As a former east basketball brand manager at Nike, Kenji Summers was on a mission to lead a hoops renaissance in NYC. Within two years, Kenji played a vital role in the discovery of Sheck Wes as well as the reconnection between Pee Wee Kirkland and Nike Basketball.

Today, Kenji is the leader of the “Free Peace” movement by way of his own brand entitled, “KAVAKENJI.” After learning about kava while backpacking across the world, Kenji is now on a mission to bring peace to the world through kava culture.

In this episode of our Driven Minds Podcast, Kenji chats with us about bringing back Nike Air Force 1’s, impacting culture, and wanting to reclaim his peace through meditation.
