The Rise And Grind Podcast

Episode 002 - Bill Rogers

Imagine just for a second, that whatever you do in life - realtor, hair dresser, teacher, mechanic, knitter - that you became THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

The pursuit for greatness is a tall task, and Bill climbed that mountain, all the way to the #1 spot in golf in 1981. 

I met Bill in 2010, my first year at University of Texas at San Antonio, Bill was our “assistant coach” (most overqualified assistant coach in NCAA history haha), and ever since 2010 Bill has been one of the most significant people in my life in terms of character development, helping me deal with adversity, and he is ALWAYS there to pick up the phone if I need a chat. 

This conversation was fascinating, Bill’s vulnerability and openness is unmatched. We talk about his upbringing, learning to compete, the inner character and will to climb the ranks of professional golf, going from an elite player to #1 in the world, life on Tour, and his transition into other endeavours after his player career, and everything in between. 

If this Podcast stopped right now, with only 1 guest, I would be at peace with that, that’s how much Bill means to me, and how much I appreciated this conversation. 

I hope you enjoy, I hope you learn, I hope this motivates you to #riseandgrind!
