In this episode, I have the joy of welcoming a long awaited guest, my very own husband, Brent Burchett! When I first started this podcast about two years ago, I asked Brent to be a guest on the podcast and much to my dismay, he said no! He then agreed that if I made it to 100 episodes, then he’d be a guest on the show. So here we are! 100 episodes into the Climbing with Coach Kiah podcast and he kept his word. 

Brent Burchett serves as Executive Director of the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau. His 15-year career in agriculture and public policy has included service at the local, state, and federal levels of government, including the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Kentucky Soybean Association, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, Kentucky Secretary of State, and the Office of U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell. Burchett is a proud graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture and the Martin School for Public Policy and Administration. He grew up working on his family's grain and tobacco farm near the western Kentucky town of Murray, and lives today in San Luis Obispo with his wonderful wife, Kiah. 


In this episode, we’ll chat about:


  • The story of how we met
  • How our past business of Burley & Barley came about
  • How bourbon is made, how to read labels, and some tips on choosing a good one
  • Some insight on Ag Lobbying
  • Differences between CA agriculture and KY agriculture
  • A few questions that my community asked
  • The thing we fight about most in our relationship
