The Kekoa Collective: July 23, 2017
from Dirty White Belt Radio · host Jeff Shaw
What if you could travel, surf and train jiu jitsu for the rest of your life? And what if, by building a for-profit business with a new economic model, you could help other people live that lifestyle, too? That's one of the dreams of the Kekoa Collective, a business rooted in Hawaii, but with big plans to make a splash across the jiujitsu world. We talked with founders Dewey Doan and Aubrey Koenig and recent partner Jeffrey Huang about Kekoa's vision, its innovative revenue sharing model designed to help other jiujitsu academies grow, how they actually open their store space for community projects, the real story behind an iconic brand photo and much more. You can meet these folks at Masters Worlds in Las Vegas in a few weeks, and learn more about the company at kekoacollective.com! Thanks as always to our sponsors, US Grappling, Toro BJJ, and Cageside Fight Co.!
