Professional golfer Nick Voke on why the freewheeling, YouTube-golf version of himself has outperformed the disciplined, structured version — and what that says about doing less.

In this episode, Jay Carter and co-host David Galbraith talk with professional golfer Nick Voke about the shift that changed his career — playing more like he does when the cameras are off, and less like a guy trying to prove he's working hard enough.

They cover:

Why "doing less is doing more" is the message Nick has to actively tell himself, given how naturally uptight and constrained his default is

The freewheeling, low-pressure mindset that took over after telling himself he was "just playing like it's YouTube" — and the results that followed

Why professional golf being only part of his identity, not all of it, changed how he trains and how he plays

The gap between knowing you should play free and actually doing it once people are watching — and why that gap is the real work

"For someone who is so uptight and constrained like me, doing less is doing more." — Nick Voke
