Welcome back to another episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast! Today, Matt sits down for an exciting interview with Harry Arnett, the founder of the rapidly growing lifestyle and apparel brand, Municipal. After a legendary career navigating the golf equipment space, Harry took a leap of faith to build a brand meant for the modern, active lifestyle. Harry details his fascinating journey, from starting out in sports radio while making $8 an hour to leading marketing powerhouses at TaylorMade and Callaway. We dive deep into the philosophy of Municipal's "sport utility aesthetic," what it’s like co-founding a company with Mark Wahlberg, and why golfers need gear that performs just as well on a hike or in the gym as it does on the course. In this episode, we cover: - Harry’s early career transition from sports radio to becoming a leading marketing mind at TaylorMade and Callaway. - The exact moment Harry decided to leave his comfortable position in golf to bet on himself and launch Municipal in 2019. - How Municipal was built to support a modern, multi-hyphenate life rather than just fitting the traditional "golf aesthetic". - The success of Municipal athletes on tour, including Wyndham Clark's back-to-back U.S. Open victories while wearing the gear. - Harry's thoughts on the current landscape of golf content creators and the importance of unique storytelling. - Behind-the-scenes insights into working alongside co-founders Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.

Join Matt on this episode of The Chasing Daylight Podcast as he sits down with Jackson Davison and Mike Vriezema , the co-founders of Xchange Golf . They dive deep into their revolutionary new putter shaft, the XG1, which allows golfers to quickly swap out grips and handles without ever having to change the putter head. Whether you are a club fitter or a gear tinkerer, you won't want to miss this conversation about prioritizing feel and unlocking your best putting stroke. Episode Highlights: Jackson and Mike's backgrounds in golf instruction, club fitting, and mechanical engineering. The origin story of how Xchange Golf was sparked by a 10-year-old idea about the costs and risks of regripping a putter. The process of taking prototypes from 3D printing to full USGA compliance. The critical importance of "feel" and visual comfort when standing over a putt. How the quick-change grip system solves major pain points in the putter fitting process. Addressing the skeptics: why the XG1 maintains swing weight and why you won't feel the joint in the shaft.
