Luvvie speaks to Fawn Weaver, the brilliant mind behind Uncle Nearest Whiskey, for an episode that is simply soul food. They go deep on how she left home at 15, and then finds meaning in life, while laying in a hospital bed. They talk about faith, purpose, obedience, legacy, and how she has been able to build a billion dollar company, while maintaining deep, divine peace. Luvvie says “this might be the best podcast episode I’ve ever recorded” because this one is special.
