Doors open at 3:30 PM for open networking
What happens when a military leader, pastor, and entrepreneur brings those experiences into the world of business?
Come hear the story behind the business—and the person behind the business.
Join us for an engaging afternoon of Sips & Stories, where we go beyond the business card and get to know the real person behind the professional title.
Our featured guest, Rick Webster, President & CEO of Kairos Flooring LLC, operating as Floor Coverings International of Northern Colorado Springs, brings a unique combination of military logistics, pastoral leadership, entrepreneurship, and a genuine commitment to serving people.
But this conversation isn't just about flooring.
It's about leadership. Integrity. Starting over. Serving others. Building trust. And what it really takes to build something that lasts.
Rick's journey from military service to entrepreneurship has shaped the way he leads his company today. His approach centers on education, transparency, personal service, and building relationships—not simply making a sale.
And if you've ever wondered what happens when the lessons learned in one chapter of life become the foundation for the next, you won't want to miss this conversation.
🎙️ Meet Our Guest: Rick Webster
Rick Webster leads a Colorado Springs-based flooring business built around personalized service and an educational approach to helping homeowners make important decisions.
His background in Army logistics and pastoral leadership has helped shape a business culture grounded in discipline, integrity, service, and people.
His philosophy?
Do the work right. Take care of people. Build trust.
And there's a lot more to his story.
Come hear it for yourself.
☕ Come Early & Connect
Doors open at 3:30 PM for networking!
Grab a coffee, meet someone new, reconnect with local business owners, and enjoy some meaningful conversation before we take our seats for the show.
Sips & Stories is a place where we get to know the person before the profession—because the best relationships often begin with a conversation that has nothing to do with what you do for a living.
