Episode 197: David Coggins & the Art of the Pursuit
Author and essayist David Coggins has long explored the rituals that shape a life well lived. In his book The Optimist, he turns that focus to fly fishing, uncovering lessons in patience, humility, and craft that echo the same challenges found in golf. In this thoughtful conversation with host Tom Coyne, Coggins reflects on why the best days on the water—and the course—rarely come down to results, but to the time spent outside, learning and improving. Together, they wander through Scotland’s rivers and fairways, the art of slowing down, and the satisfaction of being a perpetual student in a pursuit that resists mastery.
