| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life, the Podcast for Entrepreneurs, where it's all about growing |
| 0:07.7 | yourself and your business. |
| 0:09.7 | Here's your host, founder of America's largest business coaching company, Brian the Feeney. |
| 0:17.0 | Well, the top of the morning to you and welcome to today's episode entitled, |
| 0:22.0 | What I Learned from the Masters. |
| 0:24.3 | Obviously by the title of this episode, it's easy to deduce where I was the second week of |
| 0:29.6 | April this year. |
| 0:31.1 | You know, I first went to the masters with my bride Beverly in 1996 and we got to see the great |
| 0:36.2 | Ben Krenshaw win the tournament. I went back again in 2001 with my dad who we we effectually call Tiger's Granddaddy because of his fanatical |
| 0:46.5 | allegiance to Tiger Woods. |
| 0:48.8 | And he got to see his favorite player win that year, which was cool. |

| 1:15.2 | who just got married this summer. His at the time future father-in-law, his name is J.O. |
| 1:20.7 | And a great listener to the podcast. And he is J.O. and a great listener to the podcast and he is all things golf. He's a |
| 1:25.7 | really really good player. He's really into the sport. He knows all about who's |
| 1:31.2 | playing and where. His phone when his ring tone is the master's music, he has |
| 1:37.4 | masters of stuff all over his house and lo and behold in a series of conversations I find out he's never been. |
| 1:44.4 | So I think this will be a great trip for myself, Alex's future father-in-law and his future brother-in-law. |
| 1:50.7 | Let's all head out to Augusta, play some golf golf and then go and attend the Masters for a couple of days. |
