Fawn and Keith Weaver take us on an unforgettable journey through their love story to becoming the CEO of the most-awarded American whiskey for five years running. Celebrating over twenty years of marriage, they share how their partnership was built on a foundation of deep connection and mutual respect and connection with the Lord. Fawn’s book, “Love and Whiskey,” weaves their personal narrative with the rich history of Uncle Nearest, the first Black master distiller, and his friendship with Jack Daniel. Together, the Weavers are dedicated to preserving this incredible legacy through the Uncle Nearest Distillery and the Nearest Green Foundation, showcasing the power of love, faith, and a shared mission.

Our conversation challenges some common misconceptions surrounding the Proverbs 31 woman, breaking away from the traditional narrative that confines her to domestic duties. Instead, we celebrate her as a savvy businesswoman adept at managing a household with help. This discussion extends to modern biblical interpretations of alcohol, advocating for moderation and joy in contrast to abstinence and negativity. By drawing on our joyful marital experiences, we counter societal norms and grim portrayals of marriage, highlighting the essential elements of mutual sacrifice and happiness that keep love thriving.

Fawn shares insights from both Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” and biblical teachings. They emphasize the importance of shared values, regular connection, and observing the Sabbath to nurture and strengthen a marriage. Drawing from Fawn’s books, “A Happy Wives Club” and “Argument of Free Marriages,” we invite listeners to view relationships as a multiplication of two whole individuals, fostering a dynamic prioritizing intentionality and faith.
