Meet Michelle Maclaggan

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michelle Maclaggan. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michelle below.

Hi Michelle , appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from experience—being in the trenches of startup businesses, navigating the inevitable ups and downs, and staying laser-focused on my vision, and that’s the mindset that keeps me pushing forward.

I demand the best from myself because I know that excellence is what sets me apart. My business partner Paul and I have built Let’s Glo Ball with an unwavering dedication to client experience, ensuring that every event exceeds expectations. Adaptability is key—there are always challenges, unexpected details, and last-minute hiccups, but I thrive in that space.

What fuels me is my absolute belief in our product, our service, and our ability to deliver something truly special. We’re not just creating glow-in-the-dark pickleball events—we’re curating unforgettable experiences. At the end of the night, when clients walk away beyond satisfied, that’s my confirmation that we’re offering the best in the business. That’s what keeps me going.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

At Let’s Glo Ball, we bring an electrifying twist to the fastest-growing sport in the world—pickleball. As Southern California’s premier glow-in-the-dark pickleball event company, we don’t just set up black lights and tape; we transform courts into immersive neon playgrounds.

What makes us truly special is our Hollywood-grade lighting experience, inspired by studio production lighting, ensuring players are fully engaged from the moment they step onto the courts. We curate every detail—custom-branded nets and fence banners, high-energy DJs, vibrant music, and neon accessories—to create an unmatched atmosphere of fun and competition. Our events are designed to elevate the game, whether for private clubs, elite clientele, or corporate gatherings looking for a unique, high-energy experience.

We are constantly evolving and expanding, bringing our signature glow pickleball experience to new venues, clients, and collaborations. Whether it’s an exclusive private event, a high-profile corporate gathering, or a luxury club experience, we deliver a premium level of service that leaves players and guests in awe.

At the heart of Let’s Glo Ball is a commitment to excellence and innovation, ensuring every event is not just a game, but an unforgettable event.

Stay tuned—we have exciting new partnerships and experiences coming soon!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, three key qualities have been most impactful in my journey as an entrepreneur:

Unwavering Commitment & Confidence – Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart. You have to believe in yourself, your brand, and your vision—even when things feel uncertain. The ups and downs of a startup can be intense, but staying the course, no matter how shaky it gets, is what separates those who succeed from those who give up.

Laser Focus & Adaptability – Distractions, setbacks, and unexpected challenges are part of the journey. Staying focused on your goals while being adaptable to changes is critical. It’s easy to get discouraged, but success comes from continuously pushing forward, refining your approach, and staying locked in on your bigger picture.

Surrounding Yourself with the Right People – Success isn’t built in isolation. I’ve learned the power of surrounding myself with like-minded, successful individuals—mentors, advisors, and those who have walked the path before me. Their guidance, support, and insights have been invaluable in navigating challenges and thinking bigger than I ever thought possible.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

Absolutely! Let’s Glo Ball is just getting started, and the momentum we’ve built proves that glow-in-the-dark pickleball is an electrifying addition to the fastest-growing sport in the nation. The numbers speak for themselves—according to market data, the global pickleball market is projected to reach $7.9 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 15.3%. That kind of explosive growth signals massive opportunities, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s next.

We have huge aspirations for the future of Let’s Glo Ball and the pickleball community as a whole. We’re already envisioning our next major venture—something that will be the first of its kind in San Diego and will expand nationwide and globally. We truly believe we are revolutionizing the way people experience pickleball under the lights, and this is only the beginning.

We are actively looking to collaborate with strategic partners, investors, and brands that share our passion for innovation and creating premium, unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re a venue, event planner, corporate brand, or investor looking to be part of something groundbreaking, we’d love to connect.

If you’re interested in partnering with us or learning more, we have a media kit available for potential collaborators and investors. Let’s bring Neon Nights to courts across the nation and beyond—Let’s Glo!
