Shawn Dill and Christian Galt are entrepreneurs who spend a lot of time thinking about leadership and growth, both in the boardroom and, just as often, on the golf course. Their Hit 'Em Straight Podcast operates on a simple but powerful premise: the fairway is a fantastic classroom. Every round presents a new case study in human behavior, from the unspoken rules of etiquette to the heat of friendly rivalry and those moments of unexpected conflict. They take these very real stories from the links and use them as a lens to examine the parallel challenges we face in building businesses and navigating personal development. You’ll hear conversations that dig into the nuance of handling a misunderstanding with a partner or client, the discipline required to lead a team through a tough project, and how the camaraderie of a foursome can mirror the support needed in entrepreneurship. It’s less about swing mechanics and more about the mental game, translating the patience, strategy, and integrity the sport demands into actionable insights for your professional journey. This podcast offers a refreshing blend of casual storytelling and substantive discussion, perfect for anyone who sees the connections between how you play the game and how you live your life. Tune in for honest reflections from two hosts who are as passionate about the lessons learned on the eighteenth green as they are about the ones from their latest venture.
