Uncle Nearest CEO, Fawn Weaver, is Taking the Spirits Industry By Storm

“GET YA BUSINESS PLAN TOGETHER!”

That’s Fawn Weaver’s number one piece of advice for other Black spirit owners or those looking to start their own brands!

It was such a pleasure to sit down with Fawn, Uncle Nearest Whiskey’s powerhouse CEO and Co-Founder. Uncle Nearest Whiskey is not only the fastest-growing independent whiskey brand in U.S. history, but it’s also the world’s first major spirits brands to be helmed by a Black woman and an all-women leadership team. Wow!

In addition to talking about the business of Uncle Nearest, Fawn gives me her daily ritual and tells me what she likes to do in her down time (hint: a whole lot of nothing!).

I fan girl’d before, during and after this interview! Fawn is all kinds of goals. Watch this interview and prepare to be motivated!
