Colin Weston, Founder and Owner of ModSport Media
Co-Host of The ModGolf Podcast
Colin was motivated to create and launch The ModGolf Podcast in May 2017 as a response to the gap in the media landscape, as no one was showcasing the entrepreneurs and innovators who were reshaping the golf industry.
His previous ventures as founding partner at REVIVER Sport Entertainment and Startup Vancouver, along with his 20+ years of experience in the architectural profession with a focus on sport venue/event design has provided Colin with the necessary expertise, relationships and skills to become a thought leader in the sport tech, design and entertainment space. Colin loves being part of the community-building process, and building a vibrant community around the future of golf is his inspiration for The ModGolf Podcast and YouTube channel.
Over the years Colin has spoken at and moderated several golf industry and business leadership events. Contact him by email if you would like to discuss the possibility of Colin sharing his stories and insights at your next conference or educational series. Colin also offers consulting, coaching and advisory services in the sport media, design, event, sustainability and entertainment sectors and he welcomes the opportunity to explore working with you.
