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
