This week, LINK nky CEO Lacy Starling and Business Reporter Kenton Hornbeck talk about the entrepreneurial ecosystem of NKY and how organizations like Blue North and Main Street Ventures are helping entrepreneurs thrive. Kenton discusses the differences between Leap funding and Launch funding, the diverse business landscape of NKY, and new businesses like Cooler Keg...which Kenton then pitches to Lacy as a party idea for the LINK nky office.
Then, Kenton chats with Brent Cooper*, President & CEO of Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and founder of C-Forward, about the pandemic's impact on the region, addressing NKY's challenges in the business community, being an economic driver for Kentucky and designing initiatives to help the region reach success. Brent also touches upon Northern Kentucky perspectives on issues, like sports wagering and tourism, and how NKY's views occasionally differ from what Kentucky is focused on as a whole.
