We had the good fortune of connecting with Derek Deminsky and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derek, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
It was pretty simple for me. I chased my PASSION! So my days don’t really feel like work. If you work hard at what you love, the money will be there. I do understand why people work any jobs to support themselves and their families, but nothing feels better when you’re EXCITED to go to work!

 

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve worked very hard to get to where I’m at. Everyone sees the current success, but they don’t see the building blocks. From consistent studying to working to improve my own game and my golf instruction. I’ve worked hard in teaching the past 16 years, so you have to enjoy the process!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Tucson is a very underrated town. The weather is quite lovely year round (I don’t mind the summers! It’s dry and you get used to it), and it’s a beautiful place to be outside. Hiking, golfing and much much more. I love being based in Tucson.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
This is dedicated to my supportive family and everyone who has helped me on my journey.
