Ep 151 Teed Up For Success with Ken Burns,  Founder of Bigga Balls

from Mission CTRL · host Peralta Design

If you’re a golf fan and love entrepreneurial startup stories with unexpected plot twists, we’ve got you covered. This week on MissionCTRL, Ramon and the PD Flight Crew are joined by Ken Burns, founder of Bigga Balls, and Joe Ward, the company's Digital Marketing Manager. Burns started as a caddy at 12 and had his sights set on being a rock star but eventually joined the family construction business.  Burns Construction, founded by his dad, Ken Sr., in 1957 started as a residential paving company, but has since expanded its services to include utility companies and municipalities under Ken Jr’s leadership.  So how does someone with a background in construction pave a path into entrepreneurship and launch his very own golf brand? Ramon and the PD Flight Crew had plenty of questions, which Ken and Joe were eager to answer. Burns is a man with a grand vision and knows how to seize opportunities when they present themselves. To say Ken is a “Bigga Thinka” is an understatement! Tune in to also hear how Ken turned a simple request to park a food truck in the Burns Construction parking lot into the revitalization of the Cricket Car Hop, a Stratford community staple since 1949. This entrepreneurial journey is sure to inspire you to pull out the driver and go for the green! . . . Find Mission CTRL on Anchor, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and our website.
