Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode, Brittany sits down with Nayana Ferguson, co-founder of Anteel Tequila, to talk about resilience, mindset, and building a business rooted in intention.

This conversation goes far beyond spirits. Together, they unpack:
What it's really like to launch and scale a tequila brand
How health challenges influenced product development and clean ingredients
The realities of entrepreneurship, pivoting, and perseverance
Why asking questions and getting in the room matters
Detroit roots, resilience, and building legacy through adversity
Whether you're an entrepreneur, navigating a major life pivot, or simply curious about what it takes to build something meaningful against the odds, this episode is a powerful reminder that resilience isn't loud, it's consistent.
🎧 Listen in for an honest, inspiring conversation about health, hustle, and building a business that supports your life — not the other way around.
