Hello, world.

Welcome to Discover Your Talent, Do What You Love, Number 372.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day I interview someone from around the world who has discovered his

talents to do work he loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

Paul set out for Chicago and the American Dream in 2007, bolstered by his degree in finance from

the University of Michigan, stuck in a cube farm watching his co-workers being laid off as the

worst recession and decades rolled in. He knew he had to change his vision of the right career for him

and now. Today, I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Paul Maskell. Welcome, Paul.

Thank you, Don. Super excited to be here. Thank you, sir. Are you using your

talents doing work that you love? Absolutely. I've always excelled in business, finance, math,

numbers, all that good stuff, and always enjoyed the challenges. So now I'm able to combine all

of those with working with TGA. Oh, that's just perfect. Well, we want to hear the whole story.

Sitting in a cubicle for 12 hours a day while building someone else's business was not Paul's idea of living the dream. So he quit. In 2011, he invested in his first TGA franchise combining his business experience with passion for sports. TGA brings golf and tennis to students through after-school programs,

summer camps, and family events. Paul grew his business to four franchises impacting thousands of

kids with $420,000 in annual revenue. In 2015, Paul sold his franchises for six times the initial

investment and three times the profit.

Paul was then hired by TGA and is in charge of business development.

Well, congratulations on those successes, Paul.

Thanks, Don.

Yes, just a wonderful story.

And tell our listeners around the world now what you're up to now with TGA and what you're doing that has you engaged and excited?
