Welcome to the eventful entrepreneur. I'm Roger Woodall, founder of the Bormer Sevens,

the world's largest sport and music festival. With all events in 2020 grinding to a halt,

I'll be bringing people back together, but in a different way.

On this week's episode, I'm talking to an old mate of mine, Andy Kane.

Andy has travelled the world working for Puma and Nike and other global sports brands.

He has so many cracking stories from Usain Bolt to Rihanna to Wayne Rooney.

Andy is deep into the world of sport and business.

Here's the man himself, Mr Andy Kane.

Kane, we've known each other a long time and I've seen that, you know, over the years,

you've worked for Nike, Puma, Foot Locker, and one of the biggest events in the UK, Great North Run.

Lufber was the place to go if you had any ambitions to be an athlete

and also get an education at the same time.

So yeah, I had to get my ass to Loverra in order to run faster basically.

And that's what happened.

Went to Loughborough in 1995.

95, wow.
