Uncle Nearest, Public Failure, and the Lessons of Resilience

On this episode of Feminine and Formidable, Sara Williams and Kira Fonteneau get candid about the power of failure—personal, professional, and public. From Sara’s story of failing out of Florida State before rebuilding her path to law school, to Kira’s controversial firing after founding Alabama’s first public defender’s office, the hosts unpack what it means to stumble in the spotlight and still rise stronger. They also examine the ongoing controversy with Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, exploring how female founders—especially Black women—are judged more harshly when their companies face setbacks. Along the way, they share lessons on resilience, business growth, and how to separate personal identity from professional failures. This conversation is a reminder that failure is not the end—it’s part of the process. Whether in law, entrepreneurship, or life, it’s how you recover that defines your legacy.
