Today's Guest:
President of Jack Porter Inc. & Former Professional Golfer- Christina Harrell
Our guest today is a 1998 Furman University graduate and former golf student-athlete who has truly turned her passion for sports into a thriving career—though not quite in the way she had originally imagined. She was a professional golfer on the Symetra Tour for five years before transitioning into a successful business owner. She now leads an award-winning design and build firm based in Greenville, SC, specializing in experiential branding for college athletic programs and top-level businesses. The firm Jack Porter, which has been in operation for over 10 years, has worked with some of the nation’s top Division 1 programs, including Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami, and Georgia. They focus on creating immersive, branded experiences that bring organizations' unique stories to life within their facilities.
Her journey from the fairways of professional golf to the world of business and branding is a testament to the power of adaptability, strategic thinking, and a love for storytelling. She has built a company that is shaping the way college athletics are experienced, using design to unlock engaged fandom, deepen emotional connections, and drive growth for her clients.
With a background in both business and philosophy, combined with her experience as a Division 1 athlete, she has a unique ability to understand the needs of organizations and help them elevate their cultures and achieve their goals through thoughtful, innovative design. As a leader, she is committed to mentoring others and advocating for female entrepreneurship while continuing to drive her firm’s success.
