Welcome to Episode 1 of The RPNY Podcast.

In this inaugural episode, we sit down with Roman Prokes, world-renowned racquet technician and founder of RPNY, to talk about his move from New York to Tennessee and what it’s been like becoming part of the Farm & Forge ecosystem.

Roman shares his first impressions of Tennessee, the people, and the culture—and what ultimately led him to bring RPNY to Farm & Forge. We dive into the evolution of the facility, the vision for what’s being built, and how this unique environment fosters both elite performance and a true family atmosphere.

This episode marks the first time we’ve showcased RPNY as part of Farm & Forge on the channel—and it’s just the beginning.

Subscribe for future episodes and conversations at the intersection of performance, craft, and culture.
