I am new to The Back 9, so appreciate meeting Dennis and being introduced. The podcast really resonates with me, I am in the back 9 of life and have been an entrepreneur for 27 years. I am enteral seeker of joy and balance so happy to have found a podcast that speaks to those goals personally and a community of the same seekers.
I’m intrigued by the name, given a decent amateur golf history, but the comparison and narrative to life in general was very relatable. Especially in today’s world, specifically speaking the Dudley Hart interview was very cool! Keep up the good work!
We had the best time as a guest on The Back 9 podcast! Dennis and Josh made it an absolutely fantastic experience and we can’t wait to be back. They were so welcoming and made it really easy to open up and share our thoughts and experiences. These guys are truly a class act and we’re looking forward to flipping the script soon on the Sweet and Spicy podcast! Thanks for having us on! Carolina (aka Spicy)
