Season 2 Preview — We're Back, and Delusional as Ever

S2E3: Family First, On and Off the Course (feat. Scott McNealy)

Episode 3 of The Golfing CEO features a guest who almost perfectly embodies the title of this podcast: Scott McNealy, co-founder and former CEO of Sun Microsystems, and father of PGA TOUR standout Maverick McNealy, as well as three other boys who reached higher levels of golf than most of us can only dream about. Join Derek and Scott as they discuss leadership, competition, using golf as a strategic business tool, and why Scott chose to put four boys in the same bedroom, even though there was plenty of room not to. * Enjoying the show?

S2EP1: Against the grain, and better for it (feat. Ray Lane)

Welcome back to Season 2 of The Golfing CEO, where Derek Belch explores how far dreams, drive, and a dose of delusion can take us in the pursuit of the impossible. Joining him to kick off the second season of the pod is former Oracle President & COO Ray Lane, who invested in Derek’s company nearly ten years ago and has sat on Strivr’s board ever since. Join Derek and Ray as they talk about Ray’s decision to take the Oracle job (despite strong opposition from his personal network), why he chose to go into Venture Capital (again, despite conventional wisdom from those around him), and what makes for a successful startup. * Enjoying the show?

Season 2 Preview — We're Back, and Delusional as Ever

It's Season 2 of The Golfing CEO, and Derek is back and just as delusional as ever. This season will feature 18 bi-weekly episodes with more amazing guests, who are eager to share their stories, both told and untold, on and off the course.

S1E18: The Strivr Story - Chapter 2 (feat. Mike Colucci and Peter Murray)

In the final episode of Season 1, Derek and co-founder & COO Michael Manuccia wrap up the story of Strivr’s first two years in business — this time with help from two of the company’s earliest employees who lived it day-in and day-out… Mike Colucci and Peter Murray. From spending endless days on NFL practice fields to creating virtual reality content for the U.S. National Soccer and Ski teams, Mike and Peter share what it was like to be “boots on the ground” during Strivr’s scrappy, early days. Together, the group reflects on the realities of building something from nothing, the chaos that comes with growth, and why Strivr’s early hiring practices were… let’s just say, unconventional. It’s a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the moments, lessons, and people that shaped Strivr from the very beginning. * For more information about Strivr, check out www.strivr.com [http://www.strivr.com]. * For more information about Strivr’s latest product launch, check out workwise.strivr.com [http://workwise.strivr.com]. * Enjoying The Golfing CEO?
