Fawn Weaver: Founder Uncle Nearest Whiskey

Go for a walk and learn how this confident, strong and fascinating woman starts one of the fastest-growing (and one of few female-led) premium whiskey companies because she was inspired by a story about Jack Daniels and the talent behind his success. Fawn grew up in LA surrounded by Motown luminaries as her dad was a very successful songwriter and record producer which is fun to hear about. But what she did after leaving home is so incredible. Aside from making great spirits now, she is the founder of several companies as well as a published author. I love that she believes in fate and lets her emotions guide her business decisions to some degree.
