Now, he is known as the connected golfer with the core purpose of helping others find meaning in their life. In this episode, Leo talks about how playing golf changed his life. he believes that golf is "80% mental because you're hitting the same shot. You're hitting different shots, but you're swinging relatively the same way.  It's how well you consistently repeat a movement in different scenarios, and it requires you to have a consistent process and a consistent rhythm. " How do you build a connection? He added that for you to have a consistent process and rhythm, you need to be able to have a clear mind and a very directed mind. You also need to direct your awareness to a small focus, a small target, and you need to be able to match that target with a rhythm. And that is really what connection is all about."   Connect with Leo Herrera LinkedIn YouTube Instagram Instagram - Evnigolf Instagram - Quality Play   Connect with Mike Szczesniak Instagram LinkedIn YouTube

Leo Herrera is a Mexican self-taught visual artist, activist and writer based in San Francisco. His work focuses on the American queer experience, politics and history. His short, viral films have been seen by millions, featured in global media outlets and museum exhibits. He travels extensively to discover facets of queer culture/history and expose them to a new generation while paying homage to the past. Leo's current passion project is Fathers, a sci-fi documentary web series and multimedia project that imagines the world if AIDS never existed and a generation had lived. Weaving real-life events, survivor histories and fictionalized events, Fathers creates a surreal vision of an alternative universe.   Episode Highlights Leo discusses how he started making films for nightlife events. The Fathers Project started as he made art about HIV/AIDS, then morphed into the idea of the absence of AIDS. His interest in sci-fi and technology, and how that is woven into the Fathers project. Talking to the ghosts of other artists who died of AIDS as a guiding influence in his work. What it means to imagine a Queer Utopia as a vision of hope for our community. How being an immigrant is an influence on his work, looking from the outside at the fictitious future of America.
