We were lucky to catch up with Dylan Thomas recently and have shared our conversation below.

Dylan, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?

I love to compete and I love sports. After leaving college & relocating to a brand new city, I knew I needed to keep myself busy by finding leagues to play in. So, with a quick google search, and a few bucks, I joined a sand volleyball league, a basketball league, a flag football league, a kickball league and even a billiards league. Why could I not find a golf league? I was new to the community in Scottsdale and I love to golf, but I couldn’t afford a $20k membership fee at a club in North Scottsdale, and I couldn’t commit to a Tuesday night 4pm men’s league. It just wasn’t viable and there wasn’t a way for me to compete recreationally in one of my favorite sports, in one of the single most popular cities to play it in!

Why not change that? Linx League was born out of a discussion on the golf course about the difficulties I just described. Golf is an incredible and growing market, yet the offerings for recreational play are limited. Linx introduces exactly that in a manner that’s never been seen before through an application. We provide flexibility and competition that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Dylan, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and have placed a lot of value on autonomy and uncapped income in my sales career. The reality, however, is that if you truly want to build time and financial freedom, you have to do it on your own accord. This solution that we provide through Linx League is an incredible shift from the norm, but this business is not about Golf. It’s about winning.

Everyone has an unforgettable win. Maybe it was a youth basketball championship that you brought home as the underdog? Maybe it was a big sales pitch you nailed with pressure looming? Perhaps it was graduating with honors, being offered a job on the first interview, or seeing your child for the first time? As humans, we love to celebrate wins, big and small.

What if we could create that joy of your unforgettable win, over and over again? With Linx League, we plan to lean in on and reinvigorate that very competitive spirit that results in celebrations we won’t soon forget.

Linx League is about much more than golf. It’s about the human spirit, it’s about connection, and it’s about creating memories that we brag about for a lifetime.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Linx League was born on a napkin, like many incredible ideas. From there, I added a note in my iPhone and would wake up in a scramble in the middle of the night with a new idea for it. I knew this was something huge, my best idea, because I would dream about it, or simply wouldn’t be able to sleep because of it. That notepad turned into a word document business plan. The business plan turned into financial forecasting tools. And all of that culminated in 3 long years of striking out time after time with investors, developers, brand ambassadors and more. Finally, the breakthrough came, thanks to a little relationship capital, and perhaps some luck (created by said resilience). I was given an opportunity to pitch on what is the Shark Tank of the tech world. We are now partnered with Grant Cardone, a billionaire business mogul, and the 10x Tech Incubator, to bring Linx League to life.

Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?

Early on in Facebook’s growth, they established a principle that would forever change their trajectory. Zuckerberg knew that even great ideas are fleeting if your users don’t become loyalists. “Uber”, “Jeep”, “Facebook” – these are not just names of businesses, but verbs. The question is not necessarily ‘How do we reach a massive audience?’, it’s ‘How do we keep a massive audience?’

The Facebook principle was ‘7 friends’. Once a new user has 7 friends, Facebook has them locked in. They become a loyalist. ‘Facebook me’ becomes a verb.

A similar principle applies for us. Our promise is to provide connection, flexibility, and competition. Those core competencies carry us forward, create brand loyalty & create lifetime clients. We retain our focus on those competencies by being driven by our ‘Why’. Linx League is about creating wins for our users, and we will see our wins as a business from there.
