⛳ Los Angeles Golf Club has some of the best players in the *world* on their roster, including none other than Justin Rose 🏌️♂️ The 11-time PGA Tour winner was born in South Africa to English parents, returning to England when he was just 5 years old... ...where he started playing golf pretty much immediately. He was so good that he broke 70 for the first time at *11* years old. He was a +3 handicap by 14. Rose played in the Walker Cup at age 17, but it wasn't until the 1998 Open Championship that he exploded fully onto the scene. He tied for 4th after holing a stunning shot from the rough from about 50 yards for birdie on the 18th hole. That's golf for: "holy $H!t." He went on to become golf's first Olympic gold medalist in more than *100* years when he won the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In doing so, he recorded the first hole-in-one ever during an Olympic game. In 2018, he reached No. 1 in the world 🤯 Justin will join the rest of the LAGC roster on January 7th in Palm Beach Gardens, FL to tee off TGL's inaugural season 🔥 Follow LAGC to stay updated before the big match → https://lnkd.in/eHipcPcM

Our own Katelin Holloway joined The Full Ratchet Podcast to talk about becoming an accidental investor, building a great team, and why her HR skills made her the secret weapon on every cap table 🥷 Here are just a few of her great insights from the convo ↓  1️⃣ Investing & recruiting share a skillset. You must be able to ID the best talent *and* know the network around that talent. Great investors and great HR professionals always know where all the best players in the game are *and* what motivates them to be there. 2️⃣ Great founders are great salespeople. A huge part of being a founder is convincing people of things. You need to convince investors of your vision, employees of your leadership, and customers of your product. If you don't know how to sell, you'll struggle to succeed. 3️⃣ "Why are you going to spend the rest of your life building this?" This question is one of the best to ask when evaluating a founder. It might seem simple, but how a founder answers will reveal how they think, what they prioritize, and exactly what motivates them. The full ep is packed with even more wisdom on everything from building a performance culture to why the world of venture is poised for big changes. Listen here → https://lnkd.in/eitZaHyU
