Описание: In today's episode, I sit down with Joe Wessel—former Florida State safety and coach, author of White Fang and the Golden Bear, and someone who experienced Jack Nicklaus's life, leadership, and family values up close.


Joe shares what truly separated Jack from the rest of the golf world: his innate athleticism, his unusual ability to make multiple in-swing adjustments, and—most importantly—his commitment to never letting his family become collateral damage on his path to greatness.


We explore how single-minded drive can fuel extraordinary success or quietly destroy relationships, and how intentional priorities, time management, and communication allow you to be fully present both at work and at home.


You'll walk away with powerful insights on leadership, family, legacy, and what it truly means to pursue excellence in golf, business, and life.


In this episode, you'll learn:


• How Jack Nicklaus's intangibles, athleticism, and preparation created a different level of competitive advantage

• The difference between healthy single-minded focus and destructive obsession that destroys families

• How intentional time management and clear priorities allow you to be all-in at work and all-in at home

• Why perseverance after failure matters more than natural talent—on the field, in business, and on the course

• How to recognize the heroes already in your life and what that means for how you show up for your kids

• Why documenting your story—letters, journals, recordings—is one of the most powerful gifts you can give your family

• How faith, family, and purpose can become your north star for every decision you make in golf, business, and life


Get your pencils ready and start listening.
