About this episode

Tisha Alyn discusses her journey in golf, the sacrifices made by her family, and her evolution into a social media influencer.

Tisha Alyn joins Dan Evans for one of the most honest and wide-ranging conversations we’ve had on the show. From starting golf at 3 years old, to her family moving from Illinois to California for her future in the game, to chasing pro golf with no backup plan, Tisha has always gone all in. In this episode, she opens up about pressure, identity, family sacrifice, coming out in golf, building a career through social media before there was a real blueprint for it, and why she eventually decided to build something even bigger with her own brand. This is a conversation about belief, risk, self-expression, and what it really takes to create your own lane in golf.0:00 Tisha Alyn joins the show0:35 Why golf isn’t really “fun” anymore1:16 Living on airplanes and finally being home2:05 Is balance even possible?3:02 Starting golf at 3 years old3:24 The story of her dad cutting down a golf club4:14 Becoming competitive at a young age4:54 From Rockford to California for golf6:21 The family sacrifice behind her career8:05 When pressure first hit her golf game9:38 Getting humbled in California10:33 Learning to love golf again11:20 Who she was most afraid to let down12:42 Why her siblings didn’t…
