This week, a rebroadcast of our episode with the Shop Local Kentucky Chief Kentuckian himself, Rick Paynter! Make sure to check out thekyshop.com when your shopping this holiday season.

After Shop Local as an Instagram account in 2014, Rick has grown the company to become a household name across the Bluegrass with a robust online presence, a physical store, and events that attract thousands. Rick sits down with us to discuss personal branding, giving back to the community, and what's next for Shop Local.
