#17 - Doug Bireley - How to Live, Work, Evolve & "Keep It All In Perspective"

Not everything was easy for Doug. Anxiety as a young man. Imposter syndrome as a professional. Too many relocations to count. Even laid off after 20 years. Doug is a great example of how you can use your attitude, resilience, and the support of an incredible family, to always come out on top. I love when I meet a great human. There is no doubt Doug is exactly that. Enjoy this conversation with Doug Bireley.

My Badass Friends - Episode 14 - "The Hacks" on How Golf Mirrors Life

Joe Moore, Orland Mott, Bryce Storie, Nick Zambeck and Paul McClintock make up the golf group they call "The Hacks". This is a discussion over cocktails with all 5 of us at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California. I thought it was going to predominantly be about golf, the sport we love, but it ended up being more of a discussion about life. This episode was different, but it was super fun. What great friends! I hope you enjoy it!
