IdeaDrop Podcast

Have you been struck by the Pickleball craze that's sweeping the nation? We sure have, and our latest chat is all about riding the wave of this sport's explosive growth. With the wisdom of Tito Machado, CEO of a trailblazing predictive analytics rating system, we delve into how this simple game is creating complex opportunities. Tito walks us through his leap from Canary Islands aficionado to a central figure in the sport's competitive scene, and we dig into why Pickleball has become more than just a pastime—it's a thriving community ripe for the ambitious.

Caught between a laugh and a competitive rally, our conversation serves up a mix of personal tales and industry insights. We reminisce about rubbing elbows with tennis royalty like Andre Agassi and how such experiences inform our view of the sports world. The magnetism of Pickleball is undeniable, whether you're a newcomer eager to join in on the fun or an industry insider spotting the next big trend. Our episode peels back the layers of what makes a player more than just a number with the Dupre rating system, and how that's changing the game for clubs and players alike.

Finally, we volley over to the business end, debating the potential gold mines within Pickleball's expanding market. From paddles to the surprisingly profitable pickleballs themselves, we examine the economic spikes and strategies that could play out for entrepreneurs and enthusiasts alike. Join us as we swing through the community and culture of Pickleball, and maybe, just maybe, you'll be inspired to grab a paddle and join the legion of fans making this sport a lifestyle.

In this episode, Dustin and Kendall discuss their thoughts on the Israel / Palestine and Russia / Ukraine conflicts, the geopolitical ramifications of war, and how these factors affect global commerce as a whole. 

And as usual, in traditional IdeaDrop style, they round things out with your weekly dose of out-of-the-box business ideas, from wacky to lucrative - including Ikea for Kids, Kitty Golf, Picklebets, and more. 

In this episode Dustin and Kendall will share some great ideas, from Parenting apps, to Podcasts, to an establishment that is the "Top Golf" for Pickle Ball lovers.
