What golf teaches investors about capital, concentration and staying power

A conversation on sport, wealth and global living, exploring how high-performance principles shape long-term capital and a well-lived life.
David Clark

Koda Capital

David Clark is joined by Jim Rohrstaff of Legacy Partners for a wide-ranging conversation that sits at the intersection of elite sport, long-term capital stewardship, and global lifestyle investing.
From his early years in the US Midwest to building a career that spans golf, business leadership, and international living, Jim shares how the principles that underpin high performance in sport - discipline, patience, risk management and alignment of incentives - translate directly into managing wealth over decades.
For high-net-worth families, this episode goes beyond golf. It explores how passion assets, global mobility, and lifestyle decisions increasingly shape investment structures, portfolio construction, and intergenerational planning. Jim also reflects on the importance of community, access, and networks - intangibles that often define real wealth but rarely appear on a balance sheet.
This is a thoughtful discussion for investors who view wealth not simply as a number, but as a platform for living life with fulfillment and long-term freedom, drawing lessons from sport, business, and life that resonate well beyond the fairway.
