In this episode, I talk with Dale Young, cofounder of Six Zero. We take a journey down the vortex of Six Zero's explosive growth in the pickleball paddle market.

As a new entrant to the market, Dale accidentally became the founder of a highly successful pickleball brand for something that was only meant to be a hobby.

We discuss Dale's work in Africa before pickleball, innovations that he has brought to the paddle, and thoughts and plans for the future of pickleball and paddle technology.

This is a super interesting discussion from the cofounder of one of the fastest-growing brands in pickleball. Enjoy the ride!
