On this edition of The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks, we are joined by Covington author Krista Powers who's penned a new book called Midlife Calm: An Alternative to Midlife Crisis. Powers is the founder and president of Potere, where she coaches people on their life and professional choices and opportunities.

"When you choose and shift into Midlife Calm you will experience freedom, growth, joy, clarity, and abundant possibilities," Powers writes.

And then we talk about the Kentucky State Fair, which returns to Louisville in August. Yes, it's worth the drive for Northern Kentucky folks - especially if you've never been. We're joined by David Beck, president and CEO of Kentucky Venues, which produces the event.

The Kentucky Side is produced by Cam Miller and recorded in part at Northern Kentucky University (Beck's interview was conducted via Zoom).
