Today's guest is Jenny Nguyen, owner and founder of The Sports Bra, the country’s first sports bar dedicated to women’s sports. The Sports Bra opened in Portland, Oregon, in April 2022 and will be expanding around the country, thanks to an investment from Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of Serena Williams. Jenny joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about franchising The Bra; her recent travels to Cannes, Paris, and Las Vegas; the “collaborative joy” among Portland food folk; and learning to think big. “I grossly underestimated” the potential of The Bra, she admits. Learn how she’s changed her frame of mind, what’s next, and why she thinks she’s the “luckiest person alive.”Thank you to OpenTable and Pernod Ricard for supporting Radio Cherry Bombe.
