MTT - "The Power in the Pivot"
Sunday Jul 13, 2025
Sunday Jul 13, 2025
New Episode:
Talking about the Comeback. What is the meaning of "Making the Turn"? and how there is a lot of power in the pivot from rock bottom or a dark place or life's messes to rebound in a positive direction.
Settle in. This is a good one. From Tiger Woods, to J.K. Rowling to Fred Smith (FedEx), to my own struggles, I go deep in how to pull yourself up and bounce back.
Enjoy and thanks for Listening.

Monday Jul 07, 2025
Well it's been a little bit since I last dropped an episode and I feel very bad about that. I have no excuses and I am going to work on that.
I go in to it all in greater detail in this episode called "The Rebirth" because that's just what it is. I have no idea what direction the podcast will go in but I want to bring it back just like starting over. Thanks for sticking with me and for all the love from back in the day.
This episode is me rambling on but I have always said, If I can help just one person then I have done what I'm supposed to do.
So, thanks for listening. Enjoy the Words of wisdom and the ramblings of your host BJ Parker... I'm Back baby!!!

Had the pleasure of sitting down with David Elliott and talk about his career and his path to being a part of the setup for the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club.
It's always great to meet new people and to have a conversation with them and get into a lot of things. We talk about many good topics and get into many of the highs and lows of our business.
It was a great conversation and one that I'm sure you will enjoy.
Thanks for listening and enjoy the podcast.
