S15 EP154: Hour 2 - Callaway Drops Good Good Golf, Plus Flock Cameras, Data Centers and Where the Adults Went
Summary
Erickson critiques Callaway Golf for abandoning partner Good Good Golf after a controversial ad, arguing that established brands failed to mentor young entrepreneurs. He reflects on the importance of having "adults in the room" to guide responsible growth, citing his own past mistakes and mentorship under Rush Limbaugh. Later, he discusses why data centers are built on greenfields rather than repurposing empty strip malls, attributing it to zoning and cost. Finally, he advises companies like Flock to proactively address privacy concerns to gain community trust.
