Blazing Paddles - A Pickleball Podcast
Join us, John and Karen, for a married couple's take on Pickleball. Avoid "Pickleball Divorce," saddle up and have a cocktail, have a laugh, and enjoy guests and influencers in this unbelievable explosion of a sport the likes of which we've never seen.
Let's talk about the impact pickleball is having on our culture. From Boomers to Zoomers, every generation is discovering a new passion. A game that wasn't on the map three years ago now has millionaires playing, billionaires jousting, and people scrambling for some piece of the pickleball pie.
Put your ears on and have a listen, you'll be glad you did.

Storytelling with Jerome Deroy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Everybody loves a good story, right? We especially love stories that come from a place of authenticity and sincerity. Jerome Duroy (connect with Jerome!) knows all about this - his company, Narativ, helps companies realize the power of storytelling. While it seems a natural fit for sales and marketing externally, storytelling is equally important (and effective) when used in-house.
Recruiting, onboarding, retaining - "rehiring" your current employees by crafting stories to define your vision that far exceed the often-times generic statements we place in our formal mission statements. Using the "MVP" approach (memorable, vulnerable, personal), master storytellers can connect with their teams on a different level.
Now, in a post-pandemic environment, the war for talent is more competitive than ever. At some point money and benefits no longer become an important differentiator. What is your origin story? What makes your company uniquely your company? It's cliche, but what is your "secret sauce?" Most importantly, what stories resonate throughout your organization like a common thread of understanding? With employees working predominantly in remote environments, stories are the way to build and retain teams.
So get your ears on and have a listen...you can also see the interview here.
