I cold called my way into entrepreneurship in my late 20’s and have never looked back.

It was at the dawn of the internet but not the internet we know and love/hate today.

My kids have grown up with the internet and so many more choices and opportunities than I had. That’s not their fault. It’s a blessing and a curse.

Max struggled in school and Rachel got shit done. Rachel graduated at University of Arizona and was off to New York to work at a start up and Max dropped out of school and worked.

Last year he figured out that the PGA had a collaboration program with UNLV and got himself in the program.

He had a great semester at the UNLV PGA Hospitality program. He is doing what he loves and loves what he is doing. He is already set up with an internship at the TPC courses in Toronto for the summer.

When Max was about four years old in Phoenix I would take him to the par 3 course and he loved it. He was also extremely coordinated and could hit the ball well.

Maybe I should have pushed golf, but we were not members of any course and Max wanted to play every sport and hang with friends. Max had fun as long as he was with friends and playing any game or sport.

When we moved to Coronado and joined San Diego Country Club, Max was able to play every day both at the club and the Coronado public course.

Today he breaks par regularly and loves everything about the game including the technology, the tournaments, the fashion, the competition, the people and even the rules.

Yesterday he played a round at TPC Scottsdale with my old friend Mike Loustalot who had an extra spot. I could not play so I offered up my son. Max would never pass up a round, especially at TPC a month before the Phoenix Open. Mike was a founder of GolfNow.com which was one of my first internet investments back in 2006. Golfnow.com was acquired by Comcast in 2008 and now controls about 95 percent of the tee times in North America. I don’t think selling was such a great idea in hindsight.

Mike has stayed in the industry and Max came home all excited that he played well and met someone who was in the industry and knew as much as Mike.

We all should be so lucky as to do what we love and love what we are doing.

PS – Here is Mike with his two kids Reed and Colleen and Max
