Show notes

Welcome back Uli! My old Co-Host Paul Ulibarri joins me for an episode about his come up in the world of disc golf. From turning down college scholarships to taking buses to NT events, his answers to the never ending "how bad do you want it" questions are incredibly inspiring.

Brian's Beginner Disc Dilemma - Rabbit Hole #1 Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

After making some lame excuses for why I didn't make any new episodes this past winter, I open up the 2020 season with a pilot a new segment called "Rabbit Holes" where my goal is to capture the weird theories that touring professional disc golfers develop during their years on the road. Whether it's about equipment, athletic development, or the future of the sport itself, here's to hoping we can find something unexpected hidden deep within the minds of our sports best players.
In this particular segment I rant about how new "beginner friendly" discs can potentially cause some seriously bad habits in the players they're marketed towards.

Show notes

At the 2019 USDGC I had the pleasure of sitting down with former World Putting Champion and infamous scramble master Matt Bell to talk about the similarities between the disc golf and surfing communities, his philosophy behind the "run everything" mindset, and how he's gotten to where he's currently at in the game.

Joel Freeman - "Who gives a rip about 55th?" Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

Shortly after interviewing Seppo Paju at the Green Mountain Championships I was able to sit down with Joel Freeman to figure out where this man of many talents went from an aspiring singer, actor, and dancer to a full time professional disc golfer who found a way to pay off his college debt through his new career path. Joel displays immense self awareness in this episode and his straight forward, no-nonsense method of self-talk and goal setting was extremely inspiring to listen to.

With the 2019 World Championships approaching, I sat down with Kevin Jones to dig into how it only took 2 years for him to go from a 978 rated ex-football player to a threat to win every event he signs up for.

Eric Oakley's Ascent Aug 08, 2019

Show notes

With my trusty sidekick AJ Risley, I sit down with Eric Oakley before the 2019 Pro World Championships to talk about his choice to never play an amateur event, his experiences touring as a 951 rated Open player, and why none of his shortcomings seemed to discourage him along his journey towards making a career out of the game he loves.

P.S. I drop the F-Bomb twice, my bad.
