I’m sitting down with the co-hosts of the Chasing Scratch podcast, Mike Shade and Eli Strait, to talk about it all from the hurdles of tournament play, to golf fashion faux pas, to finding podcast success. Listen in as Mike and Eli peel back the curtain on the creative process behind their hit show. They reveal how their long-standing friendship has become the bedrock of the podcast, with their daily conversations naturally evolving into engaging long-form material. Their unique blend of humor and pop culture references keeps listeners hooked, while they also address the challenges of juggling the love for golf with family and work life. It's a fascinating peek into the duo’s commitment to delivering content that strikes the perfect balance between being entertaining, heartfelt, and actionable. We reflect on the mindset that it takes to go the distance in golf, as well as the journey to Ireland that connected us with an incredible community of fellow lovers of the sport. We talk personal anecdotes that resonate with anyone who's faced the mental blocks that come with competition.
