Blake Renaud, CEO and founder of PicklePlay, took the opportunity and risk to leverage technology in an industry that has otherwise chosen to neglect it. It has paid off as her app has grown to 50,000 users, helping connect individuals of all experience levels. She talks about building out her team which started with folks overseas but has now found a home in the US. We hear about her experience as a female founder and the importance of continuing to believe in your pursuit despite what people will tell you. Her determination has led to partnerships with the likes of players and personalities such as Tyson McMuffin.
