Cal Dorohoy, founder of Fairway Co and director of Innovation for VaynerSports, joins Dave to discuss the ambitious Fairway Long Drive Tour across Canada and the intersection of athletics and entrepreneurship.
• Cal created Fairway Lager after identifying the untapped opportunity to own the "social side of golf"
• The beer contains a protease enzyme cutting 90% of gluten, making it less filling for extended days on the course
• The Long Drive Tour spans from Tofino, BC to Cabot Nova Scotia over 18 days
• Playing 18 rounds with over 50 athletes, creators, and entrepreneurs showcases Canadian talent
• Cal transitioned from soccer to business after an injury, finding that his competitive athletic mindset transferred directly
• Athletes make excellent entrepreneurs because they understand teamwork, competition, and resilience
• Both professional athletics and entrepreneurship require sacrifice and dedication behind the glamorized social media presence
• The vision includes building communities in each city for future tours, connecting people through golf
• Law of attraction and clear goal-setting have been crucial to Cal's success in business
• Sports that allow multi-generational play and moderate drinking (golf, pickleball, curling) create unique social connections
