Inspire Featuring Angie Fenton

Inspire: Stories That Lift and Empower

Presented by The Chamber of St. Matthews

Inspire is a powerful quarterly breakfast series showcasing the incredible stories of noteworthy businesswomen in our community. From tales of hope and resilience to moments of opportunity and triumph, each event is a chance to connect, engage, and be inspired in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Now in its 7th year, Inspire continues to deliver:

  • Heartfelt personal stories that reveal the journeys behind professional success.
  • Engaging conversations that leave you uplifted and motivated.
  • A chance to laugh, shed a tear, and feel empowered alongside a supportive community.
About our speaker: 

Angie Fenton is CEO of Extol, a media production and marketing company she co-founded in 2014. She is also host of “This Is SoIN,” a weekly television show highlighting Southern Indiana; host of “Extol Live,” a weekly livestreaming show; and cohosts “Extol Unfiltered,” a livestreaming Monday morning show with Meteorologist Ben Peine.

Angie spent 2024 fighting for her life, her business, and her family after receiving a cancer diagnosis one week before Christmas 2023. In spite of the challenges the disease presented, Angie faced the journey with positivity and grit and turned adversity into an opportunity to advocate for herself and others. She has emerged on a mission to embrace each day with gratitude and a newfound fierceness.

Angie is the youngest of five siblings and was raised by a single mother who believed in empowering others as we empower ourselves. An award-winning entrepreneur, Angie uses her own successes — and failures — as the foundation to lift others on their respective journeys in business and in life.

Angie previously served as the on-air host of a weekday morning television show on Louisville’s ABC affiliate before walking away from a job she loved to devote herself full-time to Extol – a decision she’s never regretted. Angie has freelanced as on-camera talent for nationally known companies and served as editor of two regional publications. A Michigan native, she moved to Metro Louisville in 2002, where she spent much of her time working in many facets of the media but has a background rooted in academia. She earned a bachelor’s and master’s in English Language and Literature from Central Michigan University and has experience in the collegiate-level classroom as an instructor.

 

Angie is known for being active in the community as an advocate for people and animals and regularly donates her time to nonprofits and community causes. Angie and her husband, Jason Applegate, live in New Albany, Indiana, with their powerhouse of a 9-year-old named Olive and a menagerie of furry family members.
