From Indian Wells during the 6th annual APN Golf weekend, Frank Stirpe Jr. reflects on how Above Par Network began in January 2019 as his personal “Rolodex” for solving inevitable life and business problems, then evolved into a service-first, relationship-driven community of about 400 members with chapters in Phoenix and Myrtle Beach. He contrasts APN’s culture of “builders over bullshitters” with traditional transactional networking, describing programs ranging from happy hours, lunch mobs, Breakfast of Champions, and roundtables to retreats, majors-style golf events, and unconventional outings, all designed to create connection, experiences, and collaboration. Frank discusses growth through COVID, protecting culture through member referrals and selectivity, expanding cross-chapter opportunities, and future possibilities like more chapters and an annual conference, emphasizing legacy, authenticity, and surrounding yourself with the right people.
