271. Santiago Gomez, Founder & CEO of Padel Haus

Today, I'm joined by Santiago Gomez, founder & CEO of Padel
Haus.


After a successful career as a restaurateur, Santiago channeled
his Mexican heritage to launch Padel Haus — turning his childhood
love for the game into a thriving NYC membership club.


In this episode, we discuss the company’s luxury social sports
experience and expansion plans.


We also cover:


• Padel’s explosive growth
• Economics of membership clubs
• The future of racket sports in the US
