Today's episode we welcome CEO & Founder of Ladies Executive Golf Society (LEGS), Jillian Johnson to the show. LEGS is a women's empowerment businsess that launced in 2018 with the initiative to use golf as a platform to "build business, forge friendships, and connect on a deeper level," (www.ladiesexecutivegolfsociety.com).
"We are seeking to change the paradigm not only on the golf course, but in the business world as well. Rather than fitting into tradition, we felt that women were craving a different experience of golf, designed specifically for women. We are on a mission to create a welcoming, inclusive, female-friendly platform for women to grow professionally and personally through the game of golf." (www.ladiesexectutivegolfsociety.com)
Jillian is going to tell us all about LEGS, why and how she started it, and the vision of LEGS and how it can be the connection of the future of women in golf to their begining.
Emily Atkinson, a member of LEGS Jacksonville, also joins the show to talk about her involvement with LEGS and her upcoming event, LEGS Goes Red with Coach Mo, and how since 2004, the American Heart Association's “Go Red for Women” initiative has addressed the awareness and clinical care gaps of cardiovascular disease.
LEGS, American Heart, Playing Through Performance, & Coach Mo at The Golf Academy of St. Johns are teaming up for this event to raise awareness about women's health and women's golf businesses, and have a blast doing it with fun competitions and prizes from Taylormade Golf as well as a raffle full of local goodies from local women's businesses like F45 Bartram Park, Casey Hayes with Golden Effervescence, The Golf Academy at St. Johns, LEGS, and more!
