Description

Working for Fawn Weaver isn’t your typical 9 to 5. The founder and CEO of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey operates her business like a family. Think: not just one-on-ones or status meetings, but 24/7 support for employees. So how did she build a company like that? She sought out people who had similar values and fit with her leadership style. And she spent a lot of time on the hiring process. 

In this episode, Fawn shares. 

How she found her leadership style – and learned to stop people-pleasing

Her go-to interview question to determine if someone’s a fit for Uncle Nearest 

Why she won’t hire anyone based off a Zoom interview anymore 

How she tells an employee they aren’t the best fit for her team 

Why a “family” environment doesn’t work for all employees
