On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Kintsugi Village will host “Winning the Long Game: A Roundtable on Health, Purpose & Life,” a community conversation featuring author Joel Walkowski, 1 Girl Revolution founder Kate Milligan, and former Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner, founder of Zion Performance. The event begins at 5:00 PM at Kintsugi Village, 2020 14th St, Detroit, MI 48216, and is open to the public.

The roundtable brings together three distinct journeys - professional sports, entrepreneurship, and storytelling - united by a shared belief that real winning has less to do with the scoreboard and more to do with how a person shows up for their own health, purpose, recovery, and life.

Walkowski's new book, Honolulu Blues: How Loving a Losing Football Team Created a Winning Man, chronicles a lifetime of loving the Detroit Lions alongside a raw, funny account of addiction, mental health, and what it actually takes to become a “winning” human being. Milligan and Walkowski have been partnering on multiple community events throughout Metro Detroit, and are excited to welcome Zenner into the discussion about health, wellness, and finding fulfillment and purpose. Zenner, who was a running back for the Detroit Lions before founding the athletic training and mindset company Zion Performance, brings a performance-and-wellness lens shaped by his own transition out of professional sports. Zenner will be in town to speak to The Detroit Lions during training and is coming in early to be a part of this inspiring community event. 

The evening will include a moderated panel discussion, audience Q&A, a book signing, and autographs and photos with Zach Zenner.  Attendance is free.
