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

What happens when golf meets Kundalini energy and spiritual awakening? In this radically honest and vibrantly layered conversation, I dive deep with Megan Michelle—an unconventional thinker reshaping how we relate to golf, ourselves, and the cosmos. Megan shares how a spontaneous decision to buy a school bus on New Year’s Eve triggered a profound spiritual awakening and led her to view golf as a multidimensional portal of personal evolution.

From navigating the divine feminine on the fairway to turning every shot into a mirror for the soul, Megan breaks down how the game of golf is a spiritual playground—if you’re willing to surrender. She reflects on golf as both a sport and a ceremonial practice, revealing how emotional energy, moon cycles, and sexual aliveness all impact performance on the course.

Takeaways:

• Golf is not linear—it's energetic, cyclical, and deeply connected to nature.

• How Kundalini energy and personal spiritual work transformed Megan’s golf experience.

• The role of emotional balance and sacred play in peak golf performance.

• Creative surrender, the divine feminine, and embracing your “competitive kink.”

• Why the moon might be your best coach.
