Griffin Meredith and Tommy Lawson host Built In The Bluegrass, a conversation that digs into the stories behind the products and innovations coming from Kentucky. This isn't just about what gets made, but about the people who make it-the manufacturers, engineers, and creative minds who are building businesses and solving problems right here. Each episode pulls up a stool for a genuine talk, exploring the intersections of craft, technology, and smart business practices that define modern making. You'll hear about the unexpected challenges in a startup's first production run, the clever adaptation of an old-world skill to a new market, or how a family workshop evolved into a global supplier. The landscape of this podcast is rich with practical knowledge, from shop floor logistics and material science to the personal journeys of resilience and vision that fuel these ventures. It’s a direct line to the ingenuity thriving in our communities, offering a refreshingly grounded perspective on education, industry, and hands-on creation. Tune in to discover the tangible results of passion and hard work, and maybe even find a bit of inspiration for your own projects along the way.
