Eric Cogorno is a golf instructor and YouTube creator with nearly 250,000 subscribers today. His golf instruction videos have reached millions, but here's not just here to talk about golf with me. We ended up sharing a bunch of similarities in our pursuits of entrepreneurship, health, fitness, personal development, reading, and more, including the story behind growing his YouTube from 0 to become one of the most popular golf instruction channels on YouTube in a very crowded niche.

Eric launched cogornogolf.com in 2018 and since then he's been on a mission to make world-class golf instruction available to everyone and – through the process – create the biggest and best online golf school in the world. Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley, PA, Eric was a scratch golfer by the age of 15. He golfed throughout high school and while attending Lehigh University. Eric has been featured on Forbes.com and was voted as a Golf Digest Best In State Teacher.
