The Colorado Business Hall of Fame says this of the 2008 inductee: “Harry Frampton has made developing some of the world’s premier ski resort towns an art form. Combining keen business sense with a respect for culture and sport, Frampton works to provide visitors and residents of these bustling towns with a well-rounded experience.” 

The founding partner of East West Partners is also a principal of Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate, putting him in the center of virtually every significant development and real estate transaction in the Vail Valley. From 1982 to 1986, Harry was president of Vail Associates, Inc., and he is also chairman of the board of the Vail Valley Foundation and former President Gerald R. Ford’s World Forum. 

In those roles, he has been instrumental in bringing more cultural and world-class sporting venues and events to the valley, raising its international profile and enhancing the experience for guests and residents alike.

Mr. Frampton has been named to the International Ski Hall of Fame. Chairman of the Urban Land Institute. But most importantly, part of a tribe of people that learned under Charles Fraser, Affectionately known as Charlie’s Angels.

In this podcast, Mr. Frampton teaches us that leadership requires listening.  That real estate development impacts community and national values.  Mr. Frampton's leadership style is making a lot of different people with different skills feel connected to whatever it they are working on and make them feel like they're making a contribution.  In this podcast we chat about old stories from Sea Pines, all the way to the future of real estate.

A true pioneer.  A lover of listening and making others feel heard.  Please enjoy this episode with Harry Frampton.

Today Doug and Brian use the Tournament of Champions tournament to question if real life golf has finally caught up to video game golf. Can the low scores on tour be sustained? Is this just Kapalua? Or is the intersection of athletes, statistics, and equipment ushered in a new normal for golf?

We also get some insight into Doug's golf game at the moment, including a drill he hopes to practice in his basement during the bleak Wisconsin winter.

Finally, we use Kapalua as a jumping off point to discuss our top courses on tour that embrace the region they're in. When you turn on the tv, it's obvious you are in Hawaii for this tournament. Listen in to see some other courses we name that do the same for their part of the country.

And as a bonus after I smacked Todd down last week in the season ending quiz, Megan is back to pit a new challenger for me. The results may shock you.
