A Tale of Resilience and Belief: Di Tran’s BELIEF Bourbon and Steven Yeng’s Skrewball Whiskey

In the heart of Louisville, KY, a remarkable meeting took place at Liquor Barn between two extraordinary individuals, Di Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant and proud American, and Steven Yeng, a refugee from Cambodia. Both men, hailing from humble beginnings, have carved out successful paths in the world of entrepreneurship and spirits, showcasing the power of resilience, belief, and the American dream.

Di Tran, a man of many talents, is not only a nurse, licensed nail technician, and computer engineer but also a serial entrepreneur. With a journey that began in dirt-poor Vietnam, Di and his family sought refuge in the United States, where they worked tirelessly to build a better life. Di’s relentless drive and passion for education led him to establish multiple businesses, including the Louisville Beauty Academy and a chain of nail salons, before venturing into the world of bourbon with his exclusive BELIEF collectible bourbon.

On the other side, Steven Yeng’s story mirrors that of Di Tran’s. As a refugee from war-torn Cambodia, Steven grew up in a world far removed from the comforts many take for granted. His fascination with peanut butter, a novel flavor in his new homeland, inspired him to create a best-selling peanut butter whiskey cocktail at his bar and restaurant. Alongside his wife Brittany, a lawyer and chemist, Steven developed Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, a spirit that celebrates diversity and the unconventional paths that lead to success.

The meeting between Di Tran and Steven Yeng was a moment of mutual admiration and recognition of their shared journey from adversity to prosperity. Di Tran, out of excitement and respect, offered Steven a bottle of his BELIEF bourbon, a symbol of their common belief in the power of hard work and determination. Their encounter was a testament to the fact that, regardless of one’s background, success is attainable through perseverance and a strong belief in one’s dreams.

As they exchanged stories and took pictures, Di Tran and Steven Yeng looked forward to future conversations, each wishing the other continued success. Their meeting serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that the American dream is alive and well, fueled by the belief in oneself and the unwavering spirit to overcome obstacles.

In a world where stories of success often overshadow the struggles behind them, the tales of Di Tran and Steven Yeng stand as beacons of hope, reminding us that from the most challenging circumstances can emerge the most remarkable achievements. Here’s to the dreamers, the believers, and the trailblazers who show us that anything is possible when you hold onto your belief and strive for greatness.

The Essence of Belief: Di Tran Bourbon’s Limited-Edition Legacy

In the heart of Kentucky, a new star has risen in the bourbon firmament: Di Tran Bourbon Belief, a distillation not just of grain and barrel but of conviction and camaraderie. With a bold release of only 200 bottles, Di Tran has crafted more than a spirit; he has bottled the essence of entrepreneurship and the spirit of human connection.

Di Tran Bourbon is not just a drink; it’s a narrative of passion, distilled to perfection. The inaugural edition, “BELIEF,” is a testament to the company’s core philosophy: that everything begins and ends with belief. This limited batch is not just a beverage; it’s a celebration of the shared belief in the magic of a moment, the warmth of companionship, and the simple pleasure of a shared sip.

Di Tran, the visionary behind this elixir, insists that “BELIEF” is an homage to the power of togetherness. He says, “A sip of bourbon with a friend starts with belief in the power of companionship, the enjoyment of simply being there and sharing the joy and moment with each other. Bourbon tends to boost this feeling.”

But “BELIEF” is more than an inaugural product; it’s the cornerstone of Di Tran’s entrepreneurial spirit. As Di Tran Enterprises continues to launch ventures in health, education, and beauty, the ethos remains the same: all endeavors are rooted in the belief of serving others and enhancing the value of each life touched. This philosophy is woven into the very fabric of the company’s ventures, and “BELIEF” bourbon is its liquid embodiment.

Founded in the Beechmond area of Louisville, Kentucky, within the 40214 zip code, located in the southern region of Louisville.

Purity is a principle that Di Tran holds dear, especially when it comes to bourbon. “BELIEF” is a barrel-proof bourbon, unadulterated, capturing the raw integrity of its ingredients. Each bottle is a labor of love, watched over by Di Tran from barrel to bottle, sealed and waxed with meticulous attention to detail.

This super rare, 8-year-old bourbon is not just a collector’s delight; it’s a beacon of generosity. Priced at an MSRP of $125, Di Tran’s intention is to share this treasure with bourbon enthusiasts and support nonprofit organizations through fundraising.

The clock is ticking, and only a few bottles remain. For those who wish to savor this expression of belief, to own a piece of Di Tran’s dream, the time to act is now.

A Day of Resonance and Inspiration: Meeting Brittany Penny and her Husband at the Rotary Club of Louisville

At the heart of Kentucky, where the love for bourbon is as deep as its historical roots, the Rotary Club of Louisville’s weekly meeting at the Woman Club of Louisville provided a stage for an inspiring encounter. Among the distinguished attendees were Brittany Penny, the founder of IX Bourbon Whiskey, and her husband, who together are making waves in the traditionally male-dominated bourbon industry.

Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Brittany developed a deep appreciation for bourbon, sparked by her father’s extensive knowledge and collection. Her passion for bourbon took a business turn in 2020 during her pregnancy when she was able to discern different aroma profiles from her husband’s bourbon collection. Guided by these newly discovered nuances, she took a leap of faith and, with the unwavering support of her husband, launched IX Bourbon Whiskey. It was not just about creating a unique brand of bourbon, but about disrupting an industry and paving the way for female entrepreneurs.

For the members of the Rotary Club of Louisville, and especially for serial entrepreneur and soon-to-be bourbon brand owner Di Tran, this tale of perseverance and determination hit a powerful chord. Like the Pennys, Tran is no stranger to the challenges of establishing a new brand, navigating the complexities of sourcing bourbon, bottling, and marketing. The meeting served as a platform for shared experiences, struggles, and triumphs.

What resonated with Tran was Brittany’s ethos, “Be yourself, flaw and all.” This maxim aligns perfectly with Tran’s own philosophy, set to be shared in his forthcoming book, “Drop the FEAR and Focus on the FAITH.” The book embraces the concept of learning from failures, appreciating them, and the strength found in rising from them.

Tran’s soon-to-be-released bourbon, named Belief, shares this essence of embracing challenges and rising above. It represents not just a product but a philosophy, a testament to Tran’s journey of faith and determination, akin to Brittany’s endeavor with IX Bourbon Whiskey.

The Penny’s story of daring to dream and challenge the status quo, and their demonstration of remarkable resilience, reflects a shared ethos with Di Tran. In Brittany, Tran found not just an inspiring entrepreneur, but also a mirror reflecting his own beliefs and values.

The Rotary Club meeting was more than just a gathering; it was an affirmation of shared values, of resilience, and a testament to the spirit of entrepreneurship. The stories of Brittany Penny and Di Tran serve as a reminder of the power of faith and perseverance, the importance of learning from failures, and the potential that lies in daring to dream.
