Introduction Into Pickleball Featuring Special Guests

What this episode covers

Join Ricky and Sean as they talk with two very knowledgeable men in the field of Pickleball! Today's first guest is Keal Blache. He currrently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio and is an avid pickleball player with a tennis background. Keal works for vivenu as VP of Partnerships and has experience in sports technology, sport business, and marketing/branding. His girlfriend, Kelsey Matthews, is also a professional pickleball player and competes in the pro tour events! Our second guest is Adam Painter. He is also a Cincinnati local and is the Owner and Operator of ACES Pickleball + Kitchen in Cincinnati! ACES Pickleball + Kitchen is a social experience with 5 pro-level indoor courts and 6 pro-level outdoor courts surrounded by a full service restaurant and bar as well as other yard games, firepits and TVs. Instead of needing to go to a facility and then finding a place to eat and drink afterwards, ACES has everything you could need right there in one facility. In addition to his involvement in the business of Pickleball, Adam is a pickler himself and competes in tournaments and as a member of the Columbus Hotshots in the NPL! In addition to hearing both Adam and Keal's stories, we hear about the different ways to get involved in pickleball, what makes the sport so popular, and why it has grown into such a strong community across the US in the past few years. If you have ever had interest in Pickleball, this is the episode for you! Also, please check out the links for each of our guests and if you are in the Cincinnati area, we highly recommend checking out ACES Pickleball + Kitchen!
