On Thursday's show: Government spending isn't just under scrutiny in Washington. We find out what a new study suggests about how the City of Houston could be more efficient.Also this hour: On Feb. 19, Houston's Chester Street Foundation is holding its third annual symposium to help those who work with kids spot and address childhood trauma. We talk with the organization's founder, a survivor of childhood trauma himself, about how a wide range of experiences can traumatize children and affect them in adulthood if not addressed.Then, we're in a fast-changing, amped-up political and social climate right now that has left some Houstonians' stress levels at an all-time high. How can we better manage all that stress?And we learn how research for a book about a 19th century distiller led Fawn Weaver to become the first African-American woman to own a major spirits brand, Uncle Nearest whiskey.

Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, a former slave who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she's since launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business. Fawn stopped by the Southern Living offices on her recent book tour, so we had this conversation in our studio, and her personal journey is just as amazing as the man she's writing about. Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller, is called Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest. Sid talks to Fawn about the process of reporting this incredible book, the foundation she created for Nearest Green's descendants, and why she grew up with people like Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson at her kitchen table.

I met Ambre at the infamous pre-Bar Convent Berlin networking hosted by Thorsten Husmann a couple of years ago, and learned she had just founded the first woman-owned tequila brand in the Netherlands, Lala. Ambre is fascinating: a wellness guru but not woo-woo (very likely due to her no-nonsense Dutch upbringing) who came to love great tequila after living and teaching fancy yoga classes in Williamsburg (of course!) Brooklyn, she got the idea for Lala after avocado toast brunch and many a glass of good tequila, and she  now lives and runs the company from Amsterdam. We had a great chat, covering the CRT controversy around tequila additive labelling, Uncle Nearest whiskey founder Fawn Weaver's baffling Instagram posts on the same topic, grappling with the realities of establishing an all-female supply chain, why I should become a full-time transatlantic Casamigos smuggler, the role of assholes in the workplace, the poverty tourism of trade visitors to mezcal and tequila distilleries, and how to decompress after Athens Bar Show!Enjoy!Ambre on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ambrevandeberg/?hl=enAmbre's website: https://www.ambrevandeberg.com/Lala Tequila on IG: https://www.instagram.com/drinkelala?igsh=MWNkaGJwb2d6aXI5cw==Lala Tequila website: https://www.lalatequila.com/ Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things than their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is, for a few hours.

In a candid discussion about imposter syndrome, Fawn explains why she doesn't believe in the concept, seeing it as a self-fulfilling prophecy rather than a legitimate barrier to success. She reflects on the power of walking into rooms with confidence and the importance of remembering her strong ancestral lineage when facing challenges. Fawn also reveals the true story of Uncle Nearest, correcting myths about Nearest Green and Jack Daniels, and offering a historian's lens on the legacy of Tennessee whiskey. The conversation shifts to the buying power of the Black community and the missed opportunities to create true Black excellence in recent years. She emphasizes the importance of checking our sources in an era where social media can be manipulated to create division, and she shares her relentless mindset when it comes to overcoming hurdles and outperforming the competition. Through it all, Fawn's insights on passion, purpose, and faith shine through, offering an inspiring look at what it takes to succeed at the highest levels.

Since 2017 Fawn Weaver has been building a new global whisky brand from Tennessee in the US, called Uncle Nearest. It stands out because it is inspired by the first known African American master distiller, Nathan “Nearest” Green. He was a former slave who worked very closely with Jack Daniel. It's a story that fascinated Weaver when she first learned about it in 2016, so much so that she relocated from Los Angeles to Tennessee with her husband to learn more about the Green family – and ultimately launch a new spirits brand. That brand hit annual revenues of $100m in 2022. She is something of a trailblazer herself, as a woman of colour leading a major spirits company. She discusses her business journey - from leaving home at age 15 in Los Angeles to the strategies that helped her create a successful challenger brand, in an industry notoriously difficult to break into… Hosted on Acast.

The Whiskey Secret Fawn Weaver, visionary CEO and founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, has made history by creating the fastest-growing American whiskey brand ever. She stands among a rare group—one of only five African American women to lead a $1B+ company in U.S. history.But Fawn's journey is about more than building a business......it's about resurrecting the untold story of Nearest Green, the once-enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel the craft of distilling. Her mission intertwines entrepreneurship with a profound commitment to preserving history, honoring Green's legacy with every bottle.Recently, Fawn once again earned her place on The New York Times Bestsellers list with her latest work, Love and Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest. Since its release on June , the book has captivated readers, holding its spot on the bestseller list for seven consecutive weeks.You'll also discover...How to Cultivate a Resilient MindsetWhy Personal Growth Unlocks SuccessHow to Help Your Team Boost Productivity Amidst ChallengesA Startup Growth TipDinner Cocktail Ideas.Her Entrepreneurial Guiding PrincipleHow to Empower High-Performing Teams-----Follow Fawn on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fawnweaver/ Learn more about Uncle Nearest Whiskey Premium Whiskey: https://unclenearest.com/-----Connect with the Host, #1 bestselling author Ben FanningSpeaking and Training inquiresSubscribe to my Youtube channelLinkedInInstagramTwitter

In 2017 Fawn Weaver launched a premium American whiskey brand, Uncle Nearest. It became the fastest growing and most awarded whiskey brand in America, despite the challenges Weaver faced as a Black woman and outsider to the spirits industry, which is capital-intensive, highly regulated, competitive, and male-dominated. In October 2023, Weaver announced plans to expand into cognac with the goal of building the next major alcoholic beverages conglomerate. But the company was still heavily reliant on capital. How could Weaver convince new investors that her plans for cognac would yield success?

At one point or another, every person in the spirits industry is almost certain to have their career altered, influenced, or shaped by personal relationships. On a business-to-business level, many brands the Park Street Insider Podcast has hosted over the years echo similar sentiments around the crucial role partnerships have played in their trajectory. No brand is constructed in a vacuum, and the long-term success of each is often tied to the quality of partnerships they form with the companies around them at every stage of development. The value of strong brand partnerships is perhaps no more evident than through the brand-building journey of Chris Montana, co-founder of Du Nord Social Spirits. Hailing from Minnesota, Du Nord's growth was boosted by its ability to carefully align with the right partners. Being the first business to graduate from the Nearest & Jack Advancement Initiative, a partnership between Jack Daniel's and Uncle Nearest to increase diversity in the American whiskey industry, Chris was able to leverage this partnership into another: a deal with Delta Airlines. So land a deal with the number one airline in the U.S. and you've made it, right? For Chris, Du Nord found itself in a scenario a bit like when the dog catches the car, having attained a major value-add and needing to learn on the fly how to navigate it. Chris is joined by Andres Correa to piece together how Du Nord was able to attract and navigate the challenges that came with a major partnership with Delta Airlines.

Since 2016, Fawn Weaver has been obsessed with uncovering the true story of Nearest Green, a former slave who helped teach Jack Daniel the complicated process of making whiskey. Along the way, Fawn became so invested in her research that she bought the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniel and Nearest Green worked together, and she's since launched the Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey brand, which is winning awards and making serious waves in the spirits business. Fawn stopped by the Southern Living offices on her recent book tour, so we had this conversation in our studio, and her personal journey is just as amazing as the man she's writing about. Her new book, now a New York Times bestseller, is called Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest. Sid talks to Fawn about the process of reporting this incredible book, the foundation she created for Nearest Green's descendants, and why she grew up with people like Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson at her kitchen table.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes from last year with Fawn Weaver. Fawn is a serial entrepreneur and NYTimes bestselling author, and when she learned about the story of Uncle Nearest Green — the slave who taught Jack Daniel how to distill whiskey — she decided to create a company that would bring his legacy to life.After learning about Uncle Nearest and Jack Daniel's interconnected history, Fawn followed the story down to Tennessee, which led her to purchase the 300-acre farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Nearest taught Jack how to distill. She initially thought of honoring Nearest's story with a book or movie, but decided the best way to preserve his legacy was with a bottle of the best Tennessee whiskey she could make.

Since they launched, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has become the fastest growing whiskey brand in US history, and has over $100+ million in revenue.In our conversation, Fawn discusses the importance of confidence in leadership and success, and what we can all do today to build more confidence in our lives.

Episode 180.2: Garbage Food, Top 10-1980's Fast Food, Pube in a Pizza, Where's the Beef, and Uncle Nearest Bourbon

Fawn Weaver is the Founder and CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. In 2016, Fawn went to Tennessee to interview the descendents of Nearest Green, a former slave and whiskey distiller, for a book project. Fawn's work helped reveal the history of the Jack Daniel's distillery that included Nearest Green as its first Master Distiller and mentor to a young Jack Daniel.This inspired Fawn to found and launch the Nearest Green Distillery, and Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey in 2017, making Fawn the first African-American woman to head a major spirits brand. Uncle Nearest also became the first American spirits brand with an all-female executive team.Over a meal at Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina in Nashville, Tennessee, Fawn tells her story of entrepreneurship, innovation, and a real sense of purpose.Follow To Dine For:Official Website: ToDineForTV.comFacebook: Facebook.com/ToDineForTVInstagram: @ToDineForTVTwitter: @KateSullivanTVEmail: ToDineForTV@gmail.com Thank You to our Sponsors!American National InsuranceFollow Our Guest:Official Site: UncleNearest.comInstagram: @Fawn.WeaverFollow The Restaurant:Official Website: NashvilleBourbonSteak.comFacebook: Nashville Bourbon SteakInstagram: @BourbonSteakNash Hosted on Acast.

In 2016, Fawn Weaver became fixated on a New York Times article telling the little-known story of Nearest Green, a formerly enslaved man who taught Jack Daniel—yes, that Jack Daniel—how to make Tennessee whiskey. After diving deeper into the story, Fawn ended up purchasing the farm in Lynchburg, Tennessee where Nearest had taught Jack how to distill; and she began meeting the descendants of both men. She eventually decided the best way to preserve Nearest's legacy was with a bottle of the best Tennessee whiskey she could make. With no background in distilling, she threw herself into the insular world of spirit-making, an industry mostly dominated by white men. In the eight years since Fawn first discovered his story, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has become one of the fastest-growing whiskey brands in the world, and one of the most awarded American whiskeys.This episode of How I Built This was produced by Liz Metzger and edited by Neva Grant.
