Why C3?

Catch-Up – I LOVE a chat and connecting
The concept is simple, organic and authentic conversations with great people across the sporting landscape.
Eight years after our paths first crossed at the inaugural Steven Adams High School Invitational in New Zealand — when Anzac Rissetto was just 17 — we sat down again, now at 25, for a conversation that felt incredibly special.
This wasn’t just a chat about basketball.
Anzac spoke with honesty, humour and real openness about the journey that has taken him from junior New Zealand basketball and NCAA Division I to the Tall Blacks, the NBL, championship success in Australia and Germany, and now the BNZ Breakers.
We talk about ambition, setbacks, growth, team culture, influencing winning and the people who shape you along the way.
We also share a deeply meaningful conversation about our mutual friend and Anzac’s former New Zealand junior teammate, Jake McKinlay — remembering the teammate, the bro, and the special person he was to so many.
There was something incredibly real about this conversation, and I’m grateful to Anzac for the trust and honesty he brought to it.
This one means a lot.
