#21: Jack Nicklaus, Golfer, Businessman & Philanthropist —Learn From Both Success and Failure

Today’s guest is Jack Nicklaus, who is widely regarded as the best golfer to ever play the game.

He hardly needs an introduction! He won 117 professional tournaments over his 44 year career, including six Masters, five PGA championships, four U.S. Open titles, and three British Open titles. 

But his legendary status doesn’t stop with his playing career. He’s gone on to design world renowned courses and build a fantastic brand. He and his wife Barbara have done a tremendous amount of philanthropic work for children’s health. And he’s kept a humble attitude through it all.

There are about a zillion things Jack can teach us about leadership. 

But one big takeaway for us is how he is just as eager to learn from his wins as he is from his losses.

Now, we all know – failure is a great teacher! But success can be, too. When we have a winning moment, we don’t want to just high five each other and move on. It’s important to understand why it worked so we can do more of it!

And you’re about to learn how.
