Diadem was founded in 2015 with a single goal in mind - develop the most innovative, high-quality tennis products in the world to help players maximize their performance. We found that the tennis industry had become stagnant, with very few brands that were challenging the status quo. With a team made up of former collegiate and professional players and coaches, Diadem set out to develop new and exciting products that catered to players of all levels looking to elevate their game.

Developed with performance in mind, each of our paddles has been carefully crafted for a specific type of playing style. Whether your game commands power and spin, or precision and control, we'll have the best option to help take your game to the next level.

My guest in this episode was Aubri Steele, founder of Civile. She talks about building her team which consists of people coming from big brands like Hurley and Nike, how being an educator by trade has formed her leadership approach, how her morals and outlook on life align with the brand and the story they want to tell, and founding a company when the world felt unstable. Quitting her job, finding herself after losing her father, and taking that leap.

Civile - Our Story
Everyone agrees, 2020 was an incredibly difficult year. The part I found the most challenging was being a parent amid the divisive sentiments of our country. It felt impossible to stand firmly behind the beliefs on which I was raised. The instructions of our own parents to, “play nicely” seemed distant aspirations, at best. How could we possibly ask this of our children when the world-at-large seemed to be slipping ever so swiftly into a pattern where manners didn’t matter and rigidity of beliefs exacerbated controversy, inappropriate behavior, and a seemingly infectious absence of empathy.

This is not a political statement, this is a reflection of the human experience. As a human race, we seemed to have lost our way. As a parent, this was a heartbreaking glimpse into a future I did not want for my children.

I interview Ryan Cohen, co-founder of Volair Pickleball, pickleball gear brand co-founded with pro Julian Arnold. Having known Julian since high school and always finding himself generating ideas and pursuing them, it was a no-brainer that he'd eventually start a business in the pickleball space, especially after falling in love with it in 2020. He talks about how his business acumen is translating to finding opportunities in pickleball, resulting in improved management and treatment of players and developing the highest commission ambassador program.

KitchPickleball.com launched in 2016 at the US Open Pickleball Championships as a start up apparel brand in what was then the growing sport of pickleball. Through key partnerships with other organizations within the sport, professional and amateur players we would grow the Kitch brand nationwide and help grow the sport of pickleball. Today, we stand tall as a pioneering brand in the pickleball apparel industry, and have launched brand extensions that service many facets of the sport in different ways. Our mission is to grow the sport of pickleball, one t-shirt at a time, and bring new and fresh eyes to the fastest growing sport on the planet.
