Harry Arnett is a bright businessman who draws you in with his values and vulnerability. He helped build two of the biggest brands in golf by working for TaylorMade and most recently Callaway. An agent for change, Arnett opens up about many of the recent challenges we have all faced and how he continues to try and conquer them in his current role.

He's a very positive person who believes in perseverance to succeed. A self admitted outsider who maintains a very macro view. Part of Harry's unique approach is what led him into his current role. As the CEO of MUNICIPAL, he's developing a community through comfort and design; pretty cool.

Sounds interesting? It's a modern story built around a very intelligent leader. Together in this interview, Harry and Keith discuss:

• Gaining momentum for a new business
• Building a team with diversity
• Self-belief in challenging times
• Innovating in a traditional marketplace

Keith and Wade celebrate a show milestone together. They discuss the return of the Tiger, and his big announcement this week. The whole world can't believe he's back, but the ProShow can! In fact, we said it last week. The PGA Tour is about to make a major upgrade to their PGA Tour Live programming with ESPN+ and Read The Line continues with massive momentum.

The middle of the show covers a unique year in review conversation. Wade asks Keith his Top 10 questions from 2021. Together they creatively cover the best stories in golf. What is #1? Well, Tiger was #3 if that gives you an idea of what an interesting campaign 2021 was. Tune in and reminisce.

The golf industry is blessed with some wonderful storytellers. None may be more passionate about their interviews and tales than Chris Mascaro. A lifelong sports fanatic, he turned his inspiration into an institution. Whether it's "The Next on the Tee" or "Thursday Night Tailgate" shows, Chris entertains and educates. 

Each conversation with his guest is an open book. With amazing research he gets everyone to share their story. He started before podcasts were a thing and now he's texting with former Ryder Cup Captains. The best part, he has an infectious level of gratitude for every moment. Little did Chris know before we started, that he gives as great of an interview as he gets.
