SQUAD GOALS × KICKBACK COFFEE | COLLECTIVE SESSIONS
Your next idea could start over coffee. ☕
Join a room full of athletes from different sports for coffee, conversation and the founder story behind Kickback.
Former professional rugby player Alex Shaw started roasting coffee in a popcorn maker. What followed was a business built around his passion for coffee, the outdoors and bringing people together.
GB BMX racer and Kickback ambassador Ross Cullen will host a live conversation with Alex, exploring the first leap, the messy bits and the ambition driving it all.
We’re at Kickback for a reason: to hear an athlete’s story in the space he’s created, and see what it could spark for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Time to mingle and meet athletes from different sports.
