#19 Scottie Scheffler, Satisfaction, and the Problem with Chasing Success

Even before world #1 golfer Scottie Scheffler won the 2025 British Open, he made headlines for his surprising take on winning. “The satisfaction doesn’t last long,” he said.

In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, productivity coach Chris LeBrun unpacks Scheffler’s viral comments and explores how they reflect a deeper truth about the limits of professional success. From million-dollar tournaments to 11th-hour fundraising deadlines, Chris shares his own experience with the short-lived high of achievement—and how gratitude, balance, and purpose-driven goals offer something more lasting.

You’ll learn:

• Why professional success alone won’t fulfill you
• What Scottie Scheffler understands about goals that most people don’t
• The hidden emotional trap of always chasing the “next” milestone
• How to build a balanced life using Wholistic Productivity principles
