This week we talk with John Solheim – the Chairman and CEO of PING.  For over five decades, this family-owned manufacturing company has called Arizona home, and John recounts both their history and his path to leading the company.  

In this podcast, John discusses many subjects, including:

• lessons learned in their Phoenix garage building the first Anser putters,
• how he balances his passion for engineering with his responsibilities as CEO,
• how technology and creativity influence design,
• his approach to succession in a family-owned business,
• his favorite life lesson from the game of golf,
• the importance of investing in the community and the military,
• and much, much more.
