TRENTON IRWIN ✨

#16 WR for the Cincinnati Bengals, Trenton Irwin, has done the unthinkable- made Kayla a NFL fan.

While his football career is impressive, Trenton’s heart for giving back to people (and animals) was the most impactful.

Listen in to hear him talk about his journey to the NFL, how he stays ready to perform at such a demanding level, and other gems of advice anyone can apply to their own life.

Trenton, thank you for taking the time to sit and chat with us girls from Kentucky. It's an experience we won't soon forget!

✨ THE TIM LAYTEN ✨

The man. The myth. The legend.
To say BBB would be lost without is a massive understatement.

Tim keeps us all on track, makes us look & sound good, AND puts up with our shenanigans. Thankfully Tim lives by a “say YES” mentality and is always game for our crazy ideas. A friendship like that is more empowering than most realize.

When he’s not keeping track of the three of us, Tim can be found filming for UK Football. Listen to hear his personal journey of saying “yes” and how it helped him realize and achieve his own dreams.

We are so grateful for you Tim.
We love doing Business in the Bluegrass with you.

When he's not traveling, Bryce is a true "Bourbon Bro" and is currently planning his own podcast centered around bourbon, as well as his own bourbon line - coming soon.

As a serial entrepreneur, Bryce believes in resilience, following your heart, and using business to give back and inspire others.

We had an opportunity to sit down with equestrian photographer, content creator and creative strategist, Isabel McSwain! We had so much fun learning about equine marketing, and for those who know our fellow Bluegrass Babe, Leigh, you can already guess how much she was fan-girling over this one!

Isabel, or “Izzy”, captures some of the most notable equine events around the country, including the Land Rover Three-Day Event held right here in Lexington, KY. The Land Rover Three-Day Event is a CCI5* competition, which means it is the highest level of competition in the sport. In addition to equine sports, Izzy has captured several UK sports events, including UK Football and UK basketball games. At such a young age, Izzy’s portfolio is quite impressive. So, who is the girl behind the lens? Tune in to find out!

Thanks for chatting with us Izzy! We love doing Business in the Bluegrass with you!
