Today’s podcast guest is Jenny Nguyen, who is a professional chef, elite athlete, and entrepreneur. I invited Jenny onto the podcast because she has done something extraordinary that is long overdue:
She opened up a sports bar that exclusively plays women’s sports!
Despite extensive research, Jenny hasn’t found another sports bar worldwide that only plays women’s sports.
Given that it’s nearly 2023, this is mind-blowing. As a lifelong athlete, I find her vision compelling and inspiring. Aptly called the The Sports Bra, the venue is putting Jenny’s culinary skills on display alongside women’s sports worldwide.
The Sports Bar has taken its mission a even further by partnering with and elevating other local, women-owned businesses.
Specifically, it:
1. Sources its grass-fed beef from Carman Ranch, an ranch run by Cory Carman, a third generation rancher out of Wallowa, Oregon)
2. Sources its alcohol from Freeland Spirits, an all-women owned and operated distillery out of Portland, Oregon.
3. Has furniture built by Girls Build, a non-profit organization headed by Katie Hughes in Portland, OR, that teaches carpentry and construction skills to young girls as a path to empowerment.
Since opening the Sports Bra this April, people have come from all over the U.S. and the world to experience it—including many elite and professional athletes.
