The Great Girlfriends
Part 1:
Great Girlfriends, you are in for a treat! Listen in as Fawn Weaver, CEO of Uncle Nearest Whiskey, shares the journey that led her to be HERSTORY as one of six black women to found and lead a $1B+ company outside of sports and entertainment.
This two-part conversation is about the power of curiosity in the right hands. What happens when a relentless and spirited woman who believes in humanity gains access to an underrepresented narrative? The fullness of that story comes to life as Fawn leads the story of an unsung hero, Nearest Green, into the 21st century, including his family’s recipe for what we now know as Uncle Nearest Whiskey.
“Nobody at any time ever thought, Hey, this might be an interesting story; we should do something with it. Then I realized Keith and I could be those people. I’d read enough business books throughout my formative years to know that sometimes being in the right place at the right time with the right imagination and resources is all it takes. This is a story people are ready to hear, I thought. Maybe WE should do something with it.” – Fawn Weaver, best-selling author of Love and Whiskey
