The Thing About Golf: #124 Ryan French

The Thing About Golf Podcast

Our special guest this week discusses the new media landscape, building a media business when you had no intention of ever doing so and the challenges of monetising what started out as a hobby.

There is no shortage of underdog stories in Hollywood, but in real life - in the day to day news media - those narratives are harder to find.

This is as true in golf as any other section of the media and Ryan French is one of the players in this space, although it is more by accident than by design.
