Episode Description
We sit down with Val and Rachel, the couple behind The Racket House.
Val shares his story of leaving the former Soviet Union as a child, living in Israel, and eventually landing in Canada. Rachel shares what it was like growing up homeschooled while training as a competitive figure skater, spending long days on the ice and chasing a very high level of sport.
Together, they talk about childhood, immigration, athletics, reinvention, and the path that led them to Kelowna and to building something new.
A thoughtful conversation about resilience, partnership, movement, and starting again.
