SPEAKER_01 0:00

And I said to myself after that, I'll never play with a beginner again. One pickleball habit that drives you crazy. People who hit the ball when it's going out. It's not just about making shots, it's positioning yourself in the right spot right in the court. What's something people don't know about you?

SPEAKER_00 0:18

SPEAKER_00 1:27

They finally did it, and the parade was phenomenal. We watched it on TV. We couldn't get there because we were busy playing pickleball, but we knew that it was destiny to happen. And here's to the New York Knicks. To the New York Knicks, absolutely. Maybe one day chill will be the official beer of the New York Knicks.

Exactly. I am really looking forward to it. You know, again, this is a big weekend. We have Father's Day tomorrow. So we we have our Sunday uh pickleball morning, which I'm really excited by. Yeah, and the weather's warm, and uh, I couldn't think of a better place to do it than out here. I mean, I I love the creativity, creativity from uh our director, producer, whatever you want to call her, uh Ellie Spielberg.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

That's her name, and she's just as good as Steven Spielberg, I'm telling you. She is good, she is good, and she's building a career here.

I'm very excited about having this guy on, I'll tell you that. Oh, totally, really nice gentleman. Happy to be here. Yes, you're our first guest, Premier. It's an honor.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

And see, I might have a drinking problem, so he because he might have a drinking problem, we gave him some water. No, I have a dinking problem. A dinking problem, I'm sorry. Dave has a skincare business. We play pickleball with him. So that's the objective of the show to have people run that own their own business or want to promote their business. So we're gonna get right to it. So the most important thing, how did you get first how did you get started playing pickleball?

SPEAKER_01 3:30

Uh my cousins, Danny and Susan, now shout out to them. Uh, like four years ago, they introduced me to pickleball, and I played with them four years ago. And after one month, it really, for me, it was something that I took right away. You know, because I'm an ex-tennis player. Uh unfortunately, I couldn't continue because of injuries. Um, my back totally went out, and I said it wasn't worth it, and I totally gave it up. And then last year in March, you know, I said I was bored, I was feeling, you know, like I needed to be active and do something, and I got back onto the court again, and I said, you know what, I love it. And you know, I was always very competitive from the very beginning, and uh from there I just continued, you know. Uh it wasn't uh it was hard for me at the very beginning because I had something called the yips, where I couldn't hit up my forehand. Really? No, it was horrible. It was it was it was like I was like praying, don't hit it to my forehand, you know. And I remember playing with somebody and she gave me the face that I give a lot of people now, you know. And uh you know, you know, she rolling the eyes, you know. But she was really, really nice, and I said, Look, remember me in a few months. I'm gonna be a different player. So you worked through your injuries and I just I needed the repetition, you know, and it was a lot, I think a lot of it was mental, but I used to go before we used to play, I used to go outside to a backyard and hit off a wall. Wow like I went to a school and I hit off to a wall before we had open play because I don't want to embarrass myself, you know? And like and like and then uh and then after that, I think it was all mental, you know.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

And uh now you're excelling in the game and and you were dubbed Diamond Dave. I mean, that's your name. Everybody knows you as that, D D. Yeah, so I don't know how much of a diamond. You're a popular guy out there. You are so there goes our sign.

SPEAKER_02 5:26

Am I gonna get hit by lightning now or something? Okay. Funniest things that ever happened to you on a pickleball court. Can you recall anything funny?

SPEAKER_01 5:34

I uh yeah, I remember something, I don't think it was that funny. Um I was playing with somebody who was relatively a beginner, and I decided to play with him because I was asked to. And we were playing, and I was at the kitchen line, and he was uh back, and there was a lob hit over my head, which I knew it was going out. Okay. I went out to just like get the ball because I knew it was out. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, I see this guy take a full swing and barely hit my almost hit my head right in the face, you know? And I said to myself, after that, I'll never play with a beginner again. You know, it wasn't it wasn't worth it, you know. And he's cracking up, he's like, ah, it's so funny. I'm like, it really wasn't that funny, you know. But um, yeah, that was pretty much the the funniest thing that happened.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

You would have needed a lot of skincare then. There would have been no skincare that would have taken that. Yeah. I got you. Well, thank God you're okay. Yes, definitely see. No more beginners.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

Yeah, no more beginners. So, what's one one pickleball habit that drives you crazy? Oh boy. I can go one, one, just one.

SPEAKER_01 6:38

People who hit the ball when it's going out.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

Ah, okay. There we go.

SPEAKER_01 6:42

Okay, when you know the ball's going out, but it's private self-control.

SPEAKER_02 6:46

But it's hard. I mean, there's we all we all hit the ball when it could accidentally go. It's we hit the ball by mistake. Sometimes it's impulsive, it's magnetic. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 6:56

I understand what you're saying. Listen, if it's above your above your shoulders and it's going at a certain speed, you gotta know after a while it's going out. There you go. Pickleball tip! And also people who don't know the positioning on the court. Exactly. You know, you gotta be b positioned in the right place. I think it's very important, you know. It's not just about making shots, it's positioning yourself in the right spot on the court. Right.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

So a lot of clubs have different rating systems, you know, as far as you know, whether you're a 3-0, 3-5, 4-0. Let's just keep it simple.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

Define a 4-0 player, in your mind. In my mind, consistency. A 4-0 player is the consistency who knows how to hit the ball when they need to, softly, hard, thinking. Um it's not about hitting the ball the hardest. It's about um thinking about the next shot. You know, you don't have to win the point on the first shot. It's every shot should have a meaning, a purpose, you know. And for me, a 4.0 player is somebody who does that, who's not looking, who has patience, you know. Um core position, like you said. Court position knows when to come to the kitchen, knows when to come out, where to put the racket, like, you know, when you should have it low, when you should have it high, when you're at the kitchen, when you should have it in front of you. You know, to me, you know, that's what a 4.0 is, you know. Um really it's consistency and knowing what shot to use and where you should be on the court at all times. Got it, got it.

SPEAKER_00 8:22

Moving with your partner in doubles back and forth. Good communication, good communication, covering for your partner. Covering for your partner when you need to, right.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

You know, you know, that's very important. Um, I think that's uh definitely what uh differentiates a 4-0 from uh 3-5 to 375.

SPEAKER_02 8:37

Cool, cool. Here we are. We're here now. Now tell us the biggest thing. Tell us about your skincare business. What your skincare products, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 8:48

Well, my father let him rest in peace. He's the one who started the business in 1984. Um and basically all the products initially came from Israel. That's where our manufacturer was. Interesting. Um, and all the formulations and the chemists came from there. And basically what I am, I'm a wholesale cosmetic distributor. So what I do is I have wholesale and retail. So I provide products to the aesthetician who wants to give facials to a client. Uh I provide them with the products. So like they can buy things like on this size, these are bulk size products. This is like a mask that they'll go and they can put apply to people, and I have all those kind of things that uh the aesthetician would need to give a facial. I apply I supply that. And then I have retail products, you know, that I make on my own that I, you know, you can buy on my website or you can buy on Amazon. Oh, wow. And it's for all skincare types, you know, for people who have acne problem skin to oily skin to normal to dry skin, sensitive skin. So basically, whatever you need, I have it. Wow. What's an aesthetician exactly? An aesthetician is somebody who gives someone a facial, basically, okay and helps uh open up the pores and clean the face, you know, get rid of blemishes, you know. It's basically like a mechanic for the face.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

Okay. That's great. Good to know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:06

So tell me, what was probably when you first started, what was your biggest challenge when you first started? Do you remember? In business?

SPEAKER_01 10:13

Yeah, business. Competition. You know? What differentiates you from somebody else? You know? Because there are a lot of products out there. It's a saturated industry. It is. It's a lot harder now than it was. You know, but now with the internet and uh everything, it's uh you know, you have to be special and be different than the other person. But I think my for me it was always customer service. My father always used to tell me the client is king. Until that day, and any business that you do, I think it's very important to put the client ahead of you. You know, and if they want something, you have to try to make them happy and appease them. Got it. Got it.

SPEAKER_00 10:49

It's great philosophy and repeat business, I'm sure uh comes from that.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

Any lesson for someone who's gonna start their own business? I mean, you as as a business owner, would you say there's anything in particular you would recommend? It could be any, you know.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

Oh, I think that you can't be afraid of failure. I think that's the most important thing because nothing goes straight and smooth. You know, you're gonna fail in life many times, but it's not what you do when you, you know, it's it's how you differentiate yourself and what you do when you fail and learn from your mistakes. Right. You know, don't be afraid to take chances in life because you can't fail if you don't take chances. Or you can't be a success if you don't take chances.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

It's a windy road, a long windy road, the peaks, the valleys, you gotta keep going. Look, like you came back in pickleball too, and your business has its uh ups and downs. Yeah. It's a very volatile economy.

SPEAKER_01 11:35

Yeah, but uh yeah, for sure. I mean, for me, pickleball saved my life. Wow, that's great to hear. It's a great story.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

But it works together pickleball, your social life, your family life, your business life. Yeah, I like to all the mesh.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

I like to have you know a separation between my business, my personal life, and pickleball life because for me, you know, pickleball brought me a lot of um good friends and people who are very close to me till this day, like you two. Thank you. We feel the same, we feel the same.

SPEAKER_00 12:05

That's why you're the premier guest.

SPEAKER_01 12:06

That's exactly up on our list. Yeah, and I just um, you know, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

SPEAKER_00 12:13

It's great to hear. It's all about balance, you know. When you can take that balance and mesh it together, it's it's really a great feeling to have a you know.

SPEAKER_01 12:20

As many people know, I'm probably I don't have the happiest face in the world when I play. You know, we know that, you know. That's why they have my group called Happy Face, because I'm not the same person off the court that I am on the court. You know, you're an intense gaming guy. I'm a very intense person in everything I do, but off the court I'm a different person. Absolutely. I I I agree about that.

SPEAKER_00 12:40

I know that there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, you know, Juan Soto does that. Why can't Diamond Dave?

SPEAKER_02 12:46

I don't get paid like Juan Soto.

SPEAKER_00 12:49

Maybe one day.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

Maybe one day. Yeah. So as far as like uh, you know, again, does it come up? When you're in the mid what in between games, does it come up at all as far as business, what you do at all? Or sure.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, we always want to know what people do and uh, you know, if I can help you, if you can help me. Um it's funny because I don't find like when I play pickleball, you don't realize that people have other lives too. You know, it's like we went out the other day for my birthday, right? You know, and it was a different, it was just totally different. You know, all I know is no it was a different vibe, right? It's different vibes, you know, it's a different connection, you know, and and it was nice. Yes, yes, I agree. Um but uh yeah, we definitely talk about business, but not a lot, you know. Because I think people when they play pickleball, they don't want to talk about business. They don't want and we want we want to talk about light things, you know. I'll talk about sports all day, you know. Right, of course, yeah. You learned you learned you learned about it quickly. Go next. Let's go next. I said that before. Exactly. It took me 53 years, you know? 53 years. Huge Nick fan, by the way. Big Nick at the top. Big Nick and Big Met fans, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

One out of two, but the Mets will make their comeback. I know. No, well, we'll see.

SPEAKER_02 14:01

All right, some personal funny things we'll I'll ask you.

SPEAKER_01 14:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

Do you have do you have a favorite paddle?

SPEAKER_01 14:07

Yeah, the Cosmos uh Jola. Um I started playing with that um the 16 millimeter. The um What does that mean?

SPEAKER_00 14:16

Can you tell us what that means exactly? Okay, the width of the of the racket, the diameter? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

Okay, not the thickness. Has a very has a very nice sweet spot. Okay. Um I changed to that two months ago. It's relatively new racket. Well, it's been for like two or three months now. Um, and the minute I I started playing with it, it just like, wow. You know, I just felt like so much more control, so much more power. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:40

Is there weight to these paddles? I know we called it racket, but it's a paddle. Paddle, I'm sorry, yeah. No, I always make the racket.

SPEAKER_01 14:47

That's for my tennis background.

SPEAKER_00 14:50

We're sort of trained and conditioned by paddle. Weight of paddle matters. You said sweet spot, you said diameter. How about the weight or the handle or the handle?

SPEAKER_01 14:57

I like it. I don't want it to be too light. I like I like my grip to be a little thick. Okay. You know? Um, I don't want it to be too loose in my hand. Um but uh other than that, you know, yeah, that's my favorite paddle for now. Okay. So that could change the number. Talk to me in another month. I'll probably have a new paddle.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

How many paddles do you have? Do you have like backup paddles?

SPEAKER_01 15:17

I have backup paddles. Um I had another Jola. Okay. I'm trying to remember the uh brand it was. Um I don't remember. Did you have an Agassiz paddle? I don't have an Agassiz paddle. I used it once as a demo and it was great.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Do you feel Jola's the most popular brand in the paddleball world now? Are there like other ones there, or is Jola like have the most market share? Yeah, Jola for sure. Jola, okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Cool.

SPEAKER_01 15:40

Okay, is he?

SPEAKER_00 15:41

Rich is an Agassiz guy.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

Jola makes Agassiz.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

So he's a Jola guy. He's a Jola guy.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

Jolly Jola.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:48

Would you say you're an early bird or a night guy? Early bird. Early bird, yeah. I told you he's an early bird.

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Well, sometimes he doesn't like to get up too too early to play the pickleball. It's just playing 10 or five days a week.

SPEAKER_01 16:01

I struggle playing really, really early. You know, I'm like myself as well. At my age, it's even hard getting up, you know, out of bed, you know, right now. You know, I'm like, oh boy, do I gotta go? But then once I get onto the court, it takes me like a game or two to like loosen up and the adrenaline goes, you loosen up, and and then before you know it, it's amazing.

SPEAKER_00 16:20

Yeah. The best feeling.

SPEAKER_01 16:21

Yeah, it's good. You know, what I love about it is that once you play in the morning and you're done by 10, first of all, you have the whole day still ahead of you. You feel like you were productive, you did something. You know, so uh I think that's good.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Wow, so if we go back to eight to ten, you might consider joining us then. Is that what you're saying? Sure.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

He's taking the fifth and saying sure in the same sentence.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

So after playing during the day, do you have like a favorite meal you like to eat?

SPEAKER_01 16:48

Uh when I'm watching myself or when I'm not watching myself?

SPEAKER_00 16:51

Oh, give us both. Give us both.

SPEAKER_01 16:53

Oh, a good slice of pizza when I'm not watching myself. Oh my god. When you're watching yourself? When I'm watching myself, um, I probably like uh good grilled chicken Caesar salad. Cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:07

Dream celebrity pickleball partner. Who would you say would be a dream celebrity pickleball partner for you?

SPEAKER_01 17:14

Male or female? Either. Partner? I mean, yeah, partner. Based on what? Like based on their playing?

SPEAKER_02 17:21

It's just the celebrities. Like, it's just, I guess I I wouldn't even say play, I just say just it could be like an actor, someone you had a crush on, whoever. Just like, you know, the opportunity to play to play with somebody famous.

SPEAKER_01 17:33

You know what? I'm gonna say right now, I would love to play with Andre Agassi.

SPEAKER_02 17:38

Well, we have him out grouped. Yes, we do. We do, we do. He's not here, but he's not here, he's in the Hampton.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

So we'll be good player like you, very balanced player. I grew up loving Agassiz when I was younger, you know. So Especially from the tennis world, right? And now he loves playing uh pickleball with his wife Steffi, you know, who is also a great tennis player. Yeah, but celebrity? Um Jennifer Anderson, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 18:02

That's a good one, I'll tell you that, you know. Why can't we all be friends?

SPEAKER_02 18:06

You had a really important tournament. Yeah. All right. You know, you you know, you need to choose one player. Uh win a lot of money. And you had to choose, you know, who again, someone to play with, championship match. Right. Andrew Ritter or Eric Handleman. Who would you choose?

SPEAKER_00 18:28

This is a no-win situation that we have. This question. This that's a close one. We know this would be a tough question for you because they're both supreme guys. How about Eric Ritter?

SPEAKER_02 18:37

Oh, I love it! I love it.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

All right, you like that? I like that, I like that. I love it. He made a hybrid out of two pros. There we go. There we go. I like that. I like that. Now that's that's a diplomatic person. I love it. I love it. That's what the show's gonna be about. I was gonna say he should be a politician.

SPEAKER_02 18:54

Exactly. All right. What's something people don't know about you?

SPEAKER_00 18:59

Well, they're gonna know when he says it.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

I'm a very sensitive person. Um, but I don't think uh that they don't know about me. I'm very loyal. Okay. Yeah, very loyal. Great trait. Yeah. What has inspired you most? What's inspired me? Yeah. My parents. Okay. Yeah. My father came to this country with nothing, made himself something out of himself, you know. From Israel? He was from Israel, passed away last year. Um, but uh he worked very hard. He came here and had nothing, worked in gas stations, you know. Um Grassroots guy, built himself up.

SPEAKER_00 19:42

Yeah, built himself from a different country coming over with basically nothing.

SPEAKER_01 19:45

Didn't even speak the language. He took classes, didn't understand the language, and he made something you know, he made something himself. So I would say him. Is your mother from Israel too? She is, she still lives there.

SPEAKER_00 19:55

She still lives there. So they met in Israel. Wow, okay.

SPEAKER_01 19:57

They met in Israel. You have siblings? I do.

SPEAKER_00 20:00

I have an older sister, four years. Very nice. She's in the States? No, everyone lives there. Oh, everybody's there. So you're the guy that's here representing. Okay. Great. Great story. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:10

What's your de what what would you say is your definition of success in life?

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Happiness. Being happy. It's not about money. It's about waking up every single morning, feeling good about the person you are, who you are. Um money comes and goes, but uh character stays, I think. Got it.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

And to conclude, two more things. If people want to come meet you, where can they find you?

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Probably on a pickleball court.

unknown 20:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

On the pickleball court. Probably been on the pickleball court. Or call me, text me, we can meet.

SPEAKER_02 20:42

Okay. Final question. Yeah. Tell us one thing you've never admitted on a pickleball court.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

That I've never admitted? Yeah. Um. One thing that I've never admitted on the pickleball court. Yeah, it says the last one. This is a very hard one. One thing that I've never admitted on the pickleball court. I get nervous sometimes. You get nervous? I get nervous when I play people who are, you know, better than me. You know. Really? Yeah, sometimes I do.

SPEAKER_00 21:13

But you step it up. I'm sure I've seen it. I've been a witness to that.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

Yeah, but uh definitely. Or when I'm playing a tournament, you know, sometimes I get a little uh butterflies inside. Oh yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:23

We know about that, right? That's the feeling that's just different.

SPEAKER_01 21:26

I don't want the other person to know that, but now they all do. So it's okay.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

If you reveal your weaknesses, you'll grow in strength. Yeah, probably that. How do we find out about your company if somebody wants to find out about your skincare products and your and your whole company? What do they need to do?

SPEAKER_01 21:40

You can go to my website, it's denortcosmetics.com, D-I-N-U-R-Cosmetics.com.

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 21:46

Um, you also can find me on Amazon. Just look up Denor Cosmetics and pretty much uh you can see everything I have over there. You know, or you could uh call me up on my toll free number, 1 800 526 2535.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

Is there hundreds of products, thousands of products? Like what's your product graph?

SPEAKER_01 22:03

I feel like a hundred pro like a hundred range in that range, probably. And it's it's broken down between uh wholesale, which is for the professional use, and retail.

SPEAKER_00 22:13

Every year does the product evolve where there's new products for the new season, like in the retail fashion industry? Is there new pro do you constantly have to keep evolving products?

SPEAKER_01 22:21

You do.

SPEAKER_00 22:21

You do.

SPEAKER_01 22:22

Yeah, you do. Not even. And there's always new regulations that you have to uh adhere to. So it's uh yeah, it's stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Is that called like FDA regulations or those are string pretty stringent and you gotta find those?

SPEAKER_01 22:36

They might say, you know, you have an ingredient in a product that you've been using for years, and all of a sudden one day the FDA says, oops, nope, no good. You know, you gotta change it. And what a mess that is because you have all this packaging with the ingredient name in it and the formulator, then you have to find something that you can substitute that's gonna be okay. You know, i i i it's hard.

SPEAKER_00 22:57

Do you have partners in your business? No, I'm more mentioned. And last question do you and your family use your own products? Do they believe in your own products? Could you believe I'm only uh 30 years old? You are glowing. Oh my god. Am I glowing right now?

SPEAKER_02 23:09

And then also, I mean, like I said, I think we get some good ideas as far as content shoots and where to go. Because, like I said, I want to go to all the different pickleball places. I want to I want to definitely check out the Pickler, go there, play, talk to them, you know, you know, unbiased, you know. No, you know, again, I I like all the places. Uh every place is they have two places, right? The Pickler, Santa Reach and Comac coming in September. But let's tour around. Let's go see the players, let's go see the box. I want to I want to go there. There's there's a place that opened up in Amneyville. Uh Ellie was telling me about from some private place. Like a private uh room or something. I don't know exactly. All right, let's crash the place. I want to go to the campaign. I want to go. Let's get in. You know, yeah. So I'm like really uh I'm really excited. You know, you know, Dave's very into pickleball. I'm obsessed with pickleball myself. Uh I I have to tell you, I was talking to some I got a Facebook message. I didn't get a chance to tell you this. How big pickleball is. I play with someone who is has a place on Fire Island. I'm not going to mention names. And she was telling me how she's desperate, and she was asking about different groups, and how she really needs to play. She has she's it's hard for her to play because you know she spent the summer there. And it just shows you how people have a love for this game. And it's it's just something we want to talk about, help promote. People that want to promote their businesses. I mean, you know, it's such a social sport. Even the different age groups. Again, we've talked about this. This the bonding, you know, it doesn't matter how old you are, everybody gets along, everybody, it's it's a great topic. Wide range of demographics, really. Wide range. I love it. And uh I am excited to kick off uh I'm excited to to to do this, and and uh, and obviously we're done with episode two, and I'm excited for episode three and beyond.
