There’s nothing normal about Charlie Nelson’s story of finding purpose. He was 21 years old when  he and his brother discovered a roadside historical marker 25 miles north of where they were raised. The historical marker had his name on it. It was the first time he’d ever heard that his triple-great grandfather was a whiskey mogul in the late 1800s and ran one of the largest whiskey producers in the country. All the history was lost in prohibition. So, Charlie spent his entire 20s and 30s rebuilding that family legacy.

This episode is for you if: 
-You're a sucker for wild stories
-You're a big fan of Belle Meade Bourbon (NGB's best-selling spirit)
-You resonate with the winding path Charlie Nelson took to finding purpose

What's in this episode?
Charlie talks at length about some pretty wild stories, like how he got a bartending job in Paris without really speaking French and backpacking in Southeast Asia near the Mekong.

He also details the moment he realized his purpose in life: to resurrect a rich family history in distilled spirits that lie dormant for nearly 100 years.

Between his family stories and his personal journey, he'll have you hanging on every word.
