In this episode of The Connected Instructor, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Brixton Albert, the founder of Performance Golf and one of the most driven people I know. Watching him turn his passion for golf into a $100 million company has been nothing short of inspiring. We dive deep into his journey—from Division I college golf to late nights building a brand from scratch, and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

Brixton’s story is about more than just business. It’s about discipline, mindset, and the power of knowing your “why.” We also explore the parallels between golf and entrepreneurship, and how working on the right things in the right order can completely change your game—on and off the course.

Here’s what we cover:

• How Brixton built Performance Golf while still working full-time

• His “lead domino” philosophy for solving problems

• Taking big risks early on—and why they paid off

• The moment he realized life is short and it’s time to go all in

• How he uses past failures as fuel for growth

• The habits and mindset that make elite athletes and entrepreneurs successful

• Lessons from Tiger Woods, Ray Allen, and what they taught us about showing up
