3 days ago | marketinglegend.medium.com | Andrew Wood

When I was five, the British government decided to turn a few unlucky classrooms — including mine — into guinea pigs for an experimental reading scheme. The goal? Teach kids to read faster using a bizarre phonics-based program. The result? A generation of confused children and, in my case, a lifelong inability to spell. The program was called “ITA” (Initial Teaching Alphabet) — there was only one there, only one bare, and waz had a ” Z.” You get the idea. It was supposed to be clever.

Me and my good friend Nick Stanton circa 1977,In 1977, I was 14, and I wasn’t getting along with my father. That in itself wasn’t news — our disagreements had become a daily tradition — but that year it reached a breaking point. He wanted me to finish school and head off to Oxford. I wanted to quit and play golf. He saw a suit and tie. I saw a golf bag, open skies, and world travel. He wanted structure, legacy, letters after my name. I wanted freedom.

There are moments in history when the winds of war blow stronger than the banners of peace. When you can feel the pressure building — not just in the corridors of power, but in the headlines, the stock markets, and the silent mobilization of militaries across the globe. We are in such a moment again. And all signs point to a flashpoint year: 2027.
The Golf Course MBA: How I Learned from Millionaires Without Ever Stepping into a Classroom

One of the greatest advantages of picking up golf as a kid wasn’t just learning the game — it was learning the game behind the game. From the age of 12 or 13, I found myself walking fairways with doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, real estate moguls, sales pros, and small business owners who ran everything from car dealerships to corner stores. Even back then, my curiosity was insatiable. While most kids were focused on their swings, I was also focused on the story behind the guy hitting the ball.
Never Do This in Your Ads!

Typical lame email in the golf industry, with the deal killer call to action!Why You Should Never Say “Why Not?” in an Ad — And What to Say InsteadIt sounds harmless. Friendly, even. “Why not try it?”“Why not book a tee time?”“Why not come in today?”But here’s the truth: “Why not?” is the weakest, most apologetic, and least persuasive phrase you can put in an ad. It screams hesitation. It oozes uncertainty.

Every May, the world turns its eyes to the shimmering coastline of the Côte d’Azur. Superyachts pack the harbor. Celebrities pour into terraces overlooking the track. Helicopters shuttle the elite from Nice to Monte Carlo. And Formula 1’s most iconic race — the Monaco Grand Prix — takes center stage. But in 2025, that shine has dulled. This year’s race was the final straw for many. For the third consecutive year, there were fewer than five legitimate overtakes after the first lap.

Two Weeks Off? That’s Not a Life. That’s a Prison Sentence.

Life is short. So why are you waiting for permission to live it? One of the biggest culture shocks I experienced after moving from Europe to the United States wasn’t the size of the cars or the price of gas. It was this:👉 Americans only get two weeks of vacation a year. Two. Weeks. Let that sink in. In Europe, four to six weeks off is standard. In Australia, it’s the same. But here in the so-called Land of the Free, most people feel guilty taking ten days off.

Why Living Your Dreams — Even for a Day — Can Rewire Your DestinyBack in my early twenties, around 1986, I was making less than $300 a week — barely enough to pay rent and eat out once in a while. But one afternoon, flipping through a golf magazine, I saw something that made my pulse quicken: a photo of The Boulders Resort in Carefree, Arizona. It was a five-star sanctuary in the desert, with jagged rock formations, world-class golf, and a kind of luxury I had never experienced in my life.
