1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: I definitely thought this was gonna be a lot harder

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: than it is. And I think the reason why it's

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: not is because I know how to talk my way

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: into things. I know how to ask for what I

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: want and know how to advocate for what I want. Now,

6
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: even if I'm not sure, even if I don't have

7
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: all the answers, I'm still very confident in what I

8
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: want and what I stand on. And people see that,

9
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: and that's a part of leadership that some people do.

10
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Last Confidence is everything, and you can learn everything else

11
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: along the way, and a lot of people will actually

12
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: offer to teach you along the way, but as long

13
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: as you have the confidence, they're willing to back that

14
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: any day.

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,199

Speaker 2: lasting impact on communities by empowering women and promoting inclusivey

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: of the sport.

83
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Let's go chat, Let's go chat.

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: That was nice, Let's go Kiera. I didn't want to

85
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: diet the work.

86
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know. She knew all that. That is great.

87
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: That is ninety nine percent accurate these chapters.

88
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, yes.

89
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: So we have actually scaled back on some of those chapters. Okay,

90
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: we have eleven chapters now, I think that list out

91
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: about seventeen. And at one point in time that was accurate.

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: But I learned scaling too fast and sometimes hinder you. Yep,

93
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: And so I decided to take a step back and

94
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: focus on the chapters that I knew had really great

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: community already within. It just makes things a little bit

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: easier from us, well for us, being that we're not

97
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: physically in those cities itself, and our presence makes a

98
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: big difference. So we actually scaled back to ensure that

99
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: this thing continues to grow at at at a great

100
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: pace itself. I don't want to grow too fast. I

101
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: don't need to I don't need a hard crash or

102
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: fast crash.

103
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: No, you gotta look, you gotta scale appropriately. Definitely understand that.

104
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: And you know, when you're when you're out here killing it,

105
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure lots of opportunities pop up and you're all

106
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: over the place, you getting pulled in lots of places.

107
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: So you got to kind of thick your shots.

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Right exactly exactly. And the way that things have just

109
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: taking off this year already, and I knew that was

110
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: going to be the case. Last year was kind of

111
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: like a setting up the foundation for the organization, and

112
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: I knew once I got that under my belt, this

113
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: year things were really going to take off with partnerships

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: and sponsorships and things of that such, and it is

115
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: going in that direction. And so so I'm glad everybody's

116
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: seeing the work and they want to be a part

117
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: of the work. Yeah.

118
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: I love it when the chart's always going up into

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: the right, as I say, you know, and I feel

120
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: like the chart for you all is definitely going up into.

121
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: The right, absolutely absolutely.

122
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: Now Again, a lot of people picked up hobbies during

123
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,119
Speaker 2: the pandemic. You know, you weren't, so you weren't playing

124
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: golf before the pandemic hit at all.

125
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Never had an interest in the sport.

126
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: My brother grew up playing golf with my stepdad and

127
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: golf was a boys sport for us. So I was

128
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: a cheerleader, competitive cheerleading, dancer, gymnast, track things of that such.

129
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: Never had any interest in golf. Didn't even know women

130
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: could actually golf. I didn't even know like prose Lady,

131
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: prose Lpga was a thing until I actually started to

132
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: take up the sport for work, and then I started

133
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: to love it on a personal level and got into

134
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: it from there. I mean, was just thrown in and

135
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: I love this sport. I love what it does for

136
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: us as people in the professional field. I love what

137
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: I get from it from a mental standpoint as well.

138
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: For me, it really more so started out with wanting

139
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: to meet up with my clients so that I can

140
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: keep up with my colleagues and keep my job as well.

141
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: So I had to learn how to golf there. But

142
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: then once I started to get out there and I

143
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: see all that it's doing for me from a mental scale.

144
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I was a fantech consultant, which was at times high strong.

145
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: It was sales so and I was actually the youngest

146
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: member on my team. So I'm keeping up or trying

147
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: to keep up with these these gentlemen who have been

148
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: in this game for years to come, have really built

149
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: a great rapport with all of our really big time clients.

150
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: So wanted to ensure that I could keep up with them.

151
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: But for me, getting out there and just hitting that ball,

152
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: taking my frustration out on that ball some days was

153
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: a really great relaxing moment for me. Then it got

154
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: to the point where I wanted to golf with my friends.

155
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: They would probably come to the course with me maybe

156
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: one or two times, and from there drop off because

157
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't build the patience or become consistent. Golf is

158
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: not one of them games where you can play one

159
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: time and think you're gonna get it. I also feel

160
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: as if us as black people, we always dominate every

161
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: sport naturally, and so sometimes when we get out there

162
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: we're trying to hit that little ball, we get frustrated

163
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: because it's like, wait, I'm supposed to be able to

164
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: do this, This is not supposed to be hard. I

165
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: dominate everything. So a lot of them drop off immediately,

166
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: And my mindset was, there has to be other women

167
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: who were interested in the sport like that actually want

168
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: to play. So we actually came up with this idea

169
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: through this app called Geneva, and it literally connects you

170
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: with people in your area who are interested in specific hobbies.

171
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: And we actually still have that app now and it's

172
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: kind of how we keep in contact with all of

173
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: our members we are I want to I think we

174
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: just reached a thousand members on that app now, which

175
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: is great, but it's just one of those ways for

176
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: us to stay in contact no matter what chapter. Every

177
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: chapter has its own chat, but then we also have

178
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: like an all members chat, but we talk about everything

179
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: through there. So started off with that, and then we

180
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: conducted range meetups so it's free to go to the range.

181
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't cost anything at any course, you just have

182
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: to pay for your balls depending on where course that is.

183
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: So we would meet at Bobby Jones off Northside Drive

184
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: because it was pretty central to the city, and come

185
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: to find out, Bobby Jones actually has a golf academy

186
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: in which they already teach lessons, and so we reach

187
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: out to them and was like, you know, we just

188
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: want to host some lessons for some ladies. Put it

189
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: on social media. Decided to have what we call a

190
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: social hour as well. So after the golf lessons, the

191
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: ladies get together, have some drinks, house food and mix

192
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: and mingle. Network. You're meeting women you haven't met before,

193
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: so why not create a space to do so. We

194
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: started out with one clinic, fourteen ladies. We were doing

195
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: this once a weekend or once a month, I want

196
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: to say. It started out as and then we got

197
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: to the point where we were having five lessons in

198
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: one weekend every weekend, and those were still those still

199
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: had a wait list after a while, so on average

200
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: we were touching about between ninety six and one hundred

201
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: and twenty women a month introducing them to golf. We

202
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: weren't member based either at first, but eventually we got

203
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: to the point where we wanted to create some consistency.

204
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Some ladies actually wanted to advance past the beginner stage,

205
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: so that meant, okay, a membership program itself, in which

206
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: we can distinguish who's a beginner, who's in an intermediate,

207
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: who's advanced, who's ready to actually get out on the

208
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: course and play instead of just clinics, and the membership

209
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: part was ideal. It was great. We started to implement

210
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: at the social events outside of golf, the charitable portion

211
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: as well. I'm really big on giving to those who

212
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: give to you, and I feel like this city gives

213
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: a lot to ladies who golf, so I feel it's

214
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: also my duty to make sure that we're doing our part,

215
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: whether that's being hands on at the women's community kitchen,

216
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: or volunteering with meals on wheels and getting meals for

217
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: our seniors, but now really honing in on our kids

218
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: and introducing the sport to our kids, or being involved

219
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: in active in any way that we can with their lives.

220
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: And that's where the foundation part comes in now. So

221
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: originally it was Girls Too Golf, and we recently decided

222
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: to change that to Future Leaders Too GoF we realized

223
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: the resources that we have should be expanded to boys

224
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: and girls, not just the girls, because the young males

225
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: they need that mentorship, they need the resources. They're interested

226
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: in golf as well. So now we are future leaders

227
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: too off for the foundation.

228
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Okay, now, look, there's a lot to unpack there. Okay,

229
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: like you, just like you, that's a lot, and I

230
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: got I got a couple questions. I just got to

231
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: go back off first, and foremost, what were the people

232
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: that Bobby Jones saying, when all of a sudden it

233
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: went from just a couple of ladies showing up to

234
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: like you said, five clinics a day, every day or

235
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: every weekend essentially like weekend, Like, what was their reaction

236
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: just seeing all this happen and all of a sudden

237
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: they loved it.

238
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: They loved it because I don't think they've seen anything

239
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: like that before. And then it kind of created a

240
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: trend as well. It brought more money to the course.

241
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: The course is busier than ever, and that's a public

242
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: course itself, Bobby Jones is also a full nonprofit course,

243
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: so it's really all about how many people they're able

244
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: to get out there each weekend. But then also just

245
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: being able to see more women out on the course.

246
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: At one point in time when I was out there,

247
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: like I say that, there were no women out there.

248
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: So now every weekend that course is packed with women.

249
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: They loved it. Our pros loved it. They already had

250
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: they have five pros, two or the more women, So

251
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: it was also great for them to be able to

252
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: have that interaction with ladies as well. Before us you

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: also have black girls golf by Ms Tiffany. She's great.

254
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: She's been doing that for years, like literally leading the

255
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: way so to be able to see more women out

256
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: on the course. They got a really great kick out

257
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: of that.

258
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking get everybody come out there. All of a sudden,

259
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: I played Boby Jones a couple times, like I've seen it,

260
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Like it's a nice course to get started with its

261
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: beautiful scenery and all that kind of stuff to get going.

262
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: What do you remember about because again for somebody that

263
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: didn't play it all of a sudden, not only playing

264
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: but hostness, Like what do you remember about your first

265
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: time on the golf course? Like what was it like

266
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: for you do? Like did it instally click at that

267
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: moment or you know, you say, you know, let me

268
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: come back tomorrow and try to stay again. Like what

269
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: do you rememb about that first time you really went

270
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: out there and started playing, Like did you play with

271
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: clients the first time you go there by yourself? Like

272
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: what was it like?

273
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: So my first time going out there was actually actually

274
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: my first day at that course. Actually went for lunch

275
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: because they had the restaurant on site, and so I

276
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 1: went for lunch and as I was leaving Marcus Williams,

277
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: who was actually a golf instructor out there, or at

278
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: that time was a golf instructor, and he came over

279
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: and he was like, are you guys like leaving the

280
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: course and we were like, yeah, we just had lunch.

281
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: I was with my best friend at the time, and

282
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: he was like, well, do you guys play and we

283
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: were like no, never picked up a club a day

284
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: in my life. And he was like, well, do you

285
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: want to learn how to play? I was like yeah,

286
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know that was a thing, Like I didn't

287
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: know lessons was a thing. And he was like, well,

288
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I'll teach you guys for free, solely because I just

289
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: want to see more black women out on the course.

290
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: And so we started working with him three days a week.

291
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: My first day out there was with him at the

292
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: driving range. And I'm one of those people I love

293
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: to learn. And the thing about golf, no matter how

294
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: long you play, how much you play, how advanced you are,

295
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: there's always something new that you can learn. And that

296
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: first day out there, I thought I was going to

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: get discouraged. I thought I was going to be nervous. Honestly,

298
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what to expect but it was

299
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: more so of him just getting me comfortable, letting me know,

300
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: you can always come out here anytime. You don't even

301
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: have to be playing lessons and things if that such.

302
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: And you don't know what you don't know. So I

303
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: didn't even know the range was a thing. When he

304
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: mentioned lessons, I thought we were actually getting out on

305
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: the course and going through to play. And it did

306
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: not start like that at all. So you got to

307
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: get the fundamentals downpack. So I actually didn't have any

308
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: high expectations once again because I didn't know. But I

309
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: also got introduced to the sport in the best way possible,

310
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: and that was by someone who actually wanted to teach

311
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: me the sport.

312
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sometimes yeah, sometimes not know one or coming in

313
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: without any preconceived notions, it's like the best way, right,

314
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: Like you just kind of almost like a blank slate, yes,

315
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: and you don't really have any you know, any agenda.

316
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: You're like, I just want to I don't know what,

317
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, Just teach me, just show me. And

318
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: but then all of a sudden, you know, you start

319
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: falling in love with it. You're like, you know, let's

320
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: get some other ladies out here. Your friends kind of

321
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: went for a little bit and they didn't really come

322
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: back like you wanted to. So you kind of started

323
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: expanding it out and inviting the people in. Like what

324
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: were the first things you did to really kind of

325
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: like start even telling people these clinics existed. Was it

326
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: just social media you post on your own? Had you

327
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: even started ladies who golf yet? Or we were just saying, hey, look,

328
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: if you're a lady that wants to learn how to golf,

329
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 2: like come out here to Bobby Jones. We got clinics happen.

330
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I literally just started on social media. So my

331
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: best friend is a well she has her own marketing

332
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: agency and she had just started out. So when I

333
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: came up with the idea, which is so crazy, came

334
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: up with the idea August twenty three and I was like,

335
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I think I want to do something of this scale here.

336
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: And I said, these are the colors that I have

337
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: in mind, these are the fonts I have in mind, Like,

338
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: this is a vision that I have. Can you create

339
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: me a logo and we'll go from there. I think

340
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: I told her this three nights prior to She sent

341
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: me the logo back later and I was like, Oh,

342
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: this looks great. So I got the website, got the

343
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: domain registered it. This wasn't even supposed to be a business.

344
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: It was just supposed to be a hobby. But I

345
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, if I'm gonna do it,

346
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to go all in. And so she put

347
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: the website together and I said nothing about it to anyone.

348
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people I really don't mention anything

349
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: until it's done and ready, solely because you don't know

350
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: what could happen. Anything could change, and then I don't

351
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: want to put it out there and we don't fall

352
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: through with it, or whatever the case, or something happens

353
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: with the course and we can no longer do it,

354
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: but put it out there on social media. I want

355
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: to say two weeks prior to and within that week

356
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: we were fully committed for that one lesson and it

357
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: went really well. But it was all social media, all

358
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: social media, and.

359
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: Then as you all kind of started building into an

360
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: actual cause, were you charged, you weren't charging for those

361
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: at that time we were charging. We were so one

362
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: of the most addictive things is a person that's done

363
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: e commerce and build e commerce websites and kind of

364
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: been in that space for a long time. Like one

365
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: of the most addictive things I think is we see

366
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: those payments start rolling through and oh this feels good.

367
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: Like I'm sitting here and all of a sudden, I

368
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: don't know if you shopifyre you know, but I love shot.

369
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: Like when did you, like we kind of started growing

370
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: and building this thing, Like when did you say you

371
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: know what this is like really a thing? Hold on

372
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: a second here, like when did that kind of kick?

373
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: In November of that year? So what two months later?

374
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I was actually still working for Cocks and everything was

375
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: moving so fast, and I'm like two months, Like this

376
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: is crazy, Like when you think about it, two months,

377
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: it's not a long time. But we had to immediately

378
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: like pivot to make sure we can accommentate everyone. And

379
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: that was also making sure that the courses were on

380
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: board as well, because who said they had the time.

381
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: But once I got all of that figured out, I

382
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: literally sat down and told myself, I'm going to give

383
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: you this ultimatum and you're going to figure it out.

384
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: Either going to stay with Cox or you are going

385
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: to do this full time. And the great thing was

386
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: I had a relationship with Cox. I had been there

387
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: for years, had a great relationship with my director and

388
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: my CEO, so if I needed to go back, I

389
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: could go back. I left on good terms. But this

390
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: was kind of like a moment where I decided I'm

391
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: going to take a leap a step out on faith

392
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: for myself. And it worked out that way, and once

393
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: again started out as a hobby. Was not planning for

394
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: this to become a full on business, and I wasn't

395
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: even focused on the numbers at first. I think that's

396
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: what helped. I was not focused on the numbers more

397
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: so of the community, like building up the community. Yeah,

398
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: and the numbers will work itself out later on, and

399
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: it did, thankfully. So yeah, November, two months later, I

400
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: kind of had that epiphany like Okay, we got something

401
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: going here, and if you keep going in this direction,

402
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: it'll be all worth it.

403
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: I tell people all the time, like you don't know

404
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: product market fit until you launch something, because I mean

405
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: that's kind of the definition of marketing, right It's like

406
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: you're doing the research, you're figuring it out, and then

407
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: you bring it to the market and the market typically

408
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: is like okay, I want that thing, and like that's

409
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: why again, when you drop something, it sells out or

410
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: it goes crazy off the rip because that's product market fit, right.

411
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: People think that marketing is, you know, trying to promote it.

412
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, that's advertising. Like the marketing is all

413
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: the work you do behind the scenes to get it

414
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: to that point. Yeah, but it sounds like y'all really

415
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: kind of found a product market fit when you launched

416
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: this pretty early on. Like what were some of the

417
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: things you think really pulled people in and said, you

418
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: know what, I want this even if I don't know

419
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: I want this or need this, Like, yeah, I want

420
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: to be out here. Learned about golf with ladies who golf.

421
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: I was pretty specific about the kind of community wanted

422
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: to create, and that was a community filled with professional

423
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: career women, women who enjoyed the same things, the same hobbies,

424
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: same idealistics. And I think me not being afraid to

425
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: say that because I also feel like everyone wants to

426
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: be so inclusive of everyone rather than sticking to a

427
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: certain demographic or what works for you, or a community

428
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: that you can create based on the demographic you want

429
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: to have. Me honing in on that and stay and

430
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: true to that worked out really really well, and once

431
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: again professional career women who like to travel, like to

432
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: take part in certain social events, want to commit their

433
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: time to charitable initiatives and things of that such, like

434
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: to live a certain lifestyle, whatever the case. But all

435
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: of those women wanted to meet other women who were

436
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: just like them or had the same interest as them,

437
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: and it worked out that way.

438
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: So no, it's amazing again, like, and you've grown this thing. Obviously,

439
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: it's going crazy now. It's safe to say this is

440
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: probably a seventh figure business at this point. I'm not

441
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: getting getting closed.

442
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: It's getting closed, getting close, not yet because the winter,

443
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: so winter things are a little bit slower in the winter,

444
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: so we're now getting back into the summer months, spring months,

445
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: fall and all of that when golf really kicks off.

446
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: So we we experienced it pretty hard between November and

447
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: February March, I will say, But now things are starting

448
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: to pick back up, thankfully, and we're just trying to

449
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: make sure we can keep up with the demand and

450
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: what's going on. But almost there, I would say this

451
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: year for sure, absolutely.

452
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: It's amazing, Like and yeah, you did cocks like you

453
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, I didn't even know this was a thing.

454
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden you're like on the on

455
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: the cusp of I mean, it's already successful, but like

456
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: to see something like that, I'm sure it's got to

457
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: feel really good, it.

458
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Does it, I don't know. It still hasn't set in

459
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: for me. And maybe because I am always going once

460
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: we complete one thing or accomplish one goal, I'm already

461
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: focused on the next thing, which is I'm trying to

462
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: do better with that, because that is not always great.

463
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to sit in it and appreciate the

464
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: moment and look at where you came from. But yeah,

465
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: trying to trying to stay in the moment sometimes is

466
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: really hard for me at this point. But no, never

467
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: thought we would get here. This was like I say

468
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: that two years before, but I've never thought it wasn't

469
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: even an idea.

470
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 2: Did you ever like build a business or like dabbled

471
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: in an entrepreneurship before this? I did.

472
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: Actually I used to have an online floral store. Okay,

473
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: so right when the roses that like last forever, when

474
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: they became a really big thing, I tapped into that

475
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: market immediately. So my mother actually kind of instilled in

476
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: me savings like ensuring that you can say whatever you

477
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: want to put that money into whatever the case do such.

478
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: But working in corporate and making all the money that

479
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: I was making, I'm single, I don't have kids. There's

480
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: no reason why I should be blowing off my money.

481
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: So I'm really big and like in seeing and like

482
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: seeing what works. I don't mind doing that at all.

483
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: So I came up with the idea, I love flowers anyways,

484
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: and I like I like passion projects for me, so

485
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things also start that way as well.

486
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: So it was called Patalusdamor, which is pedals of Love

487
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: and French. Was online for a while right before COVID.

488
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: COVID actually hit, and we weren't really doing well. I

489
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: didn't think we were gonna do well because the roses

490
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: were very expensive, like our largers. Our largest box was

491
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty dollars, our least expensive box was

492
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars. Ninety nine dollars, And I'm like, no

493
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: one's gonna be paying this money for these flowers. And

494
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: it just so happened that one of my clients, she's

495
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: based in Vegas, and she asked me when I was

496
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: actually delivering some flowers for her in Atlanta, and she said,

497
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: would you ever consider a business partner. And I said, jokingly, no,

498
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: I'll sell it to you before I do that, before

499
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: I take your money and do that because at the time,

500
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: COVID had just hit and I was like, I'm not

501
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: gonna take anybody's money, and I don't know, you know,

502
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: what's going on with you with the climate. And as

503
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: she reached out to me two months later and said

504
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: are you serious about selling? I said we could talk

505
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: about it, and she was like, well, you know, put

506
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: together some numbers and the blueprint and things at that

507
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: such and you you, me and my husband will meet

508
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, and we met. They offered

509
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: me a number, I countered and I sold it tour.

510
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: So wait a second, Wait a second, wait a second,

511
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 2: So this is when't your first thing, like you had

512
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: already had a successful exodus some capacity or yeah, yeah,

513
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: what did you do that? That's interesting because I've had

514
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: some people on here that are similar things like and

515
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: I don't think again people understand like even when you

516
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: have those opportunities, like a lot of stuff falls apart

517
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: of the last minute, like you get those deals done.

518
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: What did you learn kind of going through that whole

519
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: process of selling a business that you're kind of applying

520
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 2: now with Ladies of golf.

521
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Don't sell too quick, say that, sit on it, think

522
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: about it. I feel like I rushed that just because

523
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: I was in like fight or flight mode. Yeah, and

524
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I think for me at that time,

525
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: I was scared to lose the money that I put

526
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: in being in debt. I'm really big on not being

527
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: in debt. Ladies to go off pass me in this now,

528
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: but I'm not afraid of that debt. It's good debt,

529
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: it's rewarding. Eventually, I'll find my way out whatever the case.

530
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: But sit on things. Don't make impulsive decisions. I felt

531
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: like it was an impulsive decision at that time, but

532
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: it worked out the way that it worked out, thankfully.

533
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: But will I do that again?

534
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: No, this one, this one simmer a little bit. Yeah,

535
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: it's still early. Yeah, early, y'all doing.

536
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: This, apparently, take your time figure it out.

537
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: If y'all doing this, I'm sure you know you have

538
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: a little bit more space. You have a lot more

539
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: options with that. Like and one thing you even mentioned

540
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: too is your mom, Like your mom helped you with this,

541
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 2: Like she's also was a co founder, Like how does

542
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: your mom plan in this whole thing?

543
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: So my mom was my co founder, literally my right hand.

544
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: Any of all decisions related to Ladies to go off,

545
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: I make them with her. And it's funny it started

546
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: out because when I brought her in in the beginning,

547
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: it was more so to assist with the admin side

548
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: of things. She even said to herself, she was like,

549
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to be on the forefront. I don't

550
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: want to be in any photos or anything like that.

551
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in meetings, I don't want

552
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: to do any interviews. I don't want to do anything.

553
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I just want to help you on the backside of things.

554
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: And I actually pulled her out of that space because

555
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: I enjoy working with my mom. Even prior to Ladies

556
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: who Golf, Me and my mom have a very close relationship,

557
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: like that is my number two. But it's been a

558
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: journey with her also because no one has your back

559
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: like your mom has your back, right, And my mom

560
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: also doesn't have like biased opinions because I'm her daughter.

561
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: She tells me what it is straight up. So I'm

562
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: happy that I have that because if I'm wrong, if

563
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: the idea is wrong, if we need to pivot. I

564
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: can count on her to ensure that we make the

565
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: best decision possible for the organization itself. And then she's

566
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: just also a great support system, my original investor as

567
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: I like to call her as well. But yeah, it's

568
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: been a it's a great journey being able to make

569
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: these memories with her as well. And I also feel

570
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: like ladysu Goff also gives her a second life because

571
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: she's been able to meet other people build community on

572
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: her own as well. Originally, my mom is from Alabama.

573
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: She's only in Atlanta because of me, so she doesn't

574
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: have family here. We don't have family here. It was

575
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: new for her, different for her leaving home. But I'm

576
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: happy that she's here and once again through this she

577
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: kind of has a second life doing things.

578
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 2: I bet she just smile from ear to ear.

579
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: Yes, she's having a good time seeing.

580
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: How all this stuff is coming together. Y'all. Y'all actually

581
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: get out there and play golf together sometimes too.

582
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes she plays more than I do. Actually, funny enough,

583
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: because my mother never played golf either, so she grew

584
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: up playing softball, okay, and she actually had her own

585
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: softball team. And we actually realized this a couple of

586
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: months ago it was called Lady Majestics Lady Too Goth

587
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: and when I created Lady Too GoF It's been a

588
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: long time, like years, probably like fifteen years since she

589
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: had that softball team, but their colors are the exact

590
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: same color as Ladies Too Golf now, because it's so crazy,

591
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: like how did it come around back to that? But

592
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: she grew up playing softball, so naturally when she started

593
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 1: taking up golf, it wasn't hard for her. But she

594
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: plays more than I do because I am now like

595
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: handling a lot of the ad in side of things.

596
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: But then also I'm really just trying to like push

597
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: her out of that shy shell and getting out more

598
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: and being around people and things of that such, so

599
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: she's out there more than I am. Now we switch rolls.

600
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mom's cool. I remember meeting her at the Falcons

601
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: game that time. You know, Mom's cool. I see she

602
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: gets out there, probably has a good time with it.

603
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah she does, she does.

604
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: Now Again I rattled off from the beginning, it felt

605
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: like about a hundred different cities that y'all are at.

606
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: You know, y'all are also you know, expanding internationally, right

607
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 2: like and all these things are happening, tell us about

608
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: that international expansion, like, how's that going.

609
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: So that will take part July, on the weekend of

610
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: July fourth. So we actually have a partnership with Barbados

611
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Tourism and we are hosting our first members retreat to

612
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: Barbados during that time. It's really just a moment for

613
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: our members to come together all from all over, So

614
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: whether you're in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, everyone's just coming together.

615
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna play some golf, we're gonna do some charity work.

616
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 1: We're also gonna have a little fun as well. But

617
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: we're also going to be hosting our first ladies to

618
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: go off Barbados Golf Clinic, and that's just for the locals,

619
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: getting them introduced to the sport, creating a community for

620
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 1: the women there who've had an interest in the sport

621
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: as well, and so they see us on social media

622
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: and when we announced a partnership with the Barbados, it

623
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: literally took off. I did not think that was gonna happen,

624
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: but that will be our first take on that and

625
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: then growing from there. So ideally we'll be starting with Barbados.

626
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: We have a partnership with five Iron Golf and they

627
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: just actually launched their Dubai location, So we're actually planning

628
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: some things with them later in the year to be

629
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: able to introduce Ladies to go off Dubai as well,

630
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: because that is later in the years.

631
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I told you all the PJ was outside.

632
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: I told you ready to get the fetia. Ready, let's go.

633
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: What would be you know, one of your dream places

634
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: to you know, have a Ladies Who Golf chapter.

635
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: M surprisingly back home Alabama. Okay, so the part of Alabama, Montgomery.

636
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: I know Montgomery very well, Okaystgomery, Montgomery.

637
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: So we got a lot of history there, a lot

638
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: of family legacy there, and I think it's only right,

639
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: but I want to do it the right way. Montgomery

640
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: is not like big city life and things of that such.

641
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: So just ensuring that we do have the community there

642
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: to where it will be successful. That's one of our

643
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: biggest things right now, just ensuring that we will have

644
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: the community there, people who are interested, ladies who are interested.

645
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: But I think at this point it's finally time to

646
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: just just do it and just see what works from there.

647
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: Most of the cities that we have launched in have

648
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: been major metropolitan cities itself, but I do want to

649
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: tap in even to like Augusta Savannah, making, you know,

650
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: the smaller areas where there are ladies there who are

651
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: interested in golf and they don't want to drive up

652
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. It's not ideal to drive all the way

653
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: here for golf. So yeah, working, working, and establishing chapters

654
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: in those smaller areas is the next goal we had.

655
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: We had a laj on on from the East Side

656
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: Golf and the Masters. I just don't know. I feel like,

657
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: if you haven't done already, the Master is going to

658
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: be in your future very soon. That's just something tells

659
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: me that's what's gonna happen.

660
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: We just did the Masters. Oh, we did the Masters.

661
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: We did it. It was man beyond my wildest, wildest expectations.

662
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: So we went on behalf of Delta. I don't know

663
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: what I thought I was going to experience. I thought

664
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: it was just going to be walking the greens, experiencing

665
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: Augusta National, the Pamento cheese sandwiches and things of that such.

666
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: And I actually have not talked much about our experience there.

667
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: So there are these cottages that sits on I want

668
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: to say, like a tenth hole or something like that,

669
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: and it's six of them and they're all owned by

670
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: their major partners, one of them being Delta. The experience

671
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: with Delta was nothing you see that most people are

672
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: posting about. Augusta National. We had five star meals around

673
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: the clock, butler service. We had our own personal photographer

674
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: out on the greens with us, which is crazy because

675
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to have phones and cameras and all that.

676
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: So people were looking at us like who are these

677
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: women and what's going on. But the way that they

678
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: welcomed us Delta actually before golf even became this huge

679
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: thing for women or trend for women in itself, Delta

680
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: has always pushed women in golf forward. They actually have

681
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: a full women in golf sector, which a lot of

682
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: people do not know about. So I'm happy that if

683
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: we were to partner and experience such with any brand,

684
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: it was with them because they truly put the work

685
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: into ensure they pushed forward women in golf. But the

686
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: experience itself was crazy. The greens were beautiful, of course,

687
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: Rory one, so we got to we got to see

688
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: that as well, got to see history being made. But

689
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: it's one of those things I cannot wait to share

690
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: with my kids, my grandkids. I'm like, we went to

691
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: the Masters.

692
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: Look at that.

693
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: So hopefully next year we'll be able to do something

694
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: where we can take members or introduce more members, even

695
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: if it's not everyone, but just being able to share

696
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: that experience with more ladies.

697
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: It's always a beautiful thing, Like we really stop and

698
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: think about it, right like this, I always say, like

699
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: the mind's ability, like the manifest things in reality and

700
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: the things that come out of that. I know I've

701
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: had a lot of moments with butter where it's like

702
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm here because I started this thing

703
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: and it's just kind of like taking off. Like I'm

704
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: sure you have moments like that as well, right especially

705
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 2: at Masters. Is probably one of them.

706
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, it was that I had to stop and

707
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: truly just thank God for the moment, Like I took

708
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: some time off to just go walk by myself and

709
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: look at the greens, like, oh my god, I can't

710
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: believe I'm here. I can't believe I'm close to the

711
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: players like this. I can't believe I get to experience this,

712
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: this little girl from this small town in Alabama. I

713
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: do not come from a wealthy family. My great grandparents

714
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: were a part of the well a part of the

715
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: first Black Panthers Union in Alabama itself. They actually started that.

716
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: My great grandfather was the first black sheriff, the first

717
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: tax commissioner in our town. We're from from a town

718
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: right outside of Montgomery called Lowndes County, and there's a

719
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: show on Peacock called Bloody Lownes. At one point in town,

720
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: Lowndes County was the most dangerous city in America at

721
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: one point in time. So coming from where we come

722
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: from and being able to not only dominate this male feel,

723
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: but this white male feel, I'm sure my great grandfather

724
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: is looking down on us, like this is this is

725
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: where where all of my hard work has gone into.

726
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: So I make sure once again to soak it in,

727
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: to do our part and know that there were people

728
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: that came before us to ensure that we're able to

729
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: take advantage of opportunities like this.

730
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: Oh, I know about Montgomery and the Edmund Pettit's Bridge

731
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: and all that stuff very well. My mom's from Alabama too.

732
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: I always say she's the other La Lower Alabama. I

733
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: got to show you on a mask, Yes, yes, It's

734
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: like it's like I'll just say, like like two hours

735
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: south of Montgomery. You know she's there and there somewhere,

736
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 2: but I know that that route very well. You know

737
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like I've been up and down those streets.

738
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: Like now. One thing is always interesting too, is you

739
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: talk about like the relationship you had with Delta. I

740
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 2: think people think about like partnerships and sponsorships and all

741
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: that stuff, but just even with some of those things,

742
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: like how do those things even come about? These you know,

743
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 2: through members of these like them seeing what y'allre doing

744
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: and reaching out? Are you like pitching them? Like how

745
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: do some of these great opportunities even come about?

746
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: Honestly me in the rooms, So I like to say

747
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: that we truly like have our boots on the ground seriously.

748
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: So we get out here, we make sure we meet people,

749
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: we network any event that we go to, especially I'd

750
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: even like tell my board, this's a while whenever we

751
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: go to Advance and things of that such. We are

752
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: never going to be congregating amongst one another. Everybody needs

753
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: to be out talking to people, getting to know everyone,

754
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: talking about the brand, sharing the story and who we are.

755
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: I could talk to a brick wall, I could talk

756
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: to anyone. So I think that in itself allows me

757
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: to be very approachable. And a lot of brands tend

758
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: to reach out once again solely just wanting to support

759
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: the organization, But I feel like it starts with us.

760
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: We're very welcoming. Our members like to say that as well.

761
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: We're very welcoming, and that's just I think it's just

762
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: like the Southern roots in US, and because of such, everybody,

763
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 1: everybody wants to see us when truly we put out

764
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: good things, so we get good things back. Our members

765
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: as well. They ensure that whatever that they can do

766
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: on behalf of ladies who golf and connecting us in

767
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: the right areas. They do that as well. Social media.

768
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people are reaching out via social media

769
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: as well. Social media. Honestly, we have taken advantage of that,

770
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: and I'm going to continue to take advantage of social media,

771
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: just putting the word out there and making sure the

772
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: visibility is there as well. But a lot of it's

773
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: meeting people in person, making sure that you connect and

774
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: talk to people. But our members also do their part

775
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: as well.

776
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: Okay, now again you talk about your board and everything else,

777
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 2: one of the things I hear about when people come on,

778
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 2: especially people that are building things on better Nomics, they

779
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: talk about building that team and like getting the right

780
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: people you know on your side, Like what's that whole

781
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: experience been like, you know, and what's it taught you

782
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: about leadership?

783
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: Up and down, up and down, trying to ensure that

784
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to have anybody apart just

785
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 1: to have them apart. Everyone needs to be able to

786
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: be an asset, whatever way that is. And I had

787
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: to take my personal feelings out of some things as well.

788
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: So starting this out as a hobby, I am very

789
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: attached to ladies who golf, So it was very hard

790
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: going from this being something I loved on a personal

791
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: scale to this is now a business and you have

792
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: to treat it as such. Two completely different mindsets and

793
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: I am still trying to wrap my head around that

794
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: as well. But I get attached to our members, I

795
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: get attached to our board, I get very attached. And

796
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: my mom have to tell me this all the time.

797
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: You can't do that because you're gonna drive yourself insane.

798
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: So making sure that you have a great team, it

799
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: takes time, and everyone should take time to build such

800
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: setting boundaries as well is a big thing. Having a

801
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: great eye for discernment is one of the things I'm

802
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: also learning as well. All within the last year, i

803
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: want to say, and I still have a lot to learn,

804
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: but I'm thankful and I feel very confident that we

805
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: have a great team, we have a great board. Everybody

806
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of has their own thing that they get to

807
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: do within and I try to attach everyone's not personal work,

808
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: but what they have a passion for from a personal

809
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: level along with what they're doing with the ladies who

810
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: go off so like the ladies who are over our

811
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: wellness are wellness and social sectors, that's something that they

812
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: already have a passion for and do on their own,

813
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: so it's easy to be able to implement that implement

814
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: that here as well. Those who are over strategic partnerships,

815
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: that's something that they do in their real time, day

816
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: to day life as well. So it kind of it

817
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: worked out that way, which is what it should be anyways.

818
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: But I think we're at the point where we have

819
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: a great team, a solid team, a great foundation, and

820
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 1: things may change within you know the next few months

821
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: or years or whatever the case. But not being afraid

822
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: to make those changes. Also, it's another thing that I'm

823
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: learning as well.

824
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, like again it's somebody said at

825
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: once it was like you have to be open to

826
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: like editing the team is how they come look at it, right,

827
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 2: Because again, like again, like you know, I remember talking

828
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: to Jasmin Crow from Good around here. She's like, yeah,

829
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: the folks that get you to a million might not

830
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: get you to ten million, you know, might get you

831
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: to fifty, right, And so you've got to be open

832
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: to that and figure out how to kind of grow it.

833
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: You know, Atlanta's interesting because I always say, like Atlanta's

834
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: like a hustling city and a lot of people out here,

835
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: you know, they talk about entrepreneurship, and what you notice

836
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 2: is they haven't actually had corporate jobs. And personally, as

837
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: a person that's been in corporate myself and been in

838
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: there for a while and like work my way up,

839
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: you know, all the way up down that ladder, I

840
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: think you learn a lot. You learn a lot about

841
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 2: running business and a lot of things you kind of

842
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: notice with people like you know, I know you're just

843
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 2: trying to figure it out, but like this is actually

844
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 2: how you do things, Like how did your experience in

845
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 2: corporate kind of help you know, train you and get

846
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,479
Speaker 2: you ready for what you're doing right now with Ladies

847
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: Who Golf.

848
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: Everything I know right now for Ladies Who GoF is

849
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: something I learned in my corporate life. Honestly, I don't

850
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: think anyone should venture into entrepreneurship until you've had corporate experience.

851
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: It's a cheat code. Honestly. You should be utilizing that

852
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: time making money on somebody else's dime to push for

853
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: what you want to do. So from sales to marketing

854
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: to just learning how to talk to people, learning how

855
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: to learning how to handle business deals and meetings and

856
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: partnerships and asking for what I want, demanding what I want.

857
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: I learned that from the sales structure of things, and

858
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: then also being a woman in a male dominant role

859
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: of thirty five people on my team, there was only

860
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: two women, so I had to learn how to advocate

861
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: for myself, which has now taught me how to advocate

862
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: for others, advocate for our members, advocate for the women

863
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: that want to play golf. All because once again I

864
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: have that corporate experience. I even have mentees now they'll

865
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: come to me and they'll say, you know. I just

866
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: really I want to have a meeting because now I

867
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: am thinking about tapping into entrepreneurship. I have this great idea,

868
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: this is something that I want to do. On the

869
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: first thing I always ask, even if they're not a mentor,

870
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: this question has come up, Dunton, so what do you

871
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: do now? And they tell me, and I'm like, oh, well,

872
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: how long have you owned your company? Oh yeah, I

873
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: just graduated school about a year ago, and I've only

874
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: been with this company for a couple months or a year.

875
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: We can't even have a conversation about entrepreneurship because you

876
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: have not learned enough. And I Am not going to

877
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: do you a disservice by telling you, no, go ahead,

878
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: tap into entrepreneurship. That's the ways of the land. We

879
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: should be working for ourselves and things of that such. No,

880
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 1: you need to learn all that you can on someone

881
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: else's dime rather than on your own, because you are

882
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: going to fail even if you do have that experience.

883
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: We experience failures, everyone does. But I feel as though

884
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: the crash would be a little bit less painful if

885
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: you did have that experience under your belt from the

886
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: corporate structure. So I'm really big on that.

887
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, you get a chance to, like you said,

888
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: learn just how to do business. Like I think a

889
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: lot of people out here trying to just hustle and

890
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: figure it out. And hustle can take you a certain way,

891
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 2: but at a certain point you got to really understand, like, Okay,

892
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: this is how business operates, it's how you do certain things.

893
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: If not, it's just it just makes things easier for you.

894
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: And I can see that a lot of people, and

895
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 2: I gotta give them that same advice, like, look, man,

896
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: look I understand you want to be an entrepreneur. It's

897
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: totally cool. But like you do things a certain kind

898
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 2: of way for a certain kind of reason. It doesn't

899
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: have to be hard, you know, make it a lot

900
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: harder for ourselves exactly.

901
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: I definitely thought this was going to be a lot

902
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: harder than it is. And I think the reason why

903
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: it's not is because I know how to talk my

904
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: way into things. I know how to ask for what

905
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: I want and know how to advocate for what I

906
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: want now and a lot of it. I feel like

907
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I get on behalf of

908
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: Ladies too, golf or establish for the organizations, partnerships and

909
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 1: sponsorships and things of that such is because I'm very

910
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: confident even if I'm not sure, even if I don't

911
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: have all the answers, I'm still very confident in what

912
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: I want and what I stand on. And people see that,

913
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: and that's a part of leadership that some people do,

914
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: like confidence is everything, and you can learn everything else

915
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: along the way, and a lot of people will actually

916
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: offer to teach you along the way, but as long

917
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: as you have the confidence, they're willing to back that

918
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: any day.

919
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 2: Now, you mentioned like being people are in the like

920
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: failures and stuff. Is there anything that you all have

921
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: tried to do, like it just hasn't worked out, but

922
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: it really taught you something about the business and what

923
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: you're doing in general.

924
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: The scaling part, as I mentioned earlier, not trying to

925
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: scale too fast. At one point it's time we was

926
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,439
Speaker 1: excited to say, oh yeah, we got seventeen chapters, we're

927
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna be in this city, in this city. And that

928
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: was actually on behalf of our partnership with five Iron

929
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: because they were located in all of those areas and

930
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: so we just thought it would be a great idea

931
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: if we just go ahead and established ladies who golf

932
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: chapters in those areas with them, and for a few

933
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: months it did really well. And this is where my

934
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 1: personal attachment comes into play. We couldn't develop those personal

935
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: relationships with those members in those areas, and I feel

936
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 1: as if it wasn't what we were doing in Atlanta

937
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: wasn't resonating in those other areas. Even though we have

938
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: ambassadors and things of that such to advocate on our behalf,

939
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: it's not the same. So I didn't want to risk

940
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: once again crashing because of such. And I was willing

941
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: to also, you know, take the hit to the chin

942
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: and have to scale back. And that's just what it is.

943
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: And that was the best thing I could have done

944
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: for our organization so far, because now I feel as

945
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: though we get to gradually scale and make an even

946
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: bigger difference. And when it gets to that point and

947
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: we want to add in more cities, we will do that.

948
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're launching Palm Beach this weekend, which is

949
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: very exciting, but it's one at a time rather than

950
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: everything all at once. You need to make sure you

951
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: have a you know, I actually watched a video this

952
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: morning Donnie Wiggins from her podcast and she mentioned, you know,

953
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: with scaling, you also need to make sure you have

954
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: a checklist for every every moment that you decide to

955
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: make with your business. And when we were scaling, I

956
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: needed a checklist for each chapter rather than a broad

957
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: checklist that I'm trying to make work for everyone. It

958
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: doesn't work like that. Every every location is different, every

959
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: the culture is different everywhere. So having to realize that

960
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: that was a good point that she made, and that's

961
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: exactly one of the sentiments I realized early on. You

962
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: need to have a checklist for everything that you're doing

963
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: regarding your business.

964
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: And let me ask you, I'm asking this question for

965
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: a very specific reason too. When you, again I called

966
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: a failure just not working out. But like when that

967
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: those things happen, did anybody laugh at you? Did anybody

968
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 2: tell you ahaha, or or did like you just you

969
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: just kept going like what happened?

970
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: No, because no one knew exact.

971
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 2: So the reason why I say that is because again,

972
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: like people I think gets so caught up and thinking

973
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: that if they do something and it doesn't work out,

974
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: there's somebody quick the point at it and you're like, God, yeah,

975
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: you messed up, And I'm like no, like I'm not

976
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: saying nobody cares, but like nobody's gonna notice, like the

977
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: way you're gonna know, you know what, you make the

978
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 2: decision and you just keep moving and life goes on

979
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 2: exactly exactly.

980
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, that was kind of my

981
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: mindset as well, but having to get myself out of

982
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: that mind frame, like everyone's not watching everything that you're on,

983
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: like no one cares, No one cares. And I think

984
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of people have to realize. No

985
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: one's watching every single move that you're making. I mean,

986
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: you may have a couple of people here and there,

987
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: but if they are, they're not even on your level

988
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: to even have the time to be able to do that.

989
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: Let's start it there so no one cares. Do what

990
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: you need to do, what's best for you and keep

991
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: it going. But no no one knew.

992
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I'm just saying I just I just

993
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: want to ask that specific questions. I do feel like

994
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 2: a lot of signs people either don't do things, or

995
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: they hold on for something too long, or they don't

996
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: want to make those decisions because they think there's like

997
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: somebody's going to pop up and call them out. And

998
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 2: I'm like no, that's not what's going to happen, y'all.

999
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: Like you just you do it and again, if you

1000
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 2: take a little bump, you learn from it and you

1001
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: keep on moving. Like very there are very few situations

1002
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: in which you're even in that kind of you know,

1003
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: situation in the first place, right, Like this is not

1004
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 2: always say this isn't rocket surgery.

1005
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm really big on lot like not sitting

1006
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: in things. Yeah, meaning if it's something bad, like say, friends,

1007
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: if I do fail at something, I give myself my goal.

1008
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. My rule you have one day to be

1009
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: mad about it, cry about it, whatever you want to do,

1010
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: soaking if you don't want to work for the day,

1011
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: if you don't bother with anyone, you take that one day,

1012
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: But that next day you need to be back on it,

1013
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: get back out. So I always make sure I say

1014
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: that and I do that once again. I want to

1015
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: make sure I am taking the time out to feel

1016
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: things and to experience whatever the case. But I'm not

1017
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: going to send it in too long.

1018
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: Absolutely Now. Earlier you talked about the other program you'll

1019
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 2: have is called Girls Who Golf, and then there was

1020
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 2: another what was it called.

1021
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: The so originally it was girls to Golf, and we

1022
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: just changed it to future Leaders.

1023
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 2: Future leaders of golf as it is now, like what

1024
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 2: kind of impact are you seeing with that?

1025
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, So I would have never thought for

1026
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: one with this are Our idea was to partner with

1027
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: eight different organizations, Atlanta based organizations and have these golf

1028
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: clinics for their kids, just a summer program itself. And

1029
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: when we had our first it went really really well.

1030
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: But then we started to get in contact with different

1031
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: celebrities who have their own golf tournaments. So our most

1032
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: recent one was Neo's first golf tournament and he has

1033
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,959
Speaker 1: a foundation in which they work with. They work with

1034
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: an orphanage itself as well, and they wanted to introduce

1035
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: some of the kids to the sport. They also had

1036
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: some of the kids out there from hundred one hundred

1037
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: Black Men as well, but they wanted to have a

1038
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: clinic sector for the kids in addition to the golf

1039
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: tournament for the actual players. And I think that's going

1040
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: to be a big trend that ends up happening over

1041
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 1: the next year or two because it's a great way

1042
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: once again to give back. Most of the time when

1043
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: celebrities are having their charity golf tournaments. It's to give

1044
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: money back to these youth programs itself, But why aren't

1045
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: you involving the kids in the actual sport as well,

1046
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: Especially we're talking minorities. We need the sport to be

1047
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: introduced to more of our kids, and I feel like

1048
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: it starts with us because black kids don't look at

1049
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: golf like they look at football or basketball. It's not

1050
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: looked at as a cool sport like it's for like

1051
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, private school kids or whatever the case. It's

1052
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: the lame sport. Let's just call it what it is.

1053
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: They look at it as a lame sport. There's eighteen

1054
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: million dollars a year in college scholarships that are left

1055
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: on the table for black kids. They don't have to

1056
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: be good at the sport, they don't have to be

1057
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: interested in taking it pro. They just want them to

1058
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: have that money towards whatever they want to utilize it

1059
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: for for school itself, and we need more kids taking

1060
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 1: advantage of that. So for me, right now, it's about

1061
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: introducing these kids to the sport now early on. I

1062
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: don't want them to miss out on that opportunity. And

1063
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: I may actually I can talk about this now because

1064
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: it's solidified, so we're actually matching and partnering with Live Golf. Okay,

1065
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: they're actually going to be having their first tournament of

1066
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: the season in Virginia next month. One of their teams,

1067
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: Smash Golf, actually has a golf scholarship that they give

1068
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: out to their kids, and we're going to be matching

1069
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: that scholarship as well. But the goal is to get

1070
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 1: more people involve, more golfers involved, to match as well

1071
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: and make that scholarship more than what it is already

1072
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: so that we can award it to more kids and

1073
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: we're actually going to be instead of one golfer. Originally

1074
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: it was one golfer that they're going to be choosing,

1075
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 1: but now with our partnership, we actually to get to

1076
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: choose the second golfer, which is going to be a

1077
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: female junior golfer. So they have to be a senior

1078
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: in high school and there the criteria. It's actually not

1079
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 1: much like you just have to have a two point

1080
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: five gpa conductor a mini essay, but they can use

1081
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: those funds for whatever they want regarding school. They don't

1082
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: even have to be going to school to golf, but

1083
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: they're current currently junior golfers itself, So even the even

1084
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,839
Speaker 1: the the insight from that and just knowing that Live

1085
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: is going to be backing us itself. So I don't

1086
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: know if you know, but Live is based in Saudia, Arabia,

1087
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: and the fact that they're going to be technically their

1088
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: first major partnership in the US is going to be

1089
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: with us is a really really big deal. I think

1090
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: it's going to put Atlanta on the map even broader

1091
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: in the golf sector itself. So I'm really excited.

1092
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: About That's came in and shook everything up a couple.

1093
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: Of years ago, did they did? And I love what

1094
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: they're doing itself because it's really for it's really about

1095
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: the culture of golf, and we're about the culture of golf.

1096
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: So the fact that we get to partner with them

1097
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: and have them backing our small organization, small but mighty,

1098
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a big deal for us.

1099
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well, when you talk about culture, you know,

1100
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 2: you fast forward a second. You know, five years down

1101
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: the road, ladies, golf is getting Arbatos and you know,

1102
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,919
Speaker 2: in Dubai and all these amazing places and who else

1103
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 2: knows where it's gonna be like what do you what

1104
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 2: do you what is successful like? And like what do

1105
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: you want your impact to be like? Not just from

1106
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 2: like a size and like money standpoint, but really like

1107
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: culturally when it comes to golf, I need.

1108
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: Ladies who have to be in every state in America, Okay,

1109
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: okay For one, in addition to our future Leaders of

1110
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: Golf program, I want to conduct a large college scholarship

1111
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: program for our kids when it comes to golf. In

1112
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: addition to corporate engagement programs itself, I don't want to

1113
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: leave out our ladies or the gentlemen as well. I

1114
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: also want to make the sport more welcoming to black

1115
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: men who haven't tapped into it just yet as well.

1116
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 1: From a lesson standpoint, we have some black men who

1117
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 1: are very interested in golf, but they don't think they're

1118
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: going to be as good as the guys they already

1119
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 1: see out there. But they're also their ego gets in

1120
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: the way of them taking lessons as well, and we

1121
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: need to make it cool for our black men and

1122
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: want to take lessons and participate in golf clinics and

1123
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: things of that such as well. So that's one of

1124
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: one of the things I definitely want to tap into

1125
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: as well, because I don't see that happening enough.

1126
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're definitely if we haven't already, one

1127
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: of ever think there were just at an inflection point

1128
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: in the culture when it comes to just like black

1129
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: people in golf in general. Like I was at the

1130
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 2: Tour Championship last year and kind of hanging out and

1131
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: I got a shirt, and it's always fainn like whenever

1132
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: I walk around with my PGA Tour shirt on, I

1133
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 2: get stopped at least two or three times, like, oh

1134
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 2: do you play hey, hey conversations. It's a conversation starter.

1135
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 2: So I'm telling people like, yeah, it's time to go

1136
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: on out there, y'all.

1137
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: I did that the other day. I went to a

1138
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: event for Marie Claire and it was a panel event

1139
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: at the Saint Regis, and I knew everyone was going

1140
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: to be dressed up, like I knew it, and I

1141
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, how are you going to stand out?

1142
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: How are you going to naturally have people come up

1143
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: to you and just want to talk to you. I

1144
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: threw all my green Master's jackets that I have, and

1145
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: I throw my Master's baseball cap. I'm the only person

1146
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: in there with a baseball cap on. But if you

1147
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,280
Speaker 1: look at all the media regarding that event, guess who's everywhere?

1148
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: Guess who was talking to everyone? And that's a lot

1149
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: of things. Another thing people have to realize too, you

1150
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: are your brand, market yourself, market your brand through yourself

1151
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: as well. And that's exactly what I did and it

1152
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 1: worked out best. But it is a conversation starter. People

1153
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: want to know, did you go to the Master's Oh

1154
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: my gosh, Like, how was that? What was that like?

1155
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: So you're a woman who golf? Really? Oh, you have

1156
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: an organization? How can I join? How can I support?

1157
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: How can we sponsor? Oh? I also heard about you

1158
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: as well, but we didn't know a lot of people

1159
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: don't even know that we're based here in Atlanta. They

1160
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,759
Speaker 1: don't know that at all, which is so crazy. I

1161
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: think I need to do a little bit more marketing

1162
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: on that band. But since we're everywhere now, no one

1163
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: really knows exactly where we're based unless you know we're

1164
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: based here in Atlanta. But yeah, it's a great conversation starter.

1165
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, look.

1166
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that if they don't know, they're

1167
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 2: gonna know very soon. So congratulations on everything. Again. The
