Welcome back, everyone, to Emerging Entrepreneurs. Thank you so much for joining me on today's episode. Today I am super excited because I have a couple guys that I watch on YouTube pretty religiously, and they're from the channel Golfholics. And so if you've ever seen their content, you know that, you know, they. They do course blogs all around the country, all around the world, and they've been to tons of different courses and basically highlight all these really cool courses that they get the opportunity to play and everything like that. And so today here with me, I have Marco, AKA Big Cat, and Mike, AKA Coach. So, guys, thank you so much for being on the show.

Thanks for having us.

Yeah, happy to be on.

Yeah, of course. So just for people who don't know, because for my audience, I don't know how many people are familiar with you guys and your channel go ahead and talk about exactly what you guys do in a little more detail.

Yeah, so we make golf videos that hopefully get people excited about playing the game of golf. So we don't do any instructional type stuff. We just literally go out, play rounds with brands. We have all kinds of different guests on the channel, whether it's up and coming junior players or, you know, celebrities or whatnot, and just. Just go out there and show every shot that we hit, the good, bad and ugly. And, you know, we try to film it in a way so it's somewhat entertaining, hopefully. And yeah, we did. We just have a good time with it and we've been blessed to have the channel really grow over the last couple years. And the response has been phenomenal from people. So that just literally keeps us going and constantly just trying to elevate and take it to the next level.

Yeah, for sure.

So talk about how you guys got started with this. So, you know, did it start as something that you guys knew you were going to try to grow, or was it just two buddies filming their shots on the course? And it kind of just grew into this.

So Marco ended up bringing a camera out, wanting to try the Kirkland golf ball. Of course, I wasn't really too keen on him doing that because, you know, golf is kind of our sanctuary place that we go and have fun with our boys and, you know, just, you know, get away from everyday stresses of life. And make a long story short, Marco wanted me to try out the Kirkland golf ball. And I didn't have any interest in it, didn't want to have any part of it. So I said something sarcastic. And it was on his personal channel at the time, and he got a lot of engagement with it. And of course, after that, he was like, hey, what do you think about, you know, starting, you know, a YouTube channel with course blogs and whatnot? And Obviously it was 100% his idea. His mind created it. And so then I was fighting him for a really long time. And then he invited me up to Vegas to a convention and he said, let's go play Cascada, which is a great golf course up in Vegas. And so we filmed it, had a great time, got a lot of good positive feedback, and that kind of was the beginning. And from there we just kind of continued on with playing different courses, having different guests, and incorporating a number of different players, and seemed like it was just trending. And we got a lot of good positive feedback. And, you know, we just now, two and a half years later almost. Here we are with a great community that we are lucky enough to have and you know, it's everything that we probably hoped it would be and more. And we built a lot of really great friendships out of it. And friends of the channel that have become friends are up in LA and different parts of the country are connecting which our whole goal was try and grow the game of golf, have fun with it and show the fun side of it so people can get out and really just enjoy the game. Like we enjoy the game and have fun.

Yeah, for sure.

So with so many different golf channels out there, you know, you have scratch tv, you have Eric Enders laying, you have no laying up all those types of things, especially just in a business sense, kind of just staying in your lane when there's so many different. When there's so many different channels out there that sometimes you might see they get more engagement on their stuff or anything like that. What has kept you guys going with what you're doing rather than going a different course and just staying true to your guys self?

I think for us it's pretty easy because we know that we've tried to go out and make you know, instructional videos or do reviews and it's just not in our nature. Like we're not like the review kind of guys. We, I mean we like you know, trying different products and doing some of the stuff but we, we like to do it in our own way which is usually a little bit more organic, you know, and less like on a trackman giving you like very specific data on every single shot. We're more field players and I think that trends that kind of goes into our channel that we just kind of go with it and follow our hearts and really what makes us happy or not. So I think using the barometer of like do we enjoy what we're actually doing is really what we've listened to and doing course blogs is fun for us. Right. Like we get to play golf with fun and we have this memory that we get to go back and rewatch and it's really fun. Now if I was doing an instructional video or Mike was teaching people how to hit a punch shot, would I go back and watch that like 100 times and probably not. You know, I'm sure people would like to see it. Don't get me wrong, it's not something that we would like be super passionate about. I don't think so. We just follow our passion and we do it what feels right to us. And we know there's guys creating a Lot of awesome content around all the different aspects of golf. And I think there's a lot of good channels that are doing a really good job at it. And yeah, so like you said, we stay in our own lane and kind of just focus on the stuff that makes us happy.

Yeah, for sure.

And these guys are kind of talking modestly about themselves, but definitely got to give them credit, their YouTube channel has over 60,000 subscribers. I think that's what it's at now. You guys are a little over 60,000, correct?

I think it's like 65,000 or something. 65, yeah.

So, yeah, so they're definitely being. They're definitely being modest about it. So for sure, they've been able to create a really big brand around the game of golf. And that's kind of what I want to transition to next, is just talking about your guys brand. Like, when did you realize that it was time to kind of like, monetize the brand? And you guys always promoting your hats and your gear on the vlogs and everything. And you guys have golf balls now. Like, when did you guys start doing that?

We started that pretty early on into the channel. We knew that it'd be fun to have our own merch and stuff like that. And we saw pretty early on that we're not going to be able to make, like a living off of just YouTube revenue. So we kind of looked at what other channels outside of the golf world were doing in general and got some ideas there and felt like we needed to do a rebrand on our logo or our branding. So we did that pretty early on because it's one of those things that people get attached to. And we did that because the feedback we were getting from the companies we were working with, whether it be like a Flex Fit or a callaway, like printing the old logo, it was not really formatted for embroidery and print. So we took those steps early on to really give us kind of make life a little bit easier as we build the brand out. And, yeah, we've just been having fun with it, to be honest. I mean, we would often ask people for feedback on what they want to see in the store. So let that guide our decisions. Just like we have with the blog itself or with our Porsche blogs. We've asked for feedback. People told us they wanted shot tracers, they wanted more drone shots, and we just. We let people kind of dictate what they want to see and if we're able to work it into our style and how we're doing it. And we did It. And same with the merch. So the merch has been. I think it's been a lot of fun creating it, but it's also been like, a lot of unknowns and figuring out inventory and, like, lead times on, you know, the shirts, I think took what, five months to get. Yeah, it was.

Getting it all correct and the way we like it. We're very specific on how we like our hats, our shirts, and everything else. We want to have a good quality product. If people are going to be spending money and buying our brand, we want to make sure it's top of the line. And like Marco mentioned, we just try and listen to the fans and if they want us to go in a certain direction, we try and go in that direction and just try and keep it small. Business owners, we always try and anticipate the client's needs and. And the fans are what fuels us. So if they wanted hats, we were getting hats. We had people that were asking for shirts and polos. So we went out and put in a lot of energy and effort, and it took some time, but we ended up getting it. And now it's been going really well and everything's been going great.

Yeah, for sure.

So kind of still on the same lines of the brand and everything. What have you guys learned? I mean, other than what you guys kind of talked about, about listening to, you know, the fans and. And what they want to see and everything. What have you guys learned along the two and a half years that you've been doing the channel about building a brand and everything that you didn't really know before?

I learned definitely about, like, branding and just having, like, a brand that's consistent and it's something that you can embroider and print easily and having that done in the initial design. So now we have, like, a brand package that if we want to go put our logo on something, I already have something I could just send off. So that just automatically makes life easier. We've learned that if you're going to get any kind of products made, get samples of whatever you're thinking about doing. I mean, it kind of goes without saying, but we work with people in China and I always get samples sent over to us, and a lot of times it's the first version isn't the version that we go with. So get those samples, really put in that effort up front to make sure that you're kind of working with the right people. And then other than that, just to understand the financial commitment that it's going to take. Yes, we've had hats that were sitting on the shelf for like eight or nine months. So that's like inventory. It's sitting there. So, like, just be ready for that. It's not going to always sell out right away, but if you're committed to it, you'll find a way. So, yeah, we're still learning as we go. I mean, we're fulfillment has also been really fun. My wife does all the fulfillment here from the house. You know, she goes in there and makes the packages, weighs them, slaps the labels on them, takes them to USPS every day, deals with the returns, especially now with shirts. So returns have been like up and coming big thing for us with people getting the sizing wrong and whatnot. So, yeah, we're just kind of figuring it out as we go. But the beauty of YouTube is that all the resources are out there for you to just do a Google, you know, figure out.

Yeah, exactly. So how long after the channel did you guys make this like something that you're doing full time and like what were you guys doing before that and you know, talk about that dynamic. Were you enjoying what you were doing full time before and like really kind of pursued this as something you could do full time to pursue your passion or kind of just. Just kind of talk about that whole transition.

Yeah. I own a limo company. I've owned it for about 13 years. I've coached high school golf for about 10. Marco's own a media company for I think about the last eight to 10 years. And we both love what we do as far as work, but we weren't passionate about it. And Marco and I have, we've been friends for a really long time. We have a passion with golf and I think just getting together and being around each other and just having fun playing golf and showcasing how much fun we're having. I think that was something that we were passionate about. We wanted to express that to the community and, and basically just try and help grow the game of golf and you know, by showing a great drone footage, some decent golf, sometimes some beautiful golf courses and yeah, just being out there with your friends, enjoying the day, just being grateful to be out on the golf course and just trying to stay positive and maybe give some course management tips from time to time through the course blogs to help people improve their thinking and their mentality out on the golf course and maybe drop a few shots or, you know, just like David Tomsing it and you know, just, you know, thinking outside the box. The stuff that I coached the kids up with and watching Marco Improve over the last two years has been pretty amazing. And watching it documented over the years is pretty impressive. Seeing how his swing has developed, how his process has improved and his just overall game, you know, has dropped from a six to a seven, down to a one. And yeah, it's pretty, pretty cool to watch that improvement.

Yeah, we're still working our full time, our old jobs, if you will. Okay. We're still very much, you know, doing two things at once, if you will. So. Okay, media company. And that's, you know, 40 hours a week right there. And then golf Pollux is wherever we can squeeze it in. So we do eventually want to turn this into a full time kind of thing that can pay the bills, but we're, we're still a ways out from that and we have some ideas on how we're gonna get there, but it's just making that transition is tough. It's just starting any business, you kind of have to like, wear a lot of hats and juggle a lot of things and then hopefully it works out.

Yeah, for sure.

So Mike kind of attested to them hitting a few good shots in their videos, but these guys are actually really good golfers shooting, shooting around even par most of the time. So they like to be humble. So talk about then. So I didn't know this about you guys. So you guys both own your own businesses already. So talk about how your previous experience as entrepreneurs helped you when you created Golfholics and started doing that.

Oh, it's been huge. Just being able to make good decisions right off the bat on the business. Doing things with the right intentions, I think are all big things. They're just like those little things that you add up that equate to something huge. So understanding that the branding needed to be redesigned early, like again, you know, if you have 60,000 people that are following this brand, this logo, and then you change it, you know, a lot of people get flustered. So doing that early on makes things easier. Understanding finances and how to manage, you know, budgets and all that stuff makes it easier hiring and people to help us out. We have Daniel, who's behind the screen editing another video right now. We brought him early on. But, you know, owning a business, you understand that you have to reinvest the resources. It's not like we're taking money out. So we did that going into it. So we reinvested. As soon as we were at a point where we can hire someone to help us take this to the next level, we reinvested and we're continuing to do that, you know, with all the merchandise sales and the money that we're making off of that is gonna go right back into the channel and help us get more help and really continue to, you know, to pour gas onto the flames. So, yeah, I think there's. There's a lot of. I mean, do you have any.

No. You know. You know, for my business, you know, customer service has always been an important part. You know, you get reviews on Google, on Yelp, TripAdvisor for my business and getting all the, you know, for me, I'm lucky enough to be ranked number one on Yelp and Google for limo service in San Diego. So I think just providing a really good service for your clients, anticipating their needs, what their wants are, and then trying to implement that into the game plan of starting a golf channel and improving from day one to where we're at now, all the little intricacies that we're fixing. And having Daniel aboard is a huge asset. He's able to add and improve our videos to the next level and. And just keep leveling up as much as possible and just trying to keep the, you know, the audience engaged and trying to keep them guessing, and hopefully they're, you know, loving what we're doing and we're gonna, you know, keep improving. And I think they know that. And the people that have been with us from day one to right now, I think they, you know, we've gotten a lot of comments saying how much we've improved, you know, with camera angles to zooms, to shot tracers.

Getting a gimbal.

Getting a gimbal, definitely.

You know, we've invested every single dollar that we've ever made on this channel back into the channel. We haven't taken anything out. We don't plan to anytime soon. And we're just gonna, like Marco said, we're gonna try and keep growing it as fast as possible and keep reinvesting.

And I think one other thing to add to that is when you've started a business or multiple businesses, you eventually formulate a mentality of like, you're just going to go 100% into it and really do it the best way you possibly can. And when I was younger, in my early 20s especially, and I was starting websites and trying to start businesses and figure things out, you know, I would kind of, like, go into it, but I was, like, half in. You know, I was like. I was like, ah, maybe I should work on this other thing. I never really committed to the projects and what I've learned over the last 15 years is once when you really commit to what you're doing. Like, things happen, and they happen way faster, but you have to stay committed, and you have to really just be all into it and, you know, so going back to your earlier question of, like, staying in our lane and doing our course logs, well, that's. That's an example of what I just said, is just being committed to our craft, to the one thing that we do well and being the best at that. And then eventually, if we want to go into another one, I'm going to go in there and I'm going to analyze how the other guys are doing it and think about how to make ours better and different, you know, so, like, approaching it with the mentality of, you know, I just want. You just want to be the best at it. So that's how you create something that. That works and that hopefully crushes.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

I think that's a really good piece of advice for people about what you just said there. I think that that's probably like, one of, like, if I. If I think back to this episode, I think that's the number one thing that'll probably stick out is diving all the way into. To whatever you do. And I think that's the biggest problem for me right now, even, especially coming up on graduation in May, is like, what do I do? Do I do this? Do I do that? And it's just about picking one thing and just fully committing to it. I know a lot of people need to hear that, and I definitely need to hear that. So thanks for sharing that. So talk about while you guys have been doing the channel, talk about some of your favorite experiences throughout the channel. What are some of your favorite courses that you guys have got to go out and play? And some of the people that you got to play with talk about that.

So many good ones.

Oh, we've got a lot, you know, from the first 40 trip up at Pebble, Spyglass, Pasa, Tiempo, Olympic. I think that was one of our first. You know, I think it was like our fifth or sixth month into the channel. We just went up there and just had a great time. We went to Maui, played Grand Wailea, Kapalua. Then we did Atlanta. We did Atlanta Athletic Club, East Lake, and a few other great golf courses. Then we went out to Florida. We did Bay Hill. You know, Lake was coming up next. But, yeah, we had a lot of great ones.

Yeah, like, I think playing with, like, the core, with all the awesome people we played pit with, you know, Paige was was a blast. Like, she was. You don't really know what you're gonna get, right? You see this beautiful girl on Instagram and whatnot, and, you know, you don't know how the personality is gonna be. But she was such a sweetheart. Her and Chelsea both, they were just awesome. Really easy to get along with. Like, the banter was good. And it's always fun. Just when people impress you, you know, when you meet them and you're not like, oh, yeah, they have, like, they're like this on Instagram, but real life.

Exactly.

But my favorite group to play with is, like, the core group. It's me, Mike, Justin, and Pesky. And I think all those trips. I think back to all the trips that we've taken together and all the courses we played, and those are the guys that I always think back. I'm like, man, I love watching the videos a year, two years later, and just, like, reliving moments with those guys just because, you know, for so long. But, yeah, it's too many to count. A lot of good memories, I bet.

For sure.

Yeah.

Way to sink that 20 footer to beat Paige.

That was awesome.

I remember watching that. I was like, no way. And then speaking of Bay Hill, I don't know if when you guys went out there and played, the guy that I'm actually going out to Bay Hill with tomorrow, Sam, he. He rode along with you guys during that round, if you guys remember him. So, yeah, that's who I'm going out with tomorrow.

Yeah.

So I actually met him. I met him a couple weeks ago up in Atlanta. We were both interviewing for an internship with the ajga, so. So, yeah, so that it was funny.

Because.

I've never played it.

No, you're gonna love it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I hope to play it someday. It'll be great. Yeah, it'd be a blast. Have so many courses to check off the bucket list. So definitely, for sure. I just kind of live vicariously through you guys right now until I can afford to go play.

You're also welcome to join us at any time if we're in the hood or you're in our neighborhood.

For sure.

Awesome. That'd be fantastic. That'd be such a blast. So just a couple more questions for you guys just to kind of wrap up everything that we've talked about about building a brand, building a business, whether you're doing it for the first or second or third or however many times, just give a few pieces of tangible advice that you would give to people who are starting their first business. Right now, or trying to. And trying to get that off the ground. What are some of the biggest tips that you could offer those people?

I think surrounding yourself with good people in business, as in life, is probably one of the best tips that I've gotten and that I think still holds true. Just being around solid people like Mike and I have always played golf together. We didn't go into it, let's start a business. But 10 years later, here we are working. But we know we could work together because we get along, we know each other's quirks, and it works. But, yeah, so I think just being around good people, getting around the type of people that you eventually want to be like, I think if you have entrepreneurs that you look up to, just trying to find a way into those circles however you can, which goes to my second point, which is to put yourself in uncomfortable situations in the positive way. Right. You kind of have to just take that leap of faith sometimes and go talk to someone, even though you might not necessarily know them. But, you know, that's one of those uncomfortable situations that if you never take that leap or you never try to open that door, it's not going to open itself. So you have to just be willing to kind of do some of those things, especially early on as you're starting out, as you're building your network, you have to be willing to do those things and take those chances. And a lot of times, they're a lot less scary than they seem. They seem like they are in the beginning. And then, like I said earlier, just committing to whatever you're doing and going into it with the mentality of, like, I want to be the best at this. Not just kind of like, oh, I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to throw it up there, and we'll see where it goes and just kind of like, be okay with, you know, whatever, having the mentality of, like, how do I improve? And how do. Even after you reach some level of success, you want to keep pushing yourself to keep improving whatever you're doing, whether it's creating a product or service or, you know, even our videos, like, we're constantly. I'm constantly looking at other people's videos to see what, you know, looks like they're doing right. Or something new and unique that maybe we can incorporate into ours. And not just golf videos. You know, I watch Peter McKinnon, Casey Neistat. I watch a lot of other guys that I think have built a big following. So. Yeah. And then just follow your heart you know, other than that, try to match your passion to and create something out of it that, you know, can pay the bills, which I think is probably one of the hardest things to do in life is to match those two. So be patient in the process. Understand that you kind of just have to work your way up through things, but go get those jobs that are going to just provide skills and get you in a position to where one day you can take all those skills that you've accumulated and put them towards the project that you're most passionate about.

Gotcha.

Anything to add with that, Mike?

No, I second that. You know, being around successful people, I think helps you become successful. And Marco is one of the most successful people as a small business owner that I've ever come across. And I've got a lot of friends that are nine to fivers and are successful in their businesses, but they work for somebody. And, you know, Marco is, you know, no offense, but he's an immigrant who came here not learning English, you know, right off the bat, had to learn, got picked on in high school, and, you know, kind of fought his way through that adversity. And then now you can see his drive and passion in everything he does, from his business to the golf holics. I mean, honestly, this wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for this guy right here. And he's mastermind behind everything. You know, I'm just a golf guy. He calls me the talent, you know, just jokingly, but, you know, I think being able to be around a guy like Marco, having the passion that he has for the game of golf as myself, and then turning it into a YouTube channel that is successful, I kind of wasn't sure if it was going.

To be something that was going to.

Be successful to begin with. We didn't know how it was going to be perceived. But Marco is very persistent. He's resilient. He's always all in on anything he does. The name of my company is all in limo. So I think the between his mentality and mine went a long way. And we found something that we are both passionate about. And the game of golf is something that we both are, and we want to help grow the game. We want to encourage the younger generation to get out there and play. We want to show how fun it can be, how practicing can be enjoyable. Not a dreadful thing, and not taking the game too serious. Just going out there having fun, whether it's competitive or if it's just out with your friends. Just go out there, have a good Time, you know, enjoy the fact that you're out playing golf instead of working in an office or, you know, working a tough job and just, you know, enjoying the moment and being grateful and being present in that moment.

Yeah, for sure.

Definitely sounds like a recipe for success. So for you two, how did you two originally meet?

I found them online.

Really?

Yeah. I was, you know, when I started my limo company 13 years ago, I went through a bunch of different SEO companies that took advantage of me, took my money, didn't do the work, put me behind. I lost my website, had to rebuild another one. And then I just did a bunch of research, and I found him. I reached out to him. I liked, you know, what he said. He was straightforward. He's to the point, didn't kind of BS me, which I appreciated. You know, I hired him, and then after that, the rest is kind of history. We became friends. We found out we both had interest in the same, you know, game of golf. He was dating a girl at that time in my neighborhood. So we, you know, we just had a lot of connections, and then we just. We got together a few times playing golf, and we just. We enjoyed it. We, you know, we were talking smack to each other right off the bat. We hit it off. And I think, you know, it's very rare to find friends like that. And my circle's kind of small, and I didn't have a lot of new friends, per se. I had a lot of old friends. I've had friends for 20.

I broke in the circle.

30 years that we still see each other and get together. And then Marco is one of my newest friends, and he's my closest friend. And being able to have that same, I guess, passion towards the game of golf, I think, really resonated with both of us, and we were able to get out together. And he had a tough work schedule. I had a tough work schedule. So when we ever got a chance to play, we just really enjoyed it and just had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, and, you know, we made fun of each other constantly, and it was just. It was, you know, good time together.

Yeah, for sure.

All those closest two bets. All right, so one last question for you guys. Basically, it's a question that I ask everybody on the podcast. The last question I'll ask everybody. And basically, it's just a hypothetical scenario where it's your last day on earth, and, you know, it's your last day. And for some reason, at the end of your last day, when you pass away, everything you've ever created, all the videos you guys have created, your companies, everything you guys have achieved, everything, like, everything that you've ever wanted to do. Golfholics has grown into the biggest YouTube channel ever. And whatever you guys wanted to accomplish, you guys accomplish. But for some reason, at the end of your last day, everything that you've ever created is completely erased, and nobody has anything to remember you by, except for the three things that you write down on the piece of paper next to you. And this is called the three truths. So what are your guys, three truths?

That was a deep question.

Just thinking about it, I think the biggest thing for me is that they saw that I'd like to give back as much as I possibly have. And I was fortunate enough to have some really great coaches in my life. I've had really great parents. I lost my dad about 13 years ago, so he was a huge impact in my life that I wanted to kind of set an example that he set for me and pass that along to the next generation and in my community, try and make a small impact and have a positive role in influencing the younger generation in life. And hopefully people say one day that, you know, I helped influence them into, you know, a positive feedback in life and, you know, possibly in golf.

Yeah, my minor is very similar. I mean, I would just want to be remembered as being a good human being, especially for my son, and we have another on the way. So, you know, for my future, for my children to see me as a person that, you know, did the right things and did right by people and, you know, work through adversity and make their life happen the way they wanted to instead of just kind of cruising through it and just forming good, good friendships and just being there for people. You know, we've always prided ourselves on responding to comments and Instagram messages and all these things, because we generally genuinely enjoy connecting with people. That's really the whole premise of our Golfaholics Invitational tournament, too, is, like, bring people together and actually, like, do what we set out to do, not just make videos and try to get free swag, you know, like, not what we're about.

Yeah.

And, yeah, I mean, that's. That's pretty much it. And just. Just be good people, do good things and make shit happen, and you got a great rest for a good life, I think.

For sure.

Really, really appreciate it. It was a great time. Great interview. Thank you guys so much once again. And guys, we'll see you on the next episode.

What an interview. I hit these guys up originally just because I wanted to learn about their story and how they became so successful since I watched them a lot on YouTube. But after, after the interview, they definitely exceeded my expectations. I was so blown away with all the advice and the stories that they shared about starting Golfholics and how they've been successful in their previous businesses that they still run to this day. And the fact that they reinvest all the money from the channel that they make back into it. That's true dedication right there and going all in, just like Marco said.
