Happy Hour Vibes Is Rewriting Richmond Networking One Party at a Time
Richmond has never been short on networking events, but Happy Hour Vibes on K101.2 Pop Richmond is proving that connection does not have to feel like a chore. Created by Barry Farmer of Farmer Company Media and Louise Keeton of Lou Affirms, the show was built on a simple idea. Traditional networking is overdue for a reset.
Instead of guest speakers, rigid agendas, or the pressure to meet everyone in the room, Happy Hour Vibes flips the format into something more natural and more effective. The goal is not business to business small talk. It is business to consumer connection, designed to put local brands directly in front of the people most likely to support them. Their next customers.
Hosted by Louise Keeton alongside Chef Gianna Stanley and Karie, owner of Shaken Not Spurred, the experience feels less like a panel and more like an on air celebration. The show gives entrepreneurs a chance to introduce themselves in a way that actually sticks. Not just what they sell, but who they are, what they stand for, and the journey that brought their business to life. That storytelling element is what turns listeners into loyal supporters, because community does not rally around logos. It rallies around people.
What truly sets Happy Hour Vibes apart is its creativity. This is not a polite interview hour. It is a party on air, complete with playful games like Never Have I Ever, Truth or Dare, and even a version of PONG that keeps the energy high and the conversations real. The result is a rare blend of entertainment and entrepreneurship, where the laughs are genuine, the personalities shine, and the brands become memorable.
At its core, Happy Hour Vibes reinforces what Farmer Company Media and K101.2 Pop Richmond continue to stand for. Community first, always, and a willingness to think outside the box to help Richmond locals thrive as entrepreneurs and as consumers looking for great businesses to support.
Happy Hour Vibes airs daily, hosted by Lou Affirms, and the Happy Hour Vibes networking show airs the first Thursday of every month, bringing Richmond together, one good vibe at a time.
