We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Aarav and Arsh Parekh. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Aarav and Arsh below.
Aarav and Arsh, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our story. “Arsh and I created this podcast at the start of the pandemic to create an outlet for kids our age. After listening to Skip and Shannon and ESPN Talk Shows every day, we thought we could do a show with each other about sports topics and interview guest athletes, all from our perspective as teens” shares Aarav. Hence, we launched “Two Brothers and Their Sports” with the mission to the first kids’ sports podcast from a kid’s perspective that is developed and hosted by kids and that focuses on a wide range of sports such as NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, and Men’s and Women’s NCAA.
As part of our mission, we have been motivating and guiding today’s youth through our guest interview segments. To date we have successfully produced over 152 podcast episodes interviewing over 43 inspiring guests who come from sports related backgrounds from professional athletes to young rising stars to sports medicine professionals and doctors, and more. These include athletes from various sports fields including a New York Yankees pitcher, Kansas City Royals pitcher, NFL wide receiver, US women’s soccer team player, Ice Hockey Olympian, MLB Pitcher for Philadelphia Phillies, forward for the Denver Nuggets, a field hockey player, a baseball coach and many more. Many of the guests we have interviewed have shared their daily routine, tips for the younger generation to stay healthy, maximize performance and have a winning mindset and guide them on acquiring a champion mentality and driving success from a young age. We are glad our listeners can use this knowledge to improve their daily habits and lifestyle, and become successful young people.
Aarav and Arsh, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
At the age of 11 and 12 years old, we launched our podcast, “Two Brothers and Their Sports” in April 2020. What makes our podcast unique is that we are probably the first ever kids sports podcast with two brothers as co-hosts! Our listening audience has crossed over 7000 global listeners across three continents. We are truly humbled and blessed to have achieved so much in just two and a half years. Our sports podcast has had over 4000 downloads in just over one year, and has been well-received with a 4.8 out of 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts. Listen Notes has ranked it as one of the top 5% most popular shows out of 2,878,539 podcasts globally, ranked by their Listen Score (the estimated popularity score). Additionally, we have been honored and humbled to be featured in multiple local and national news media outlets such as WRAL News, Spectrum News 1, WKNC 88.1 FM, Durham Magazine and more.

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Yes, we launched our podcast to inspire kids; we have a goal of inspiring youth to lead healthy and active lives. Through our weekly podcast shows, we are encouraging our listeners to stay fit and healthy and adopt healthy lifestyle principles. We motivate them to get outdoors and take up sports as a hobby. So by sharing about our passion for sports, we hope to influence others to also take up a sport that will keep them happy, healthy and fit! Furthermore, our interviews with leading sports personalities serve as an inspiring factor and learning lesson for kids, who see these celebrities as role models. They benefit from the athletes’ sports and lifestyle principles and learn how they have achieved triumph from hard work.
In the short-term, we want to continue educating, entertaining and informing our listeners and aim to acquire new listeners and followers. We hope to continue interviewing diverse sports personalities and bring their inspiring stories to our listeners. As our reach extends, we’d like to use the podcast to give back to the community. We hope to partner with sports organizations to help underprivileged kids pursue higher education.
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
t is wonderful to have a brother as a business partner and co-host – we are brothers who are best friends, best teammates, biggest rivals who are two avid sports fanatics! And we are probably the first ever kids sports podcast with two brothers as co-hosts!
