Season 26, Episode 10 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby SchindlerSummaryIn this episode of the GoTennis! Podcast, Daren Hornig shares his journey from real estate to the world of racket sports, particularly through his acquisition of the Port Washington Tennis Academy. He discusses the evolution of the academy and the introduction of the Courtsapp, designed to enhance court booking efficiency for players and facility owners alike.
