual instruction, whether it be async or live lessons

754
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:29.840
<v Speaker 2>or the memberships, really the bottom there's going to be

755
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:32.840
<v Speaker 2>one hundred, and then we have coaches that go up

756
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.519
<v Speaker 2>to about five hundred, and whether that be a month

757
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.480
<v Speaker 2>or per lesson, so in between, that's a pretty big range.

758
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I get that. But if you're a beginner and you

759
00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:47.639
<v Speaker 2>just want to have something reasonable, okay, maybe you can

760
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:49.920
<v Speaker 2>do a thirty minute lesson for like fifty dollars. Right

761
00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:53.800
<v Speaker 2>That per hour cost is about one hundred dollars on

762
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the on the floor, and it can get up to

763
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:59.079
<v Speaker 2>about five six hundred dollars as a ceiling.

764
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:03.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure, but it is basically very competitive with meeting

765
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:04.320
<v Speaker 3>with somebody in person.

766
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, except for it's way more convenient.

767
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:12.599
<v Speaker 3>It's way more convenient. Wow. And again it's available for

768
00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:16.239
<v Speaker 3>either platform. For your phone, does it work as well?

769
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:20.400
<v Speaker 2>If on an iPad, it works even better than an iPad.

770
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 2>I learned that you're building this that iPads are actually

771
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.800
<v Speaker 2>better than iPhones. Really. Yeah, the memory and the processing

772
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.239
<v Speaker 2>and the chips and the whatnot. And iPad's awesome.

773
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:33.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So it works for tablets, it works to phones,

774
00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:36.440
<v Speaker 3>and it works on either platform. Well, there you go,

775
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:40.039
<v Speaker 3>and it's called golf Live app. Yes, and you're at

776
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:41.639
<v Speaker 3>golf liveapp dot com.

777
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:42.760
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right.

778
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.199
<v Speaker 3>And what about social if we want to see clips.

779
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.400
<v Speaker 2>At golf Live app, that's exactly right on social on

780
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Facebook and Instagram and TikTok that's and LinkedIn.

781
00:42:56.000 --> 00:43:00.719
<v Speaker 3>Excellent, Keith, this is really fascinating. Good luck to you

782
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:02.280
<v Speaker 3>on this one. It sounds like you're head in the

783
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.199
<v Speaker 3>right direction and that you've got some really compelling ideas

784
00:43:06.280 --> 00:43:10.239
<v Speaker 3>to make this a very strong and competitive product.

785
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciate it. Our mission is to truly grow

786
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.679
<v Speaker 2>the game of golf, changed the game of golf and

787
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:20.840
<v Speaker 2>how golf construction is delivered in the future and be

788
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.960
<v Speaker 2>a premier product for that, and so we appreciate everyone

789
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.239
<v Speaker 2>that has supported us to date and looking forward to

790
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:27.599
<v Speaker 2>anybody that wants to try it out.

791
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.639
<v Speaker 3>Well. I had my trip to Seattle this past weekend

792
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:36.760
<v Speaker 3>and did get to experience Chambers Bay and it was

793
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:40.599
<v Speaker 3>quite the experience. Indeed, we didn't get any rain, luckily,

794
00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:43.960
<v Speaker 3>but I guess August in the Seattle area, or to

795
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Seattle Tacoma is you don't get a lot of rain,

796
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.239
<v Speaker 3>so they tell us. But it was overcast all day

797
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:53.960
<v Speaker 3>with temperatures in the humid upper sixties, which the humidity

798
00:43:54.039 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 3>was kind of a surprise for the West Coast. But

799
00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 3>overall the course was beautiful, difficult, and because it's walking

800
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:06.199
<v Speaker 3>only and covers seven point two miles with hundreds of

801
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 3>feet of elevation change you go up and down the

802
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.559
<v Speaker 3>hills like four times. It was also a challenge to

803
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:17.239
<v Speaker 3>maintain your blood sugar an hydration. I had my own caddy, Sam,

804
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 3>and in a couple of weeks we'll get to meet him.

805
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.360
<v Speaker 3>As I recorded our conversation over the last couple holes,

806
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I tested him out for the first fourteen

807
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:29.679
<v Speaker 3>holes or so and thought, no, this is a conversation

808
00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:33.519
<v Speaker 3>we need to have. This guy is fascinating. The following day,

809
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.679
<v Speaker 3>we were scheduled to play at Eagles Talent at Willow's Run,

810
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:40.079
<v Speaker 3>but only made it through four holes as the rain

811
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:44.000
<v Speaker 3>showed up, surprising everybody and it was raining so hard

812
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:46.840
<v Speaker 3>and there was so much standing water, including like two

813
00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.679
<v Speaker 3>inches deep on the greens. We just decided to take

814
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.480
<v Speaker 3>off and we were done with it now. In addition

815
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:56.440
<v Speaker 3>to meeting my caddy at Chambers Bay, in the next

816
00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.000
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks, we're going to meet a punk rock

817
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:03.199
<v Speaker 3>band that right songs about golf. You'd think that would

818
00:45:03.239 --> 00:45:06.280
<v Speaker 3>be like peanut butter and horseradish sandwich, but no, they

819
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.960
<v Speaker 3>make it work and we'll hear how. Also, we'll learn

820
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:15.599
<v Speaker 3>about athleticism, neurostacking hmm, and the current state of golfers

821
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:20.039
<v Speaker 3>who walk and much more. This week's Golf Smarter Ambassador,

822
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Jerry Alchemsti of Carmel, California, plays at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch. Now,

823
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Laguna Seca is well known for their raceway, but the

824
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.920
<v Speaker 3>area is extremely well known for their golf, which includes

825
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:37.360
<v Speaker 3>Pebble Beach. Anyway, thanks Jerry for becoming a golf Smarter Ambassador,

826
