In this fun and unusual episode, they dive into all things pickleball, including Transworld’s sponsorship of its official governing body, USA Pickleball, and find out what made Erin so obsessed with it that she wrote a book about it! You’ll also learn more about the rules of this challenging and inclusive sport, how to get started with buying pickleball equipment, and where Erin sees the sport going in the future. Finally, the “pickleball evangelist” herself shares some words of wisdom for anyone who wants to pick up a pickleball paddle. Thanks for tuning in!

Listing of the Week:

Charles Daucourt presents a wonderful opportunity to own an incredible premier outdoor lighting company in Hampton Roads, Virginia. This business has been a household name in the Hampton Roads community for over 20 years! With a revenue of $1 million, this listing offers the buyer an amazing asking price of just $850,000. This is truly a great deal! For more information, email Charles at [e-mail] or call him at [phone].

Deal of the Week:

Charles Daucourt recently sold a kitchen and bath business with three locations. In September 2023, the seller was not ready to sell but in January 2024, he called Charles back and signed with him. It took about eight months to sell the business for $2 million and it is doing $4 million in revenue. Charles found the perfect local buyer and used a mixture of SBA loans and seller financing to secure this opportunity. To learn more, email Charles at [e-mail] or call him at [phone].
