Dive into the creation of SwingJuice. SwingJuice initially came to market as a beverage company offering a unique energy drink specifically crafted for the golf enthusiast. In 2014, founder Jon Mason transitioned the SwingJuice brand away from beverages and into a golf-inspired apparel brand. The company was developed around the philosophy that it was time to break the mold – to squash the stereotype that golfers are hyper-conservative and stuffy. SwingJuice apparel allows you to display your passion for golf in a more fun, unique and approachable way. Jon Mason Scott Alphin Andrew Argandona

On this week's episode, we sit down with Jon Mason, founder of Swing Juice: a golf apparel company and lifestyle brand. We discuss the origins of Swing Juice as a sports drink company, the pivot they made in the 2010s to become a clothing brand, and what are some of his favorite things about golf in New England and Rhode Island in particular. We also discuss some Big East basketball, how we can improve accessibility to golf in New England, and discuss a little Tour of Rhode Island for some of the best courses in the state.

We made it to Episode 45 of the Behind the Golf Brand Podcast.  In this week's episode, I interview my good friend Jon Mason the founder of Swing Juice.In an era of divisiveness and polarity, SwingJuice has remained rooted in its values and ideals.  Community, inclusivity, creativity, and a come-as-you-are mentality continue to be the corner posts of who this brand is and what they’re about.  That’s why you, as you are, are welcome with open arms to the Swing Juice community.If you haven’t checked out the Swing Juice brand, you should.  Not only will you be able to find a like-minded community of golf enthusiasts, chances are you’ll find yourself becoming part of a special family before you know it.Support the show (https://legiongolf.co/)

A professional storyteller since 2015, Jon is fascinated by the connections between folklore, history, landscape and identity - which he is pursuing through his PhD at the University of Brighton. In this podcast, he discusses "eco-storytelling" (the use of myth and folktale to promote environmental awareness) and illustrates how its reach can be broadened through lessons from oral history theory and subculture studies. If we are storytelling beings, what stories do we make to address urban life? How can these be brought to bear to enrich our understanding of place and its connections to ourselves?

PREVIOUSLY ON URBAN FANTASY: Rachel Lin Smith was just a shy teenage girl until she was turned into a vampire against her will by an evil serial killing monster. Escaping from his perverted clutches, she was able to put a stop to his reign of terror with the help of her geeky friends, who have been working hard to re-acclimate her to her quiet suburban life. Her friends include the most popular girl in school Tanya Daytton (Daughter of the mayor and real name Shawna Dixon) and her childhood best friend, the pudgy and geeky Ian Fletcher. The only thing her two best friends have in common is their love for her. Her other friends include the smart-mouthed loser geek Andrew Grezzy, the cowardly and fussy Bilal Valenca, the gentle giant genius Charlie Gordon, the military obsessed Jason Stride, the sports fan with his brothers car Mike Jones, and Tanya’s best friend Alice. Last year they saved their city not just from a mass murdering vampire, but also an apocalyptic bee swarm brought about by the machinations of a time traveler from the past, Tanya’s own father, trying to jump further into the future. They were able to stop him before he could finish his jump, stranding him in their time period. While they settled back into their old lives, however, Erika Sannik and Jon Mason were settling into new lives, having escaped across the border from a government lab in the United States. A lab where they were subjected to experiments that gave them amazing powers. Experiments involving Synesthesia. It didn’t take long for Rachel and Erika to clash, discovering a den of child vampires and disagreeing on how to deal with it. While a solution was being decided on, Rachel’s brother Jacob lost a friend to the vampires, and almost got turned himself were it not for the heroic actions of his sister.

PREVIOUSLY ON URBAN FANTASY: Rachel Lin Smith was just a shy teenage girl until she was turned into a vampire against her will by an evil serial killing monster. Escaping from his perverted clutches, she was able to put a stop to his reign of terror with the help of her geeky friends, who have been working hard to re-acclimate her to her quiet suburban life. Her friends include the most popular girl in school Tanya Daytton (Daughter of the mayor and real name Shawna Dixon) and her childhood best friend, the pudgy and geeky Ian Fletcher. The only thing her two best friends have in common is their love for her. Her other friends include the smart-mouthed loser geek Andrew Grezzy, the cowardly and fussy Bilal Valenca, the gentle giant genius Charlie Gordon, the military obsessed Jason Stride, the sports fan with his brothers car Mike Jones, and Tanya’s best friend Alice. Last year they saved their city not just from a mass murdering vampire, but also an apocalyptic bee swarm brought about by the machinations of a time traveler from the past, Tanya’s own father, trying to jump further into the future. They were able to stop him before he could finish his jump, stranding him in their time period. While they settled back into their old lives, however, Erika Sannik and Jon Mason were settling into new lives, having escaped across the border from a government lab in the United States. A lab where they were subjected to experiments that gave them amazing powers. Experiments involving Synesthesia. While all of that was going on, Andrew and Ian almost got into a threesome with a wiccan, but Ian wasn’t interested.

Our Place's Jon Mason joins Melita & Rebecca to explain his Time Travel Treasure Hunt, the interactive tour telling the story of Brighton-based inventor Magnus Volk.

This week we have a fascinating story for you all on the podcast. Jon Mason joined us on the show. He is the founder of Swing Juice. A golf lifestyle apparel company that focuses on t-shirt designs that golfers would love. But how the company got to this point is incredibly unique. Swing Juice began as an energy drink company that started during the days when the Red Bulls, Vitamin Waters, etc, were becoming a part of everyday life. Jon loved golf and wanted to create a drink for your everyday golfer. He took the idea and ran with it culminating in the drink being stocked in over 300 locations including the holy grail, Whole Foods. But to scale the company to compete with the big name brands at the time was going to take a monumental effort. Jon didn’t know if he wanted to take that next step at this point in his life. Social media also introduced a pain point. He was developing a big fan base around the brand but struggled to ship the product as the model was retail-based so far. So he decided to pivot to what we know as Swing Juice today. Give today’s episode a listen to learn all about the captivating entrepreneurial journey that Jon has been on.

If you venture off the pavement, there’s always the possibility that one wrong move and your bike is off the side of a trail or stuck in a mudhole. The question is, do you have what you need to extract your bike? People, winch, or block and tackle? We did some testing of three different systems, two of which you can take with you on any ride, and one of which is a good back up if not venturing too far, and it’s also ideal for loading your bike on to a trailer. We spoke to Andy Lilienthal at Warn, Dave Peterson at BestRest, Jon Mason at Superwinch and PSSOR riding instructor, Bret Tkacs, who shares some great pointers on motorcycle recovery.

Jon Mason has worked for over 20 years as a low-force chiropractor, but now frames the work he does with clients as part of a “coaching relationship”. And one of the interesting things about Jon is that he’s acutely aware of the link between thought-patterns and health. For full show notes, please visit http://www.jamiesmart.com/yepp06
