What’s the Startup?! Podcast Wraps Up Season 2

June 20, 2025

We’re taking a short summer break—and spotlighting some of our favorite episodes along the way.

Season Two of What’s the Startup?! is officially in the books—and this one was packed.

Over the past few months, we’ve shared real, unfiltered stories from founders and creators across Western Kentucky who are building things that matter. We talked about pivots, false starts, quiet wins, and the hard decisions that happen behind the scenes—because let’s be honest, building a business isn’t always a straight line.

We sat down with entrepreneurs who are just getting started, others who’ve already taken the leap, and a few who’ve come out the other side with wisdom earned the hard way. And if there’s one thing we’re walking away with, it’s this:

There’s no single path to success—but there is a community here that makes the journey a little less lonely.

That’s the heartbeat of this podcast. And it’s the same spirit behind SprocketWKY.com—our free platform for regional founders, creatives, and small business owners.

If you haven’t signed up yet, now’s the time. Inside, you’ll find:

  • A growing mentor network with people who’ve been there
  • A regional job board for local talent and opportunities
  • A supportive community forum for questions and connections
  • Free courses and tools to help you take the next step

Whether you’re launching something new or looking to level up what you’ve already built, we want you to know you’re not doing it alone.

We’re taking a short break this summer to prep for Season Three, which launches this fall—but in the meantime, we’ll be spotlighting some of our favorite past episodes. So if you missed one (or want to re-listen with fresh ears), keep an eye on your feed.

Got a story you think we should feature next season? Let us know. We’re always looking for new voices and regional stories to share.

Thanks for being part of it all. We’ll be back soon.
