Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who makes this podcast what it is! To my hardworking, beautiful, talented mom, thank you for being the heart behind it all. You have a way of making everyone feel included, whether it’s through the USLPL League, the MYEM podcast, or just the way you show up for the people around you every single day. Giving people content to enjoy every week takes real hard work, dedication, and consistency, and you do it all while giving so much of yourself to others. This podcast truly wouldn’t be anything without you, and I’m so lucky to call you my mom🫶🏻

This is NOT your average pickleball facility.

I got an exclusive tour of ElevenO Pickleball at Patriot Place — right outside Gillette Stadium — with CEO and founder Jodi Cullity, and honestly? Game. Changed.

🏓 Championship courts
🍸 A full bar + food that actually slaps
🎤 Podcast studio & private event spaces (coming soon)
🥃 Speakeasy vibes in the works? Very possible!
🌎 Global event partnerships in the works

But here's what hit different — it's not just a place to play. It's a destination. A community. An experience.

Pickleball culture just leveled up. 👀

If you think pickleball is just courts and competition… think again.

I recently sat down with Jodi Cullity, founder of Eleveno Pickleball in Foxborough, MA—and what she’s building is truly something special.

From the moment you walk in, it feels like more than a facility. It’s an experience. A place where sports, community, food, and entertainment all come together.

We talked about:
✔️ Her vision for Eleveno
✔️ The importance of community in pickleball
✔️ Designing a space people WANT to stay in
✔️ What’s next (and trust me… it’s exciting)

Take a listen and see why ElevenO is redefining the game.
