Simon Sinek, who wrote the influential book Start With Why, probably doesn’t know Don McDougall, but I’ll bet the author would say the founder of the Toronto Blue Jays has always had a clear sense of ‘why. ‘Picture: Trot Magazine/Brian Acton |
We broke a 100. Howard Glassman and I recorded our 100th episode of Swing Thoughts last week. It’s quite a milestone for us or any podcast. Labatt’s competion was allied with strong sport brands: Molson with hockey and Carling with Canadian football, according to an Ivey Business School story. McDougall and Labatt saw an opportunity to fill a sport vacuum that would be tied to Labatt. At the Hunt Club, I hit more consistent shots than Don, but I also flubbed easy ones and three-putted a lot. I careered from momentary elation to frustration shot to shot, and I desperately hoped that whatever swing thought I was conjuring would work its magic. Even though we were playing just a friendly match, this was my usual game. |
