THE 25TH HOUR - coming 8/11/26

How much time do we lose to fear, overthinking, conflict, and self-doubt?

A lot. That is the premise of THE 25TH HOUR.

Our reactions and emotions quietly eat away at our time and energy. In his decades as a CEO and leadership partner to other founders, leaders, and operators, Neal Schore has learned that the biggest gains come less from trying to manage the calendar and more from managing yourself.

THE 25TH HOUR equips you with proven tools and practical methods to regain control of your focus, remain grounded and effective, communicate with clarity and impact, build lasting trust and credibility, and make confident, well-informed decisions with greater consistency and less hesitation.

Becoming an "accidental" golf course owner https://t.co/iBNy2iBOXb via @YouTube

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

Tom Coyne (@coynewriter), editor of @GolfersJournal, has played some of the most exclusive golf courses in the world. But when he visited a nine-hole course in New York's Catskills that had seen better days and was up for sale, he took on a new challenge: running the course for a year to see if he could turn it around.

Coyne talks with Lee Cowan about his efforts to preserve a rural community's beloved course, and about his new book, "A Course Called Home: Adventures of an Accidental Golf Course Owner." https://t.co/KGwdNnEEv6
