Community is not a perk.

It’s tHE cURRICULUM

Community isn't a perk at BNE, it's the strategy. We believe the people you're around shape the professional you become. So we build rooms where that happens on purpose.

BNE's community experience series is a collection of curated events designed to connect emerging professionals in the KC metro through honest conversation, shared experience, and the kind of energy that follows you home.

The room you’ve been looking for.

BNE Events

STILL FIGURING IT OUT

For people building a career, a life, and themselves. All at the same time.

A podcast about the real-life process of becoming who you’re meant to be. Each week, we sit with people navigating real questions about career, confidence, identity, ambition, relationships, purpose, and personal growth. Through honest conversations and a weekly recap, we unpack what we're learning, what we're questioning, and what we're still trying to figure out.

Because becoming a better professional is only part of the story.

We're still figuring out the person we're becoming, too.

Coming Soon

The Common Room

Community Gathering

Come for the games. Stay for the opinions.

The Common Room is game night with an edge. Every session closes with “Beg to Differ,” a structured segment where the room speaks its mind, defends its positions, and finds out what it actually believes.

It's the lowest barrier to entry and often the highest energy in the room. You don't need to know anyone. You just need to show up.

The Unseen Table

Intimate Facilitated Dinner

Eight to twelve people. One table. One guided conversation about something that actually matters. The Unseen Table is BNE's most intimate experience. Designed for depth over breadth and real relationship over surface-level connection.

Who it's for: Professionals ready for a different kind of conversation.

BNE Tennis Club

Twice-Monthly Community Meetup

Not everything has to be a workshop. The BNE Tennis Club is a recurring meetup for the KC community to play, connect, and be. On and off the court. All skill levels welcome.

Upcoming Experiences

Why Tennis?

Beyond Normal Tennis Club
A community-centered wellness initiative using tennis as a tool for exposure, confidence-building, mental health, and collective growth. Designed for beginners and first-time players, the club emphasizes access, discipline, and belonging over competition.

The Beyond Normal Tennis Club expands our Community & Culture pillar by introducing people to nontraditional spaces that support wellness, discipline, and exposure. Tennis is used as a vehicle to build confidence, emotional regulation, focus, and a sense of belonging—skills that translate into academic, career, and personal success. This initiative helps break down perceived barriers to access while fostering community, health, and leadership development.
