Want to learn how to master the art of saying "no," along with the value of focusing on your strengths rather than weakness? ESPN 920 Radio Show Host, writer and media personality Keith Stewart joins the show for a high-energy conversation that spans the spectrum from humorous storytelling and community building to an approach to life that shapes his business methodology.

"The 'why' statement I developed was, 'I want to change the way people view the game of golf,' he says. "Sounds like a lot, but as a PGA pro I started local at my club and I took on the title of Director of Fun. I didn't want to be stuffy as the Director of Golf. People need to show up at the club to enjoy themselves, relax and have a good time. Next thing you know, I'm on the board of The New Jersey PGA and I'm growing a national network of PGA golf professionals and I'm writing and making presentations."

"The natural progression of things is that I went to a larger medium as I got better and better at my craft. So here I am today hosting a radio show for over three years where we talk about the pop culture of golf, the innovators and all the cool things going on in the sport."
