Questions from Matt Fisher (MSG) to Matt Kendrick (GG CEO)
2:15 “Let's back up to the beginning, what’s your background and how did you get into the space?”
8:33 “So Garrett brought in the editor/camera guys?”
9:10 “So GoodGood launches, how do you find, I guess Bubbie was the next add, right?”
10:22 “So with the, they moved to Dallas, they’re in the house, how is that? You pay for the house, they come… it’s all covered by you? How does that work?”
11:56 “So how do you meet… how does Grant come into the picture here?
14:17 “How do these trips work out? How do they get planned and executed? Can you break this down for us?”
17:05 “How far in advance are you, let’s say from shooting to airing the video?”
17:45 “Who is coming up with all the video ideas?”
18:21 “Who decides who’s a part of the team? There are a couple of vacancies, so who picks the talent there?”
20:41 “How is GoodGood structured?”
21:45 “So when a guy like Micah leaves, it creates more of an issue because he has equity?”
22:46 “So Micah leaves and that came as a shock to a lot of people. But I think a lot of people saw it coming based on how it started. If you rewind enough, it was GM Golf, Garrett and Micah, and then there was really no Micah until GoodGood, it was really only until GoodGood started when Micah was involved.”
23:43 “So Micah leaves, he is doing pro, married. The shocker is Grant leaves, and it didn’t seem like anyone saw that coming especially with how he was pretty tied in with Garrett on GM golf and has his own channel, what happened Matt?”
26:32 “What exactly is the “kitchen sink”?”
28:23 “You may not answer this, but I have to ask it, does it have anything to do with LIV golf?
29:32 “How do you deal with the fact that you bring guys into the GoodGood family, you give them a platform, they build their channel up to a substantial level, an then they bolt. What do you do with that?”
32:14 “Is there a non-compete and what does that look like?”
32:47 “Does GoodGood own any piece of their personal channel or does it have any stake at all?”
33:53 “These guys own a percentage of the company; I am guessing it’s not all equal percentages? Are they paid on a percentage of revenue for whatever it generates per month or is there a salary they are receiving? How does that work?”
35:19 “How do you handle the fact that a company wants to sponsor Garrett for example, right, GM Golf. Let’s say a sponsor wants to work with Garrett and not GoodGood, how does that play into the whole situation?”
38:01 “Do the guys own a piece of all your arms - Apparel? Product?”
38:29 “With the apparel, how big is that piece of the business outside of RUclips? Give me a pie chart of this.”
39:58 “How do you get paid? How are you making your money?”
41:50 General conversation
46:55 “Who is on the shortlist to fill in for Grant? I guess you need a Grant and a Micah fill-in for next week.”
47:30 “What big names do you have coming to the channel?”
50:20 GoodGood Putter talk
54:25 “How fast do these putters sell out?”
55:40 “What is your prediction in terms of the future of golf in the next 5 years? What do you see there?
58:32 “Do you think there is going to be a RUclipsr golf tour or league?
1:01:09 “Are there going to be, is there plans to add a girl to the GoodGood group? Is that something you are looking into?”
1:02:01 “Would you do a GoodGood female channel? Who would be on that channel?”
The hero we need
I’m
Glad u have no job
A true legend
This is the best thing anyone has ever done for anyone ever.
Check out Sabrina Andolpho. She would be dope for the Good Good Girls team
Unbelievable that Matt Kendrick was so open in this conversation. He owes the RUclips community nothing, they changed staff and are moving forward. This transparency needs to be applauded
actually the youtube community...gave them all there money... he owes the community everything..
@@crdude806 I think you missed his point. They don't owe anyone answers about their personal business just because we click on their videos. They clearly appreciate their fans, they honestly never shut up about it and make sure to say it in every single video. But If I build a table and you like the table and you come to my table store and buy the table that concludes our business. I don't "owe you everything" because you bought the table. I just owe you a table.
I may appreciate your business and feel grateful that people like buying the tables I worked hard to build, but I don't owe you answers about my bookkeeping or employee relations or anything else. And if one of my employees gets a job offer at the furniture store across town that pays more and is closer to where they live and people around town start gossiping an speculating about how I'm a terrible boss and my employees must be toxic and a bunch of other untrue guesses, they owe ME an apology, not the other way around.
@@crdude806 more dots..... .... ....
@@brokesy3515 this isnt a store mate.its online and bubbie is usually the only one to thank everyone in videos. good good isnt a store..i mean it might be in cali or texas by now. but they became millionaires from online. so people who supported them gave them money should know where their money went and hows things going? no?
@@crdude806 respectfully i disagree. you use the term "mate" so I'll assume you are in the UK and use any team from the Premier league as an example. Do any of those teams hold press conferences to tell you how they are spending their money received from the fans? Do any musical artists disclose this information? Do you tell your boss how you are spending the money they pay you? With RUclips we simply watch, like and subscribe and the RUclipsrs put in all the work and earn a living. They don't owe us any explanations at all. If we don't like what they're doing then we unsubscribe or if we're fans then on we go and look forward to new content. Matt chose to speak up and be transparent when he really didn't need to. This news will fade and new content will be made. Honestly life is good.
I was completely invested in this pod. He pulled back more of the curtain than I expected.
Wayyyy more than I thought. Very insightful and fun listening to. @mrshortgame did fantastic job asking questions as well
23:50 grant discussion
@@StockG thank you!
Wow this was the exact comment I was looking for to give me a reason to indulge
Kind of a red-pill moment?
Matt’s openness here made me like GG brand even more. Down to earth and seems like a genuine guy.
I agree
reminds me of the back street boys manager. Him and Garrett are dating
@@anodizervintage9622 dawg stop that weirdo shit. He found Garrett first snd garret is his main stay. Literally everyone else could leave, but Garrett and some other random would still turn up views
He’s full of shit, he’s just another money hungry self indulged “manager”
@@vvsallstar50 What’s your proof? Surely you have great evidence for such a strongly worded statement
Their growth might be stunted, but I have no doubt that Good Good will be fine. However, losing two of your three best golfers/biggest stars is a huge hit. Great job MrShort Game for getting this interview posted so quickly
Yea, nobody wants to watch horrible ass bubbie and dorky Steve play golf. The competitive level is gonna be trash. Garrett should just go do his own thing or just be him and grant. The others need one of those two. They are unwatchable on their own.
IMO, Micah wasn't one of their big stars. Good Good isn't like watching the pro's, it's like watching a family. It's more of a sitcom (not the best analogy), but there are characters and you tune in for the people more than the skill. Micah was great, don't get me wrong, but his personality wasn't in the top 3. I think the Good Good Cup week proved that, as Kwon literally filled perfectly for Micah. But Grant...damn. Grant was a central character. Gonna be REAL hard to replace him. But they all knew that, and that's why they "threw the kitchen sink" at him. There's a reason they weren't saying that about Micah.
@@Drillbitayler Jesus built my driver . If you don't get the reference I understand. I grew up playing golf and punk rock 😂
@@Drillbitayler You think Kwon has more personality than Tig?
@@ipntgallery5515 lol what... Grant is hilarious and has been a huge part of Good Good becoming a household name in the the golf world. Also Micah is pretty cool. Bubbie is also open about his faith, but none of the guys are pushing it on their fans.
Give you credit for the interview. You asked some hard, intrusive questions but in a friendly manner.. And, he actually answers most!
It took Mr. Short game to get the scoop. Well done, Matt!
Do you think this could be about performance 54. The saudi golf management that manages rick shiels. The troubke started in the UK with these guys. Maybe they were offered a deal and micah and grant wasnt in on it because they are very religious folk and dont like to be associated with that. And maybe they werent allowes to develop their own brand /channels as much. Crazy theory..maybe
. But the ceo mentioning we will only know january. Makes it seems there is some kind of "deal" new start for GG and hence why those 2 left
@@kr-lp2nj I think the offer was extended to grant and tig but they would not work for Performance54. That is my guess
Wow really interesting. Never knew the CEO had such a major role in the idea and creation of Good Good. I thought he was just a hired manager of the company to help out once they grew bigger. This was cool. Thanks for sharing Matt
same'
He touched on it but initailly he helped start the Googan Squad in 2016 which has grown to the largest fishing youtube brands in the world, and has now grown to one of the fastest growing fishing bait and supply companies in the industry. He's using that formula to do the same thing to GoodGood but even faster.
Yeah same. Kinda of a let down for me. As it was more romantic to think goodgood was just started with friends sitting around. However to find out it’s a calculated business it loses some of that ‘mystic’ that made goodgood relatable to the average golfer.
@@mre_man It still started as a group between friends and family, even before Bro5 was happening, and since none of them finished college they just needed help planning a real growth model, setting up a large business, and someone to find connections to sponsors/partners so they can focus on content. CEO Matt is just a guy that is helping them grow and facilitate the needs and ideas that the boys have.
What's funny is all you massive fans know nothing about the ins and outs of good good. But will talk shit when ppl leave 😂
Garrett is 100% the glue that holds Good Good together.. but I didn't know Kendrick had been around so long.. Sounds like they're a great duo.
Been around since Call of Duty was all that was on RUclips. He’s slimy.
Look up Hecz from Optic Gaming. If he’s a partner like Kendrick stated, you’ll get all the insight you need to understand the what, when’s and why’s.
G is the man
@@adamszewczyk7829 Maybe Kendrick is trying to learn rom Hecz mistakes and that's why he's willing to not take a salary and let them have freedom or their own channels and not enforce non-competes and non-solicitation (both clearly relevant in Grant's case as he hinted at in the interview). We don't have any good information to imply he's shady and we have quite a bit to the contrary thus far. For now we can give Kendrick the benefit of the doubt, otherwise it seems like you're hating just to hate.
@@brokesy3515 Dude, ain’t no hater tots on my plate. Kendrick has been involved with RUclips for 15 years, I’m a Sr. Software Engineer who has been bored at work watching YT for 20 years. I’m pretty familiar with Him and his “partners”.
They rolled out this model for MLG, Fishing and now Golf. I had NO IDEA they were behind Good Good
68 yr old avid golfer here who subscribes to Good Good, MSG, Rick Shiels, and a few others. Love the content. My retirement job is working in the Pro Shop of a private club. Just the other day, a thirty-something yr old member came in wearing a Good Good hat. We immediately struck up a conversation about the channel.
First off, thanks for this episode. Secondly, ur absolutely the right person to be doing these kinds of videos/podcast. Because ur extremely mature, and intelligent to figure out and debunk unnecessary drama and speculations about different topics.
I see alot of these RUclipsrs making videos about dramas for clicks, and to basically increase unnecessary and dumb drama that in the end only will hurt Golf. You do the exact opposite.
Also i think it truly shows of how good of a person you are, and how much you care about golf well being in general.
Ur starting to really become one of the absolute best influencers in golf imo. Please dont ever stop. Much love ❤️
Both Matt's killed it. Great questions and Kendrick did his best to answer as much as he could.
Man, those questions were top tier! Great job interviewing and I’m extremely surprised he answered in depth as much as he did about various topics. Definitely think you doing more of these golf interviews in the YT space is a solid idea as well!
Matt Kendrick is a phenomenal businessman and leader of young men. He's changed the world of 2 huge sports and I'm just wondering what's next
@@Mjones8383 what other sport besides golf has Kendrick worked in?
@@lpeabody he referenced in the interview that he was a part of the fishing industry as well
Really appreciate the openness from the CEO and the willingness of Matt to push questions that he could and not push so much that he turned CEO Matt off to answering more questions. Great interview!
I’ve only become aware of this situation this past week. Not to diminish anyone but I’m amazed so many people care about this topic.
This was great. Got more answers rather than having more questions. Saw this was over an hour long and thought I'd be fast forwarding but the whole thing was a really good listen. Love that you ask direct questions and don't skirt around issues. Great interview.
Yo to be following this story from the beginning of the googan squad to now and to hear all this backstory and how all these little details are tied in together is everything thank you so much manager Matt for not holding this info back
Same!
I have a ton of respect for Kendrick for this interview.
Stopped listening around the 42 minute mark when Matt (the CEO) tried painting a picture that he just works for free because he's living a dream and made good investments in a prior life. While that may be factually true, the reason he doens't take a paycheck is because he likely has a heavy majority stake in the company's equity and is playing the long game. And you know what.. that's smart and there's nothing wrong with it, but don't talk to a large audience like you're the smartest person in the room and we're all just going to eat up the story that you're doing this out of the kindness of your heart.
Wishing the Good Good guys, Micah, and Grant all the best moving forward. They all deserve great things for their hard work.
Kind of a misleading for him to say that when he even talks about distributions. May not be taking a salary but taking a fat distribution annually is still getting paid.
@@WhiteKong exactly. He could have easily just said "yeah I don't take a paycheck because I have plenty of capital from my prior investments and dont need it. I'm in this for the long haul because I love what I do and I own a majority stake in the company as the founder and original financer".
@@Malace629 That would still be misleading. I’ve seen 100’s of business tax returns and it is pretty normal for owners to take an annual distribution of net profits. While he technically isn’t getting a monthly salary he is still getting paid substantially (especially if he’s the majority owner) through those distributions each year.
@@WhiteKong 100%
Honestly what a refreshing way to handle this situation. Let the guy who knows what's going on tell everyone what's going on. Fantastic work on this. Loved it. 👌
Craziest nugget from this interview was the bit about merch accounting for 75% of their revenue. Insane.
That's not odd for YT. Linus Media Group other wise know as LTT has a similar distribution where adsense doesn't bring in all that much.
I was thinking it would be like 20%. They sell out so quickly, I assume that they never buy bulk
@@davidsollenberger2998 Same I always assumed they just didn't stock enough. Turns out they stock quite a bit, but just sell a ton of it.
It's a merch company that uses Golf content to promote the items, not the other way around.
The first thing he says in the interview is that his background is merch.
I was talking about this with my wife a few days ago, and I had the numbers backward. I had no idea they were selling that much merch.
I don’t know who you are, but you put on a hell of an interview. You asked every question people wanted to know the answer to. Nice work
Wow thanks Matt for bringing us this Interview! So good! Kendrick is a solid guy!
Mr ShortGame with the Exclusives 💪🏼
Well this answers a lot of questions. Great job nabbing the interview and asking the right questions.
Well done, Mr. Short Game! Great questioning and persistence. Made him answer some tough questions and he gave the info. He would not have opened up this much if you weren't a trusted brand and personality. I miss your backyard net and chickens but glad to see you grow. Keep it up!
I came in to it being one of the matt Kendrick “pitchfork wielding” guys thinking he was responsible for things going south. Learned a lot from this and now really like the guy. This podcast and your questions were amazing and exactly what was needed surrounding this situation! Well done and thank you!
Respect to both Matt’s on great questions and finally some good answers
This guy is unbelievable. The GG guys are pretty young and to have a guy like Matt who’s there for them all must make the parents feel a lot better!
Completely disagree. He is mediocre, at absolute best.
@@gv4145what makes him mediocre!? People will just hate for the sake of it.
@@gv4145 he takes care of the business side of Good Good and, if you had not noticed, Good Good business is booming. I do believe you don't know what you are talking about.
@@gv4145 what??
@@gv4145 based on what?
Really enjoyed this Mr Short Game. This was an awesome interview and perfectly constructed. This was very professional and enjoyable. Always appreciate the content you put out there.
Mr shortgame coming through with the hard hitting interview! Well done! This was so interesting. I’m surprised he answered most of your questions since it’s a private company.
I 100% gurantee he was 40-49% stake in good good since inception, Micah left an This guy bought his stake and is majority stake now. So many corporate big wig decisions going down, expenses going through the roof and staff ballooning. I suspect that might be a good (at least partial) reason Grant left, if that is true.
Also, his answer about not taking a check is EXTREMELY misleading and he is insanely smart to have said and done it that way. How could he be the bad guy, he doesn't even get a paycheck. The trick is he is absolutely making money from GG and his stake is growing by the minute, he just doesn't get a paycheck. Lots of CEOs say/do that for PR. Many will say, "well, they say I have to get a paycheck so I just get paid $0.01. Meanwhile they are getting paid, just not via ther term of a paycheck and make WAY more money (or maybe wealth may be more accurate) than you would even guess.
snake
Bingo. This guy has become far too comfortable assuming his entire audience is made up of 12 year old kids
I don’t see how it’s misleading to any adults, maybe to very young people who do now understand how ownership over a business works
@Alex Hendershot He is making it sound like he doesn't het paid. I mean, they are a private company, and really, it is pretty inconsequential, but it is certainly misleading.
Nothing is misleading if you already understand all the information, that is kind of the definition of misleading.
I too find it greasy. He is like a boy band creator and I bet is making absolute bank from it. Grant said things aren't as they appear and I bet behind closed doors the main guys aren't getting what they deserve. Micah and grant walking away from what appears such a good gig shows that things are off.
It’s so crazy how invested Good Good will have you. They have thousands of people acting like schoolgirls trying to figure out why these guys left the channel. Is there any beef, is it Grants Wife, does grant not like being number 2 to Kwon?
Come on now, most of us are men, and we can’t gossip like little girls about this. Be happy for them, they’re doing great. We’re still going to get content.
This is the best interview ever! Well done!
Lol some standards you have. Fuck me.
PR blitz is on! Wishing all of the parties the best going forward. There is billions of dollars in golf and plenty to go around for all of these guys.
Thanks for the video. Much success to ALL current, future, and past Good Good members.
This interview definitely opened my eyes into how good good works behind the scenes. Great questions and thanks to Matt for being so transparent.
Great interview with the much needed questions and information! Didnt expect to sit through this full hour, but did no problem! Keep it goin
Thank you for getting this interview and getting us fans some clarity on the situation. Well done MSG
I think it’s awesome that Grant wasn’t willing to compromise is morals for the all-mighty dollar.
How is this about morals? The only thing I see is Grant wanted more money than his peers. Doesn't seem like a great character trait. I've always found the people that preach end up being the worst. Not saying Grant's like this but it seems like he used Good good to me. Fame, money and influence send people down the wrong path. I hope I'm wrong.
@@only_son5040 if grant wanted more money he would’ve stayed because it was offered to him.. This likely is something personal.
@Matt I guess we will all find out on January 3rd. I'm guessing they are partnering with a big name in golf like Taylormade or Cobra and he is getting sponsorship from a competing company but if they were all working towards this goal why would he back out when it's attainable? Time with family doesn't make sense because they only work 1 week a month and was still able to do whatever he wanted on his own channel.
@@only_son5040 he would back out here because they would have to cut ties with all their sponsorships and essentially sell themselves to corporate good good where he would take, let’s say 10% profit margin, but Kendrick takes 50%. Grants decision allows himself the freedom he’s always wanted from the start. You are absolutely right though, this is almost guaranteed that it’s a massive partnership coming. Grant branching off on his own brings more personal potential, he’s gained serious business knowledge while in good good, can use that for growing his own brand if he ever wanted.
I agree. It has to be something that doesn’t sit well with him, whether it’s the company they are partnering with, or the product.. it didn’t sit well with him, and he’s going back to his family. Can’t hate on that
Matt, kudos on a great interview and not shying away from the candid questions. Also huge shout out to CEO Matt not only doing the interview but willing to dive into quite a bit of detail. Well done gentlemen.
The Matt's giving the answers everyone was looking for, almost. So much insight, so much to be comfortable about again. Thanks a bunch Matt & Matt.
MSG to the rescue!!!!! Thanks for getting us the answers we all were looking for. You were the very first RUclips golfer I followed and I will continue to follow you all the way buddy!!!! Love your channel!!!
Yeah this interview was great - I feel like we got a lot of information that was so frustrating not to get from the Good Good and Grant Horvat videos. Thanks for brining on Matt Kendrick, putting a face to Good Good and helping shed light on GolfTube.
This is a CEO I would love to have as my lead. Super open and reasonable business man. Great interview Matt!
Not sure how you pulled off getting that interview but that was impressive. I learned a lot about Good Good I didn't know and their CEO came across very well.
Great, great, great video Mr Short Game. For sure getting a better glimpse into the reason why Grant left and it makes so much sense now…I think it’s deeper than a future GG club deal…it’s a man that knows his worth and not willing to let a guy behind the scenes dictate their every move. Really wish the Good Good mission just stayed true to how and why they started in the first place instead of treating it primarily like a business.
I’m 54 and watch just about every Good Good video. Those guys are just honest, down to earth real dudes. Glad to see Matt maturing too, not constantly mugging for the camera. Happy for their success.
What a great GREAT interview! Thank you both for sitting down for this. Love yall!
I was always under the assumption that GoodGood was Garrett and the guys company, who then got Matt in to help run the business side of the company.
It makes a lot more sense now, and I can understand why Micha and Grant have left. Some people love structure and some love flexibility.
Great insight Into what is actually happening. Can't help but feel that this transparency should have come a lot quicker from the GG guys.
Great interview MrShortGame
Baffles me that some don't seem to comprehend this. No different than us normal guys real world....some like the flexibility and risk:reward of being an entrepreneur, your own boss reaping all of your hard work. Where as some personalities like the corporate umbrella and safety net that it provides and give up a little freedom and compensation to make it work. To each there own.
Great interview Matt. You will benefit from this interview and you deserve it. You been grinding.
Your doing something similar to agent zero in 2k. He started a show where he acted like a news program and would report on all the drama and news in the nba 2k community and it was a big hit. Not as much drama in golf youtube but similar idea.
Long time Good Good fan and i'm now a fan of Kendrick. Legit guy with great vision and fair business. Thank you for this Matt Fisher.
This was awesome! This was exactly what I was looking for when they dropped the video announcing that good good had a ceo. Well done Mr short game. Much appreciated!
Great interview with Matt sharing insight into the details of the business structure. I'm glad these young men are stakeholders. I hope their shares are in some way marketable as the company expands. They deserve to make a bundle. As for Grant, his demeanor and engaging personality has blown up his stock in the marketing world and it's all his, and his new bride's, to build together. Good luck to all of them.
So Kendrick gave him a better offer to leave bro5 and start good good. Talk about loyalty
Ah ding ding! Now we know what really went down.
Absolutely love the good good videos. The guys just give off so much positive energy. I’m age 45 and started to watch the good good videos at the start of this year and they pushed me to start playing again after stopping 5 or 6 years ago. Shame Grant and Micah left but I’m sure the guys will bounce back and go from strength to strength.
He literally spelled it out. Good Good is coming out with clubs. Micah is sponsored by Cobra, Grant is sponsored by Mizuno. My bet is they both weren’t willing to give up those sponsors. Among other things… but Micah going pro he needs his Cobra sponsorship, Grant probably felt this was going to be a compromise.
Isn't Garrett sponsored by Mizuno as well?
I believe your bang on, same thing I heard. Why employ a guy who’s a golf club engineer to just do putters. Some of the comments so far are pure crazy lol.
They want to be a major golf equipment brand and as stated that was a goal from the start. Can’t have your brand ambassadors playing competitor equipment.
They all have club sponsors
They all have club sponsors
@@tylerj6832 and my guess all their contracts are up at the beginning of the year.
Such a shame to see Grant & Micah to leave GoodGood
I came for the trick shots but stayed for Micah and Grant. Most likely won’t be watching as much anymore. Sad.
No is not a shame. They’ll be just fine
I agree I really watched for Micah, Grant, and Matt and now I just have Matt lol
Look up Hecz from Optic Gaming. If he’s a partner like Kendrick stated, you’ll get all the insight you need to understand the what, when’s and why’s.
@Arthas Menethil love Bob does sports. Much more relatable to my golf game lol
You are a great interviewer. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Matt Kendrick seems like a really nice guy and a very smart business person.
I came into this video with the same expectations Mr Short Game had of the Good Good Putter; I thought I was really going to dislike Matt, and to my surprise he’s an absolute treat. Never judge a book by its cover. Cheers!!!
JMO, Grant is a Christian and a family man. He doesn't want to spend 1-2 weeks of every month away from his bride to be, he's obviously nuts about her. Further, if you've watched a lot of his GM video appearances, he's made it plain many times that he wanted to go back to Florida. It's obvious he loves his parents dearly, and they're getting up there in age. On top of that, most of the Good Good guys live like they're in a college dorm, and Grant's a quiet family guy. That would create a divide with Garrett, that would only grow with time.
This was really great and well done. Thank you! And thank you Matt for being so open about everything. Sucks Grant and Micah left but I think they will be just fine.
Such a great interview..Mr. SG, getting the exclusive that we all needed to hear 💯. Was not expecting it to be so involved
Great content Matt. This has to be one of the most insightful interviews on golf this year. Appreciate the candid conversation. Keep it up!
Great interview!
MSG to the rescue. Excellent interview. You are the hero we didn’t know we needed today
Until now, I didn't think of a RUclips channel as a "business or cooperation"... But WOW this is crazy awesome! What a great Brand you guys created! Still watching! Good Good, Grant, and Micah. I support them all!
First of all, great interview Matt (Mr Short Game) !! Matt Kendrick seems to be quite an opportunist and a savvy business man. From this interview it appears he genuinely cares deeply for his Good Good brand and more so for the guys he's in business with (Garrett and the guys). This was a very smart PR move to come onto this podcast to air the Good Good side of the story. Well done Gents
Everyone who is just learning that GoodGood is owned by a bigger company has been living under a rock. Also Matt was very successful before he Invested in this group.
This was fantastic. All you need to know right here in this hour. Fantastic job Mr Fisher and Matt Kendrick seems to be a boss I wouldn’t mind working for.
Matt...You asked the right questions and more importantly you let Kendrick talk without interrupting ...sometimes silence can be a good thing.
I didn’t know much about Matt from Good Good prior to this interview. I can see why people want to work for him. Really good interview.
This was an excellent interview, well done! Props to the CEO for being as open as possible about it.
Nice to finally get the behind the scenes understanding of Good Good now that the CEO and everyone else is on the damage control circuit!
I am so amazed that GOOD GOOD is only a few years old. Stunned. Congrats on that. Grant got on a fast moving train and it might not be heading in the direction he wants to head now. LLC is tricky but so glad they all have contracts that keep it professional.
Great job asking the pressing questions. But props to him for being open. Wish nothing but the best for Micah, Grant, and Good Good moving forward.
Crazy to hear you bring this up but it is so true, I rarely watch professional golf but I've watched every GG video, I feel like I know the guys and relate so well with them, and I hardly know a thing about any professional!
Awesome interview. Felt very honest and we got a good amount of answers. Definitely the best piece of information on the situation and the entire company we got. Guess we now wait for Jan 3. to see what that big thing is.
It’s definitely golf clubs
@@ryanhedlund6040 that would be a bit of a let down considering he already talked about a new putter coming out in spring and the old one getting back in stock in january and he explained how those going to sell out within 5min and i assume it wouldn't be different with a full set. but it would make sense with the grant situation and his mizuno deal which he would have to resign from when GG brings out a full set.
@@sebimaurer yeah it would but to me it makes the most sense and good on grant for sticking with mizuno but it’ll be cool to see if they do come out with clubs
@@ryanhedlund6040 They should stick to putters, haha who’s gonna forge their irons?
@@TH-wp7ye no clue lol but we will see if they actually make clubs
Absolutely perfect interview man I’ve seen your videos before but you definitely earned a subscription from me today. Just a great job. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great questions! All questions I had were answered! Cant believe good good podcast couldn’t think of these questions to answers. Thank you
Great interview, don’t hold back and ask the tough questions. I’m a bigger fan of Good Good after this interview. Awesome job Matt and Mr Short Game.
This was one excellent interview! Great job, Matt!
Good interview. Things that could never be talked about on GoodGood but needed to be out there to keep people happy 👍
So you’re telling me this is like the golf version of the Back Street Boys? Remember how they were discovered and funded by that record producer and how well that turned out? 😂
They are actually touring again right now.
yeah but instead of making hit records, they gonna make mediocre golf clubs!
@@ynkybomber I know! I think that’s why I remembered about that situation because I saw they were touring lol.
I’m only messing though, I’m a avid good good subscriber and only wish them the best. It was interesting to learn about how the brand works behind the scenes.
@@CAxALLDAY there's a video out there where the Good Good putter is tested against an Evnroll, and it actually does quite well.
great show, would love to see you interviewing other youtubers and pros as well. You come off as knowledgeable and creditable. You could also collaborate with the CEO of Good Good with your ideas I believe he is interested in what your new ideas are. The future is looking bright. Love your shows.
Matt thank you for actually sitting and putting out a video that actually says something and gives us something. instead of being like most of these fools that drop videos and waste out time for an hour saying nothing.
Amazing interview. Definitely sheds a whole new light on Good Good. Happy to see the ship is being steered by someone like Matt. Hoping he and Garrett can work their magic and get the group back on track. Wonderful interview.
Really great and interesting interview. The most interesting revelation by Mr Kendrick to me: that Grant never fully explained his reasons for leaving even behind the scenes to the Good Good guys. I fully understood why he wouldn't divulge that info publicly, but to obfuscate and tap-dance around the reasoning even when in closed doors with the guys...that's just wild. It makes it even more understandable why the guys were so shocked and still reeling from Grant's decision when they did the pod. And for the record, I'm not hating on Grant here, he didn't do anything criminal or illegal, people should relax. These things happen in business all the time. But it's still really weird how it unfolded.
What minute did they talk about this.
@@andrewjordan4539 about 25:25
Seems it was implied that Grant wasn’t willing to a sell-out his morals to whatever is happening on Jan 3rd. His commitment to his family, his belief, or contracts with another brand are more important than money
The thing is, Grant is not allowed to talk about what happened and Matt apparently is. So Matt and to an extent the GG guys can almost say whatever they want about it and Grant probably won't legally be allowed to defend himself. Definitely more to the story and it probably doesn't really make GoodGood look great, hence why there's been so much quicker of a response to cover their asses when Grant left vs when Micah left.
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 Like I said, I understand fully the legal angle of why Grant can't elaborate his reasonings publicly. I specifically highlighted the fact that even privately he wouldn't elaborate his reasonings. Besides, what does GG have to "cover their asses" for? They haven't done anything wrong here as far as I understand. They just lost an employee who wanted to go somewhere else. Happens all the time in business.
This was great! I would definitely tune into this content every time if you add this to the channel. A golf youtuber sitting down with other golf youtubers and talking youtube golf seems like something that's needed to help expand content!
Everything in this interview made perfect sense and was well explained. I would be very surprised to see GG come out with full sets of clubs in January but maybe wedges leading to more down the road.
I didn't even know about, Matt. Good to see the brains behind the operation. You guys have a great thing going. I'm certain you'll power right through the current adversity.
"I don't even get a paycheck"
Nice! This guy is running this thing outta the goodness of his heart... Obviously not true, but that's how he sounds saying that.
That portion of the interview is what’s making me not want to continue watching good good. Those of us who know the corporate bs clown talk know exactly what he’s trying to do by saying that.
No matter what big deals come your way, it does you no good if people don't want to watch. The chemistry of those six with Micah and Grant was magic. Now the magic is gone. You shouldn't have let them go. GG is now going to limp along trying not to lose viewers rather than growing like it was since 2020. Ichabod.
As sad as it is I totally agree and deep down I think they know it’s a mistake.
The Emperor doesn’t know he doesn’t have any clothes on.
Great interview. I'm nearly 43 and watch all of their content. Wish them the best.
Excellent exclusive, Matt (Mr. Short Game)! Way to go. Everyone out there is just guessing about GG and how they operate, and you go out and get the CEO to open up on your show. Very smart. Great interview. Lots of good good insight. Congratulations.
With Kendrick as CEO and Hector as a partner, I can no longer support Good Good. I hope Garrett keeps GM away from them. Grant and Micah were right to leave. Unbelievable
Can you explain why? I genuinely don’t understand.
@@Golfingly Matt Kendrick is an investor. So at the bit where he stated “I don’t get a check out of this”, it’s because he owns a large stake of good good and makes complete bank off of that. It’s no different than Elon Musk, Elon (Matt Kendrick) does not write himself a check, but his wallet (his investments) explodes in growth where any profit in good good occurs. Kendrick wants to make good good like a titleist or callaway, so all clubs, balls, bags, you name it. Doing that would mean that all the guys would have to cut ties with their current sponsors, like Garrett with Mizuno. The problem that can arise here with the guys is that while Good Good continues growing in the golf market, Kendrick nets the majority of the profit. This also clamps them all to the brand completely, and for guys like Grant, who loves the game of golf for fun, this corporate mess is probably the last thing he wanted to get stuck in. He would have zero freedom.
Very curious to understand what % shareholder Matt is in the company. Having a background in start ups I wouldn’t be surprised if the Good Good team gave up considerable amount of control for initial investment by Matt which resulted in Grant ultimately leaving.
Grant came in after Matt was already the CEO, so he knew the decision-making process before he signed up with the GG team. Apparently no one knows exactly why Grant decided to depart and by all accounts they wanted him to stay. Good luck to both.
This was an awesome interview and greatly appreciated. Huge thank you to Matt and a special appreciation for Matt for taking the time to share and shed more light. Been loving the GG content.
It's so interesting that they're actually a golf apparel and equipment company using RUclips as the advertising platform without being in your face about it.
So much respect for Matt bringing this GoodGood creation to life, thank you. Garret has this incredible aura about him and my kids just love watching all his videos. Every company stumbles along the way, they will bounce back and continue to put out some great content
Got it. Grant has committed to Mizuno and made promises to stick with them. GG tells Grant that he needs to end his partnership in Jan as it will be a competing brand and Grant says no.
