EP193: Bootstrapping a Christchurch Mini Golf Business (Lucas Devotion)

In this episode, David sits down with Lucas, the co-founder of Fillin’ Holes, a bold new mini golf venture transforming an abandoned lot in Christchurch’s city centre into a vibrant community space.

Lucas opens up about the chaotic journey of building a business from the ground up—literally. From clearing earthquake-ravaged land with a digger he had to learn to drive, to navigating social media growth and local sponsorships, his story is a gritty blend of creativity, resilience, and community spirit. The two also dive into mindset challenges, fears of success, and what it means to rebuild not just structures, but a city’s soul.

If you’re into underdog stories, social impact, or just want a refreshing take on what it takes to make something from nothing—this one’s for you.
