Welcome to How Leaders Lead. I'm Kula Callahan here to bring you another edition of three more questions with David Novak.

0:05.8

David, we've got a fun one to debrief today. We're talking about your conversation with Fawn Weaver.

0:11.0

She's the founder and CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. And this woman is a freaking powerhouse of a leader.

0:18.9

You're right about that, Kula. She is just an absolute force of nature.

0:24.4

And there's nothing that has ever gotten her in her way to really pursue the thing that

0:29.5

she wants to get done.

0:31.8

And I think this is a podcast that everybody should listen to because her entire life is just a story of leadership and

you know how to innovate and how to overcome adversity and and just how to I don't really make a

1:24.7

afterwards to tell me just how right she was. And guess what? She was

1:29.2

right. There was no question about that. She knows her stuff. That is for sure. Her energy is so contagious.

1:34.4

So if you haven't listened to the episode, definitely go back and give it a listen. It's episode

1:39.2

210. Today, though, David, I've got three more questions for you. Are you ready?

1:43.6

All right. Let's go with number one. Here we are.

1:51.4

Question one. Fawn and her team just built out a $50 million distillery in Shelbyville, Tennessee,
