Marketing your book doesn't have to feel like a second full-time job—or a mysterious game only the loudest voices win. Some of the most successful authors aren't chasing trends or algorithms. They're building momentum by staying true to their roots and the original purpose behind the book. The truth is: marketing isn't about selling—it's about inviting. Inviting readers into a conversation and into the value your book unlocks. Whether you're marketing your first book or refreshing the launch of a well-loved one, it's not about reaching everyone—it's about reaching the right people. That's the approach I take as a book launch strategist. I help authors create marketing plans that feel authentic and effective, leveraging systems like launch teams, content strategy, and virtual events to build lasting connections and measurable results.

(00:02) Beauty of Golf Courses and Handicapping This chapter kicks off with a conversation about the beautiful September weather in Flagstaff and the scenic views golf courses offer, emphasizing the often-overlooked beauty of the sport's locations. We touch on the stunning golf courses across the United States and the Caribbean, including a nod to Lake Tahoe's splendor. Shifting gears, we discuss the challenges of betting on the Ryder Cup, highlighting the unpredictability of golf, especially in emotionally charged international competitions. Comparisons are made to betting on intense sports rivalries like Indiana vs. Purdue basketball or iconic football matchups such as the Iron Bowl, where unexpected outcomes make handicapping difficult. Despite the complexities, we note that NFL football tends to be more predictable.

(17:00) Defining Pitch and Chip Shots This chapter focuses on the complexities of golf terminology and how language can often lead to confusion, particularly when it comes to understanding the difference between pitching and chipping. We explore the nuances of these terms, emphasizing that a pitch is when the ball spends more time in the air than on the ground, typically requiring a higher lofted club like a sand or lob wedge. Conversely, a chip is characterized by a shorter flight and longer roll, often executed with a club like a nine iron. We also discuss how different clubs and motions can produce varied results, highlighting the importance of clear definitions in golf to prevent misunderstandings. Additionally, we touch on the common misconceptions about ball positioning during short shots and the flexibility in using various clubs for similar types of shots, illustrating how personal interpretation of terms like "chip" can impact a player's approach.

(26:15) Clearing Up Golf Language Confusion This chapter explores the nuances and confusion surrounding golf terminology, particularly focusing on the terms "chip" and "pitch." We break down the definitions of these terms based on the shot and the movement, emphasizing that a pitch typically involves a ball that flies farther in the air than it rolls, while a chip has more ground time than air time. We also discuss how these terms can be misleading when players use different clubs, and how jargon often complicates communication for beginners. By comparing golf jargon to a foreign language, we highlight the importance of clear communication in coaching. Our philosophy emphasizes using straightforward language to enhance understanding and improve performance, advocating for a teaching approach that eliminates confusion and makes golf accessible to everyone.

(38:16) Stabilizing Your Short Game Shots This chapter takes a close look at the intricacies of mastering short game shots in golf. We explore the importance of controlling the club and landing the ball accurately by maintaining a stable stance. Understanding how the length of the club and proper positioning can impact your game is emphasized, alongside the significance of achieving stability over focusing solely on swing techniques. We address common misconceptions, like always leaning towards the target, and stress that the primary goal should be getting the club under the ball effectively. The conversation highlights the importance of practicing basic stances rather than just complex shots, and how understanding what you're trying to achieve is crucial before focusing on how to achieve it. With humor and insight, we underscore the need for golfers to concentrate on the fundamentals for improved performance on the course.

We also explore the intricacies of golf, emphasizing the importance of mastering both high and low shots around the greens. By understanding the variations in chip and pitch shots, and how to effectively use different clubs for different situations, golfers can enhance their game. Whether it's executing a high, soft pitch over a bunker or opting for a low, rolling shot, flexibility and adaptability in shot selection are key. By having a range of shots and being able to choose the right one based on the course and conditions, players can improve their performance and confidence on the green.

Is it moral to pray for RFK JR. to die from a disease after refusing to get the vaccine that could have saved him?  You have questions, I have answers.  If sex for fun is a sin what will Heaven look like?  I have an audio answer.  If the internet told you you can fix your own lawn mower and you lost two fingers and a toe can you sue?  If you give someone the finger in traffic before they can even beep at you have you cloaked yourself in a shield of invulnerability which precludes your being guilty of anything?  Has Donald trump ruined golf?  I describe the worst ever behavior I have seen on a golf course and a listener wonders why he was called a Libtard by a group playing ahead of him.  And I once again extend the musical hand of friendship across our political and cultural divide with my new modern country song "Oh, Brother Why?"  It could be a hit or at least work in a truck commercial.  Could I have a new career as a country artist?  You decide.  Subscribe and THRIVE!!!!!!!!!

If you're an advisor who loves golf, here's the truth: the game teaches more about winning clients and building lasting trust than most people ever realize.That's exactly what I dive into with today's guest, Marisa Messana. She went from leading Clemson's women's golf team to the national championship, to competing as a professional golfer, to now coaching Fortune 100 companies, investment firms, and business owners.Through her work, Marisa helps in two ways:First, through her High Performance Training, where she equips people to perform like “corporate athletes.” This is the work that helps advisors shift from solopreneur to CEO, lead with more clarity, and create the space they need to actually grow.Second, with her Golf Experiences, she shows how to turn a round of golf into a trust-building, referral-generating opportunity. She blends fun on the course with growth-focused conversations off the course, creating the kind of experiences clients never forget.In this episode, Marisa shares how golf becomes more than a pastime, it's one of the best ways for advisors to build trust, win clients, and grow their business.4 of the biggest insights from Marisa Messana…1.) Winning On Paper, Falling Apart InsideAt Clemson, Marisa hit the pinnacle of success—leading her team to nationals and winning the Elite 90 Award. But behind the accolades, she was overwhelmed, burned out, and holding back tears. Her story exposes the danger of chasing external success without the systems and self-awareness to sustain it.2.) Self-Awareness Is What Separates Amateurs From ProsIn golf, pros track every stat after a round to find patterns and improve. Marisa realized she wasn't doing the same for her life. That's when she built her “mental gym,” a process of auditing habits, energy, and emotions. By tracking patterns and adjusting, she turned awareness into action—and that's what creates real, repeatable growth.3.) New Game, New Rules: Solopreneur to CEOMost advisors start as solopreneurs, where success depends on sheer hustle. But scaling a firm requires a different identity: leader, coach, CEO. Marisa shares how this shift mirrors her journey from athlete to business builder—and why so many advisors get stuck when they keep playing the old game by the old rules.4.) How to Host Golf Events That Drive ReferralsGolf is more than just a pastime for advisors—it's a powerful business tool. Marisa breaks down how to design unforgettable golf experiences that combine fun on the course with meaningful, growth-oriented discussions. By pairing the “golf component” (18 holes, a clinic, or even a simple range session) with a “growth component” (roundtable conversations, workshops, or keynotes), advisors can break down barriers, connect as equals, and build deep trust with prospects & clients.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/134FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWMarisa is offering a FREE 1:1 coaching call to the first 3 listeners who reach out with a specific business challenge they want to solve.Text “134” to 785-800-3235 and we'll share the details with the qualifiers.

Turning dirt to development is hard enough, but try converting a golf course into a new subdivision and the whole world loses their mind. Against all odds, the impossible became possible over a 3 year slog. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way.

In this episode of Turf Today, we're joined by a Decorated Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces who has turned his experience on the battlefield into lessons for everyday life. Sean Bacon, now a mental toughness coach, provides workshops and seminars on resilience, leadership, and teamwork.

This Day in Legal History: Certiorari Granted in WindsorOn September 11, 2012, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a petition for certiorari in United States v. Windsor, setting the stage for one of the most consequential civil rights decisions of the decade. The case challenged Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defined marriage for federal purposes as between one man and one woman. Edith Windsor, the plaintiff, had been legally married to her same-sex partner, Thea Spyer, in Canada. When Spyer died, Windsor was denied the federal estate tax exemption for surviving spouses, resulting in a tax bill exceeding $350,000.Windsor argued that DOMA violated the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection as applied to the federal government. The Obama administration, though initially defending DOMA, reversed course and declined to continue doing so, prompting the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) of the House of Representatives to intervene. The DOJ's September 11 petition reflected the administration's desire to have the Supreme Court resolve the constitutional question as quickly as possible.In 2013, the Supreme Court ruled 5–4 in favor of Windsor, striking down Section 3 of DOMA as unconstitutional. Justice Kennedy, writing for the majority, held that the federal government could not single out same-sex marriages for unequal treatment under the law. The ruling granted same-sex couples access to hundreds of federal benefits and marked a turning point in the legal recognition of LGBTQ+ rights.The Windsor decision laid the constitutional groundwork for Obergefell v. Hodges two years later, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The filing on September 11, 2012, was a procedural but critical moment that pushed the case toward the highest court in the land. It also signaled a shift in the federal government's posture toward LGBTQ+ equality—moving from defense of discriminatory laws to active legal opposition.The trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate then former President Donald Trump, begins this week in Fort Pierce, Florida. Routh, 59, is facing five federal charges, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, and has chosen to represent himself. Prosecutors allege that Routh hid with a rifle near the sixth hole of Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach last September, intending to kill Trump. He fled after a Secret Service agent spotted him before any shots were fired and was arrested the same day.The trial opens amid rising concerns about political violence in the U.S., underscored by the recent killing of Trump ally Charlie Kirk in Utah. Trump himself has been targeted multiple times, including a shooting in Pennsylvania in July 2024 that left him wounded. Routh, a former roofing contractor with a history of erratic behavior, had expressed political views supporting Taiwan and Ukraine and previously outlined a bizarre plan involving Afghan refugees.The case is being heard by Judge Aileen Cannon, the same judge who previously dismissed a separate criminal case against Trump involving classified documents. Cannon has already expressed frustration with Routh during jury selection, rejecting several of his proposed questions as irrelevant. The jury consists of seven women and five men. The trial is expected to spotlight the ongoing increase in politically motivated violence in the U.S.,Trial begins for man accused of trying to assassinate Trump, spotlighting US political violence | ReutersFive former federal employees have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC), alleging the agency unlawfully dismissed their complaints after being fired early in President Trump's second term. Represented by Democracy Forward, the plaintiffs claim OSC failed to investigate over 2,000 complaints from probationary employees terminated en masse in February 2025, despite earlier findings that the firings may have violated federal law. The lawsuit, filed in D.C. federal court, seeks a ruling that OSC's blanket dismissal of the complaints was arbitrary and violated the Administrative Procedure Act.Probationary federal employees—often in their first year or newly assigned roles—have fewer job protections, making them vulnerable to politically motivated purges. In this case, the Trump administration dismissed roughly 25,000 such employees, sparking multiple legal challenges. Some courts briefly reinstated the workers, but appeals courts ruled that plaintiffs lacked standing or needed to exhaust administrative remedies before going to court.OSC, under former Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, had suggested the mass terminations were unlawful. However, after Trump fired Dellinger, his replacement, Jamieson Greer, dismissed all the pending complaints, citing alignment with new administrative priorities. The plaintiffs argue this abrupt shift was politically driven and undermined OSC's duty to safeguard merit-based civil service protections.The lawsuit aims to compel OSC to reopen investigations into the firings and reassert that probationary employees still retain legal protections from unlawful dismissals.US Special Counsel sued for dismissing fired federal workers' complaints | ReutersThe Trump administration has appealed a federal judge's decision blocking the removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, aiming to fire her before the central bank's next interest rate meeting on September 16. U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb ruled that President Trump's claim—alleging Cook committed mortgage fraud before taking office—likely does not meet the legal threshold to justify her dismissal. The administration's brief appeal to the D.C. Circuit did not include arguments, but signaled urgency given the upcoming monetary policy meeting.Cook, who has denied any wrongdoing, filed suit in August claiming that the fraud allegations were a pretext for removing her due to her policy positions. She argues that the law governing the Federal Reserve allows a governor to be removed only “for cause,” a term not clearly defined in the statute and never previously tested in court. Cobb agreed that the case raises new and important legal questions, emphasizing the public interest in shielding the Fed from political pressure.The DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into the alleged mortgage fraud, with grand jury subpoenas issued in Georgia and Michigan. The case could have broader implications for the independence of federal agencies, especially those like the Fed that have traditionally operated free from executive interference. This follows other high-profile cases in which courts have temporarily blocked Trump from firing leaders of independent agencies, including the U.S. Copyright Office.Trump has pressured the Fed to lower interest rates and criticized Chair Jerome Powell, though Cook has consistently voted with the Fed majority on rate decisions. Her continued presence at the Fed could influence upcoming policy moves.Trump administration appeals ruling blocking removal of Fed Governor Cook | ReutersA federal appeals court has upheld most provisions of a New Jersey law restricting firearms in designated “sensitive places,” such as parks, hospitals, beaches, libraries, and casinos. The 2-1 decision by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that found the law violated the Second Amendment. The appeals court concluded the restrictions aligned with historical firearm regulations in places traditionally considered sensitive due to their civic or public safety function.The ruling is a setback for gun rights advocates, following similar decisions by appeals courts in California, Hawaii, and New York. These rulings come in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, which established a new framework for evaluating gun laws—requiring that modern regulations be consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm control. While Bruen expanded gun rights, it also acknowledged the legitimacy of restrictions in sensitive locations.Judge Cheryl Ann Krause, writing for the majority, emphasized that U.S. history supports limiting firearms in specific public areas to preserve peace and safety. Judge Cindy Chung concurred, while Judge David Porter dissented, arguing the government shouldn't be able to arbitrarily declare places “sensitive” to limit gun rights.The New Jersey Attorney General praised the decision, while gun rights groups criticized it as an overly deferential interpretation of the Second Amendment.US appeals court largely upholds New Jersey gun restrictions | Reuters This is a public episode.
