Ep. 79 Kyle Porter / Normal Sport

Have any of you looked well into the future and when you saw the picture of what your life might look like, you didn't like what you saw? Ahead on today's episode, we get to spend time with someone who felt that way and immediately began to plot a new course, one rooted in the inspiration he felt from a gift he received as a child. He has been using his words to take us all on a ride ever since. Today we are spending time with golf journalist and founder of his own newsletter, Normal Sport. He is the very witty and well spoken Kyle Porter. Ahead in this conversation with Kyle, we will discuss: The meaning of the word normalcy, and how Kyle began to see just how un normal the sport of golf is, leading to his unique perspective and writing style.   There is a danger is making your work or chasing success your idol. Kyle will unpack for us why he sees his writing as what he does, but not who he is. When it comes to work, is there a way we can bring meaning to the lives of those around us through it? Kyle shares with us his personal mission statement and how he using his work to help him accomplish it. Life is fragile. We hear people say this all the time, but very few of us ever experience how true it really is. Kyle will share with us about the days following a painful loss and the statement someone made which cemented his own view of the world. Kyle is one of the best and most insightful writers on the Ryder Cup I know. I decided to play the role of genie and I gave Kyle 3 wishes for the future of our favorite event. Spoiler alert, I sincerely hope all his wishes come true in the days ahead. There is a great big world out there. Sometimes we just want to fly high up in the sky, look down and see it all. But first, we have to learn to fly.
