Jon Borrill — Business · Golf

Jon Borrill

"Jon Borrill creates ideas, stories, and experiences across business, golf, and live theatre."

For most of my career, I ran on left-brain fuel — finance, systems and business change across three continents and six countries. Then came a shift, and the right brain finally got its turn. Writing, filmmaking, music, live theatre. None of it planned. One project simply opened the door to the next. And so a creative journey began.

I live in Vancouver with my wife Roisin. Our four kids are currently out exploring the world.

Driving Business

Ideas and conversations
for navigating change.

Buy on Amazon.com ↗ Buy on Amazon.ca ↗

A series of books and conversations designed to help people think clearly, adapt well, and make better decisions in a changing world.

The world is being transformed again — this time by AI. It’s Still Your Song is a five-book series built around a framework that has always worked — analyse clearly, weigh your options honestly, make the call, and keep moving. If you bring your ideas and thoughts to AI it will amplify them, but they are still your ideas. Hence the metaphor: “It’s Still Your Song.”

For all other countries — change the country to your home country before buying.

Driving Business
Conversations

Casual, unstructured conversations filmed in a car. No agenda, no teleprompter, no green room. Just a business person, a moving vehicle, and an honest conversation. Think Carpool Karaoke — without the singing.

The first conversations are available now, with more planned.

Bogart Golf

Story-driven golf
entertainment.

Bogart is the golfer every golfer recognises — optimistic, frustrated, funny, and always learning. Explore the books, watch the trailer, and step into the story.

Why You Suck at Golf
The Movie

A feature-length golf comedy filmed during COVID. Produced by and starring Jon Borrill as Bogart — a hapless golfer doing everything wrong but still fighting to save his course. Written and directed by Clive Scarff.

Funny, warm, and entirely relatable to anyone who has ever stood on a first tee and wondered what they were thinking.

The Book Series

Learn Golf with Bogart

Laugh along to Bogart’s usual antics on the course — then be reassured when Ray, Bogart’s long-suffering coach, takes over and beautifully illustrates the how-tos of golf’s most sought-after skills. Putting, chipping and pitching, bunker shots, driving — each one a full lesson hidden inside a comedy. And if that’s not enough, there’s the Bogart Golf Joke Book and even a Bogart Cookbook for when things go wrong at the 19th.

Live Theatre

We Had It All
(Until I Screwed It Up)

In a world increasingly experienced through screens, this show brings people together for something live, unpredictable and shared. A marriage unravels, three women take the spotlight, and the audience helps decide what happens next.

A live musical experience
with audience participation at its heart.

Co-written with long-time collaborator David L Thomas, four years in the making. What began as a songwriting partnership grew into something considerably more ambitious.

The story follows Jeff, whose birthday party takes an unexpected turn when his wife, his girlfriend — who arrives from inside a birthday cake — and his college sweetheart all find themselves in the same room at the same time.

First production: Vancouver, late 2027

Co-written with David L Thomas

Four years in the making
