WELCOME MUUVWELL

The CREATE and WKU Innovation Campus ecosystem continues to grow, and we’re pleased to introduce MuuvWELL one of the newest companies to join our vibrant community of innovators and entrepreneurs.

From - Kevin Winn - Founder/CEO - MuuvWell

I’m excited to announce that MuuvWell has officially relocated to the WKU Innovation Campus!

In Q4 of this year, my business partner Wade Weatherholt PT, DPT and I started discussing whether it was time for a new location. After meeting the team at the Innovation Campus and connecting with some of the incredible entrepreneurs working there, it quickly became a no brainer.

I’ve lived in Bowling Green most of my life and had no idea the big things happening inside this former mall. I still remember going to dollar movies here! The WKU Innovation Campus is truly unique for a community our size, and the energy and creativity inside the building rival any big city startup environment.

We’re excited to work alongside some outstanding companies on campus, including UnDesked, WellGenie, InnoEngine, Eezy, and many others.

A special thank you to Jeff Hook and Henry "Buddy" Steen for welcoming us into such an incredible community built on collaboration and innovation.

Here’s to an exciting new chapter for MuuvWell!

NARRATIVE NETWORK RECAP

Narrative Network Kicks Off with Creativity, Connection, and Community

In December, we proudly kicked off the Narrative Network—and what a powerful way to bring together our community. It was inspiring to see so many people who share a passion for creative work and great storytelling gathered under one roof for our inaugural event.

The evening reinforced what we strongly believe: storytelling and creative talent are essential to growing a thriving tech and innovation ecosystem. By bringing together entrepreneurs, creatives, and storytellers, the Narrative Network is helping shape how our region is seen, heard, and experienced—and this kickoff was a perfect example of that vision in action.

A huge shout-out to Nora Bryant and Lauren Guess of State & Tell for organizing such a great evening. Events like this remind us that stories, creative work, and meaningful connections always come first.

The Narrative Network is a different kind of networking—one rooted in storytelling, design, photography, video, music, PR, writing, art, and more. Other regions are already investing in storytelling as a key driver of economic development, and we believe our region can’t afford not to do the same. And if we’re going to do it, we might as well have fun doing it.

More to come in 2026—we’re just getting started. For more information email us HERE.
