episode 22: Golf as the answer to Life's Challenges With Michael Chiong
What does it look like to turn your hobby into a business? And how do you turn that business into something that enriches the community?
This is the story of Michael Chiong, an Experience Design Leader who's made many friends over the years walking the 5-and-a-half to 6 miles it takes to get around a golf course (depending on how well you hit the ball) with people who were, at first, complete strangers.
Michael saw an opportunity to grow the game of golf and help increase diversity, inclusivity, and equity with his clothing brand, EVNPAR Golf.
EVNPAR is an inclusive golf brand that creates premium golf gear and apparel. Michael believes that golf is a universal passion that can bring people together. His vision is to build a thriving community representative of all who love the game.
Golf can also be the perfect antidote to too much screen time and the instant gratification that today's youth are so focused on. Golf lessons are life lessons, and this warmhearted chat between two golfing fanatics will indeed have you looking to book your next tee time in some of EVPAR's latest apparel!
