Hit 'Em Straight Podcast
Hosted by entrepreneurs Shawn Dill and Christian Galt, the Hit Em Straight Podcast is where golf meets life and business. Each episode blends real stories from the fairway with the challenges of leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.
Shawn and Christian use the game of golf—its etiquette, rivalries, camaraderie, and unexpected conflicts—as a mirror for life’s biggest lessons. From handling misunderstandings with grace to leading with confidence under pressure, every story teed up on the podcast reveals practical insights you can take back to your business, relationships, and personal journey.
Expect humor, honesty, and plenty of “golf meets life” moments as they share experiences, trade stories, and remind us that whether in golf or business, it’s not about perfection—it’s about how you handle the game.
