Earlier this year, The Kitchen team had the privilege to visit world famous entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson on his private island in the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island.

Necker is a truly magical place, and we were honored to be able to sit down with Sir Richard to discuss this beautiful island he calls home, how Necker brings people together, and his take on all things pickleball.

Richard Branson's vision for Necker isn't about luxury. The haven was built to foster connections and inspire creativity among entrepreneurs.

That's where Casey Brown, founder of the island's Pickleball Pro Am, saw an opportunity to connect leaders through what is surely the world's most friendly, inclusive sport.

Necker Island Pickleball Pro Am is poised to become an annual highlight on the calendar. With plans for future events already in motion, Casey and her team are committed to nurturing this growing community for years to come.

Watch the full conversation with Sir Richard, Casey, and The Kitchen below:
