Itās Episode 13āand weāre dropping it a day early to kick off your Fourth of July with some red, white, and real talk. šŗšø
This special holiday episode features a conversation with social media influencer turned entrepreneur Griffin Johnson, who opens up about his journey from a small town in Illinois to building a career across platforms, brands, and venture capital. From nursing school TikToks to his most viral moments, Griffin shares how authenticity, adaptability, and staying humble have shaped his success.
Meanwhile, the Johns are backāand dressed for the occasion. Youāll want to watch this one on YouTube to see the full glory of their patriotic outfits (spoiler: stars and stripes everywhere). And while Will Beshear did not participate in the fashion parade, he did return to the podāand heās bringing more Gen Z wisdom with him. In between roasting the Johns and teaching them new slang (āAmerica is goated all the timeā), Will reflects on his recent run for national Beta Club office and what it meant to represent Kentucky on a national stage.
šļø In this weekās In My Kentucky Accent, Andy reflects on the meaning of patriotismānot just as fireworks and flags, but as a responsibility to move our country forward, together. āThis Fourth of July, letās see how we can all move forwardāas neighbors, not enemies.ā
And yesāwe dive into the headlines. From the Big Beautiful (or Big Ugly) Bill that could strip health coverage and stall economic progress, to the growing political pressure on university presidents, the guys break it down in a way thatās honest, human, and just the right amount of hot dog humor.
Itās another episode packed with heart, laughs, and insightsāplus a few sweet stories about Derby Day, Beta Club, and what makes this country truly worth celebrating.
