🎙️ Episode 7 — From Augusta to Tacoma

In Episode 7, we welcome our very first guest: Robert Silky, Golf & Business Operations Coordinator at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, Washington. A PGA Member with experience at Gold Mountain, Chambers Bay, and Augusta National, Robert shares his big “why,” what keeps him grounded, and how golf can be a vehicle for leadership, community, and connection.

This episode also marks a shift in how we edit and share this podcast. We're moving away from polished perfection and leaning into a more real and human approach. You may hear a mic glitch, a bit of echo, or a few unfiltered moments—because this is Dakota’s first time editing three voices, and also because life doesn’t always come with clean audio.

We talk about:

• Robert’s path from Augusta to Tacoma
• Community-building through golf operations
• Introspection, storytelling, and leading with purpose
• Tournaments and their impact
• Par, handicap, and the math of play
• A few tangents (Roman Empires, fake ads, and more)
• Taking up space and giving ourselves permission to be learning

This episode also comes after a short break to care for mental health and family—especially Dakota’s dad, whose love of golf helped shape the heart of this show.

We’re learning, growing, and grateful you’re here for it.
