#112 - Seamus Golf: Akbar Chisti (Founder)

Behind the Golf Brand Podcast with Paul Liberatore

In this week episode I interview my good Akbar Chisti the CEO and co-founder of Seamus Golf. Akbar started Seamus Golf out of his garage with his wife Megan Chisti in 2011. Since the beginning, every product they make is meant to tell its own story. Whether it’s the U.S. Open, The Masters, or a number of custom projects they have pursued for some of the most influential and inspirational people, their company stands to partner with their golfers and give them a way to represent and connect with others. They are proud and grateful to their Makers and Administrative staff who work tirelessly together to overcome the challenges of small business in the modern era. They are grateful to their partners, customers, and vendors who have combined together to embrace and permit them to become the most sought-after accessory maker in golf.
