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.
