  • #020 - Rick Shiels gets some "me time"

    Rick Shiels has a golf content and YouTube empire, made of millions of fans and subscribers. But he took some time to talk to Connor and Bradford about what "me time" looks and feels like to him. The "Monster", as he calls it, referring to golf content social media machine, can sometimes feel like something we MUST do. We caught up with Rick at a time when he realized just how important self-care is to the creative process, and to be the best version of himself FOR himself, for his subscribers and fans, and for his family.

  • #017 - Jungle's Tom McFarland from a tour bus
    GGT is going musical. Tom McFarland is not a professional golfer, or even in the industry at all: he's a founder of British electronic band, Jungle. AND he's recently gotten back into golf. After a pandemic-induced 18 months travel break, Tom and the band hit the US for a nationwide tour. He caught up with the GGT shrinks from his tour bus in Omaha, Nebraska. Loads covered in this session: learning to cope with negativity on the golf course, being a new parent while on the road, and playing golf in memory of family.

Did she steal from Andre Iguodala? You be the judge.
