The GBT Podcast | S6 E2: Scaling Destination Instruction & Business Acquisition with Tyler O'Connor

What does it take for a military veteran and self-funded searcher to acquire, run, and rapidly scale a premier 20+ location golf instruction brand?

In this episode, we sit down with Tyler O'Connor, CEO of Bird Golf Academy, to explore his transition from Army officer to business owner, the strategy behind self-funded acquisitions, and how Bird Golf’s high-touch 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 private coaching model is expanding into top-tier resort markets like Golf Summerlin and Horseshoe Bay.
