    Jen and Lesley chat with professional golfer James Nicholas about perseverance, personal branding, and the realities of building a career in professional golf.
    From his days as a multi-sport athlete at Yale University to competing on the Korn Ferry Tour, James reflects on the winding road to professional golf and the lessons he learned along the way.
