#376 What if your next big business idea was hiding in plain sight — like on your golf glove? In this episode hosted by Brien Gearin, we sit down with Randall Pulfer, co-founder of Chipp Golf Co, a company reinventing the golf glove with bold designs and premium materials. Randall shares how he and his college friend went from brainstorming dorm room ideas to cold-emailing Indonesian manufacturers, putting $10K on the line for their first production run, and fulfilling orders from their living room. You’ll learn how they overcame product issues, transitioned to a 3PL, scaled with Meta ads, and leveraged design-driven branding to stand out in a sea of boring golf gear. If you’re curious about starting a product business, mastering direct-to-consumer marketing, or just love a good entrepreneurial origin story — this one’s for you!
