2:42 Well. Today's topic is why We wind w I N E. And my guest is Nicole Anderson. Let me give you just a little bit of background on Nicole Anderson. Nicole Anderson is a wine may speaker and professional marketeer who has definitely blended her passion for wine with her experience as a recent breast cancer survivor to create a brand that is both inspiring and relatable. After being diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. In December of twenty twenty one. Nicole used her diagnosis as an opportunity to explore her own happiness and joy, discovering that a glass of wine was always a comforting part of her treatment journey. Nicole released two new sparkling wines in commemoration of her cancer journey, aptly named A Toast to Me, A Bubbly Reasoning, and limited addition, Bubbly Rose, where proceeds are donated to I Will Survive, which is a nonprofit breast cancer organization. Her wine, which stands for having evolved repeatedly, represents her resilience,

4:14 determination, and creativity. I'd like to introduce my guests, Miss Nicole Anderson. Hello, Hi, how are you. It's so great to have you on the show. I know it took us a little while to get here, but that's okay. We're here now, We are here now. I am doing fantastic, So honored to be here, so excited to have this conversation and to chat while we whine. Absolutely, so let me just get started. One of the things I like to do. I always give the standard bio on my guests, but then I like to ask the guests for them to tell us, So you tell us what you want us to know about Nicole Anderson. Oh man, that's always a that's always a fun one. So for you did such a great job. So I appreciate that introduction. Let alone. I think if I was to add anything to it, I would say that I started out on this journey just as a lover of wine. I have no wine experience prior to this. I started this journey in twenty eighteen making wine at my house, so literally learning how to use kits. I was bored with wine at the time. Everything was muscatto this, muscatto that, and I was like, there's gotta be more.

5:40 And I decided to just give it a shot Google YouTube Academy. I was like, oh, there's people who are making wine at their house and like doing this on their own. Why not? And you know a little with down the line. A few months later, I was able to create my first couple of bottles, and all of the flavors that you guys are tasting, and the wines that are part of the portfolio today are all wines that you know, We're kind of just a thought or something that I played with and came up with that concoction and now here we are. Wow, that's amazing. So how long have you been an entrepreneur? I would say it sounds so silly. I mean honestly, as a child, I've been doing entrepreneurship and dabbling into different endeavors. I was the candy lady in my neighborhood when I was in elementary school, So like, I started really young in building that kind of foundation and interest in entrepreneurship, but with full time just really diving into something that I found passion behind. That really started with this company, with my wine company, and we officially launched in twenty twenties, so right in the midst of the pandemic. Wow. Now, I know this has been a journey for you doing this. Tell us about that journey and what actually brought you into the wine industry. I know you said you were kind of bored with the wines, but tell us about that journey.

7:14 It was. Honestly, it was a lot of fun. So I kind of equate make wine like a science experiment, so to speak. So it's a lot of like putting pieces together and trying to create like the perfectly balanced wine. So it was really interesting when I started, I like I mentioned, started out with wine kids, and I'm very we gotta put something in my heart. Sometimes you just gotta act. Sometimes you can't delay. And I don't like delaying when I feel like something's in my spirit. And so God literally was like try this wine kid, and I saw it online.

7:54 I did not want to wait for it to ship to me. I was so excited to like start this process. So I found a wine store in Georgia that actually sold the kids. Ended up talking to the owner and she predominantly was helping people create beer, but she had experience in creating wine. She offered to let me use her space, to rent out her space to create my wine there and taught me everything, you know, from start to finish. So it was really really amazing to kind of go in and find somebody, you know. It was a spirit that led me to actually being impatient and wanted to start today and led me to finding a location where I could do so. And from there I found out very quickly that Uncle Sam kind of frowns upon h You're selling wine that you make yourself, and you know a prohibition. I was like, oh, yeah, does so.

8:52 So I decided to use twenty nineteen and really twenty twenty to buckle down and get all of my ducks in a row, you know, get all the permitting, find a license on winery, which took time because I entered into this industry again as just a lover of wine and someone who appreciates the process. But up until that point, my experience was going to wine wineries and doing wine tours with my friends, and I had an appreciation for the process, but never an actual formalized knowledge or education. And so there was a lot of doors. There were a lot of nose. There were a lot of we're not interested, we don't want to make your style of wine.

9:35 I heard that a lot before I heard the one yes, and so it took it took over a year, you know, to kind of get to a place where I could find the perfect partner that was willing to curate wines in the style that I wanted, and from there was able to kind of just blossom and flourish. And now we're in stories here in Georgia and we're getting national distribution soon. So we're just we're instantly growing and it's a beautiful thing. Wow, Now I know you said that you kind of knocked on a lot of doors and you got nose. But was it hard for you to get into the wine industry? Do you think because you were a woman or is it just really a hard process to get into that industry? You know, I I don't want to say that there's anything that's too hard to get into. Wine is definitely something that's very traditional, you know, it is the old boys club, so to speak. But I also feel like when you have certain perseverance and you're just not gonna take no for an answer, you'll find a way when you want to. So I never like to say that it's hard to get into the industry because it's not. It takes work, it takes research and time like anything else, but it's possible.

10:56 Now, are there additional barriers that were set up because of my life of experience and knowledge and my color of my skin and my gender. Absolutely, I would be you know, I would not be giving great advice if I said that those things didn't exist and occur. I could tell you off rip. I would speak to different wineries. In the moment that they figured out that I was black, or that I had no wine experience, they were no longer interested and it was no like communication just dies at that point, and so there was a lot of that, a lot of ghosting in the in that community. But I will say that I felt like people were playing hot potato with me. So it was like, oh, once I told them what I wanted, what I was trying to accomplish, it was either oh, we're going to charge you, you know, an arm and a leg and then some or you don't do that, so here, try this person. Oh we don't know that that person doesn't do it. Try this person. So it took a lot of referrals, but it felt like people were just pushing me off until I found the one company that was willing to say, hey, actually I think I got somebody for you, and I think we can do it. Let me see what we can do. Wow.

12:07 Interesting. Now I know that there are a lot of wines out there, there are a lot of wine makers out there. What do you feel makes you different or that sets you apart from them? I love that. So my wine, as you mentioned, it stands for something. So her is actually an acronym and it stands for having evolved repeatedly. And the idea behind that is I wanted to curate something that can follow us along this journey. As we are constantly achieving and pursuing our goals and our passions. Oftentimes we kind of get tunnel vision on that goal and we kind of just tap in and lock in and we don't take time to really appreciate the process, you know. And so each of the wines that I've created, they represent those moments that give us permission to unwind. It gives us permission to prioritize ourselves. And for me, those times, those moments were usually associated with a glass of wine some way, and so I wanted to create those experiences in those moments for others. So each of the wine and represent those moments.

13:20 We have a peach wine right now that's called Finally after five. All of the wines are traditional wines with a twist, so you'll hear a lot of fruit forward names and flavors. And that one pays homage to all of my corporate warriors that are nine to five grinding and those of us that are in the entrepreneurship route and where that were dual rolls, because a lot of us do both. So I wanted to capture what finally after five means for all of us. And the cool unique factor about that one also is it's fifteen percent, so put that into perspective stellar roses or anywhere between five and seven. So you need one good glass, maybe two if you're really dangerous, say you're gonna feel really good. Yes, now you mentioned the peach flavor. What are some of the other flavors that you have? I know you and you also said finally after five, that's so, what are some of the other flavors that you have? We have Mama needs a break.

14:26 So that one is a sweet tinned merlough. It's not sweet, it's very reminiscent to a cabernet. But if you like a good, well balanced, smooth red wine it's not super dry, that's gonna be a fan favorite. And then we have our two sparkling wines as well. So I have the sparkling Reasoning and a sparkling Rose and I named them a toast to me, And the idea there is I really want us to reframe how we choose to celebrate, because a lot of times we'll delay our happiness in that big moment, like I'm gonna wait till this milestone birthday or when I get this promotion or you know, we're always like waiting for the next thing. But anytime every day that we're here, every day that we get to make our impact and push our business or our passions forward, that's the day worthy of celebration.

15:20 So I want us to get into a habit of incorporating and injecting more celebrations for the small things and not just waiting for the one big thing, because it's the compilation of the small things that makes the big thing that more more exciting. So let's celebrate those things. So those two are my newest releases, and they're really awesome because the Rose is dedicated towards my breast cancer journey, and so it's just really cool to be able to give back in that way. Wow. Now, I know you mentioned doing this like during a pandemic or right before. How did COVID influence or affect your wine business? Wow? You know, So I officially launched my business September twenty twenty.

16:04 So Covid served dual purposes for me. Covid allowed me an opportunity to actually focus in and set dedicated time to creating and doing the work that was needed to officially launch it. Because you know, the reality is that their life is full of distractions, and so COVID removed all of that when you're you know, forced inside, and so I really decided intentionally so to take that time to be productive for myself. Adversely, God will say, or in addition to that, outside of just being able to go through the adversities of building a business in the midst of COVID, because that's the whole thing in itself, it actually ended up being such a blessing because you know, there's there's certain businesses that are as we call economically sound or that are recession proof, and I would say that, you know, spirits are definitely something that you know, people during different times lean more into. And so we saw a huge spike in people looking to indulge in different spirits. But that isn't the biggest thing. The biggest thing that came out of COVID, I think was the intentionality of our community as African Americans to really highlight and support one another. For me, what I find or what I've found is coming

17:38 out of COVID came we became a closer community, and there was a lot of support and rally behind small black owned businesses or craft spirits that were something unique and different that people were looking for. And so my brand perfectly aligned in that. Because we're minority own or blooming on, we have a purpose that were driven behind, but we were relatable and I think it offered people were looking for something that was different, that was relatable, that tastes good, that kind of you know, was like a Fubo effect for us bias right, And so for me, I think that's probably the biggest takeaway is the community built that happened as a result of COVID. Wow. So tell me now, I know that you said her wine stands for you have an acronym for that, it's an acronym for something else. How did you come up with the name her whine? Uh? The name her Wine came came out of despair, if I'm being honest. So when I started this business, I actually had my very first like business WHOA my big business blow very early into my business. The name of my business was originally was something else, and we ended up getting sued unrightfully so, but we ended up receiving a season desist from another another winery that was using a similar name. And

19:14 to wrap it with a bow, on it. Essentially there the name was extremely common, and there were other wineries throughout the nation that were using that same likeness. However, they had never pursued any of those businesses that were bigger and that didn't necessarily look like me or were owned by people that look like me. However, they for whatever reason, chose me, and so we had to go through the litigations of fighting for the name and for rights and who's right and who's wrong, and you know, there's just so many different ways that it spent spun up to be. However, as a business owner, you kind of get put in a position. Right. So at that partic icular time, I had just created my new batch of wine.

20:03 I'm ready to go to market. I have spent all this money. Everything up until this point has been self funded. So this is my heart arm writing that I have poured into this business. And all of a sudden, I'm getting a cease and desist from a company that's not even anywhere near where I'm doing my business, and I have to pause everything. And so, as entrepreneurs, the one lesson you learned very early on in business is the art of pivot. And you get a choice, you have to choose. Am I going to stagnate and just you know, fight this thing, figure it out? Do we rebrand and we continue to push the needle as we need to, and we figure this out on the back end, And that's the latter is ultimately what I chose to do. I wanted to continue to build off of the momentum that we had. We just launched in September.

20:52 We get a cease and desist in April, so you know, you're kind of in this pickle of like, just launched this business. I just came up with the name, like and in my head the name was brilliant. So the name was Unwind. That was the name that I had. It was like Unwind with a while. I was like, oh, none can uses that. That's so unique, Like apparently everybody had that same thought, so lesson learned. Definitely look it up, like do your research. But long story short, I ended up winning the case, so I could have used the name. But in the midst of me pivoting and rebranding her came to me because that was what I was doing in that moment, I was evolving. I was in a position where I had to decide, am I going to evolve or repeat. Are we going to evolve or are we going to stay this track and keep the course? And so evolution to me is continuous, it's it's never in one singular area. And it really represented where I was in my transformation in my life, and so I was able to, you know, kind of do a double entanger on the name a little bit, and that's really what kind of birthed her wine. Wow, that is so interesting because some people would have, like you said, given up.

22:11 They you know, they would have been so frustrated that they may have just said, I'm not gonna do this. There were many nights like that. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of tears, a lot of frustrations. But you know, it's when it's your baby, it's your passion, you just wanna That's where grit comes in. That's where where great greatness is birth from adversity, and so sometimes you just gotta pushed through, have faith and keep pushing. Absolutely. Wow. Now, when I was reading your bio, it was mentioned in there that you had the breast cancer and that that was also a part of you starting the wine business. Tell us about that. Yeah, So I, as I mentioned, if we're going through a timeline. I launched this company September twenty twenty. I get hit with the lawsuit in April twenty twenty one, and after that happens, I'm in rebrand mode. I'm in cell mode. And so from April through or for the remainder of twenty twenty one, April through December, I was an extreme hustle mode. I had a nine to five. I was an executive for this corporation, so I had a team of people I'm leading and balancing that on top of building this business that's taking off but does require an extensive time, you know, requirement because we're a team of one. And that was it. So it was your marketing, your sales, your finance,

23:42 your everything. And then on top of that, trying to even you know, my social life was non existent. It was if it wasn't wine, it was nothing. So I fail all that to say that throughout that process, the one thing that fell by the wayside was my health. I was so so consumed with giving and pouring into everybody else. I'm a daughter, I you know, I'm very close to my friends, so they're starting commitments that I have outside of myself just just as being a helper and a you know, citizen and community. And so I was I found myself not pouring from an empty cup. We were like desert dry. There was nothing left for me to give. And when that happens, I feel like your body kind of goes introspectively and starts to eat it yourself. And I wasn't.

24:36 I wasn't drinking water consistently. I'm not eating the right things, like I'm always on the go it's fast food, you know. So I found at the same my stress levels were out of this world and I didn't realize it. And I think that's the big thing that we have to realize an entrepreneurship, as we're as we're going through any success honestly climbing any ladder to reach your goals, your priority of yourself has to be included on your list. Because when it's not health as wealth, it doesn't matter if your business is one hundred million dollars if you're not there to enjoy it. So I had the harsh reality when I felt a lump and dismissed it, never thought about it, like I'd never associated with it, with it being cancer at all.

25:26 But I definitely wasn't paying attention to my body to notice that it existed, and my own detriment because by the time that I did go to the doctor and was diagnosed, I was diagnosed at stage two with triple positive highly aggressive form of cancer. And they told me that in in literally a month, I could go from stage two to stage four. And so that was honestly like the biggest if God could ever just you know, hit you over the head with the something to say, sit down and you need to make some some life decisions. That was the moment. You know, at the time, I was thirty one, so I'm still young. I'm still like just kind of easing into my thirties and figuring getting life figured out. And to be hit with something so detrimental, it's life changing. And I'm very honored, proud, blessed, favored all the things to be here in front of you today and to say I'm cancer free. But through that journey, through that process, it taught me new perspective and to that point, it helped me to create this wine, the Sparkling Rose, in particular that not only is dedicated to a nonprofit that helps women who are dealing single single mothers specifically who are dealing with this type of diagnosis. But it also helped me to give more purpose to my wine because now I want to create joy in a bottle. I want people to find their happiness there. That tie in

26:56 that I always had about this being associated with your mom I'm gonna piece it means something even more to me now because it's like, those are the moments we have to take for ourselves now. I don't care if you're drinking wine or drinking water either way, it's it's more so around the moment that we're creating with this wine. M wow. So doing you know during that period when you were going through that, I guess the wine was like a comfort for you. Is that? Yes? It's so funny because when I go to the to the different doctors and I and you tell them like, oh, what do you do? You know, they just make conversation and I'm a wine drinker and they were like, well, you know, you probably got to pull it back, And I'm like, that's the one thing that makes me happy. We are not taking this off the table. I always have to preface this by saying that it's not necessarily the most recommended thing, but it was something I absolutely look forward to. I don't think that oftentimes in the marketing of cancer, when people talk about it, we don't always go into the details of what chemotherapy is and how harsh it can be on the body. It is a it is truly a drug, a poison that they put through and it doesn't have a compass on what's good or bad sales.

28:21 It just goes for everything. And so for me, it was extremely debilitating and for like two weeks, and I had to do six rounds of chemout every three weeks, and so typically the first two weeks in that three week time span you're down and out, and then the last week you have enough energy and then you gotta go right back and do it again. So I say that to say for me, I found so much comfort and tholace in the moment. I would count down to the day I could drink wine again, and that was the thing to look forward to, because in those moments when you're when you're in your darkest spaces and you're looking for that light at the end of the tunnel, you have to identify what that is, and for me, it was wine. For me, it might have been I would have wine and I would go out to a really good restaurant and get some really good food and that's what I look forward to. So it brought me peace, it brought me happiness, It brought me joy, and that's what saved my life. Just the anticipation in the actual search, in the actual search and identification of what brought me happiness. Wow. Now, I know early on you mentioned someone who kind of helped you as you were getting started. I think they even let you use the part of their facility to work in. So as an entrepreneur, do you recommend having a mentor or coach to help you in business? Absolutely? Absolutely. I have had

29:56 so much fortune in meeting people who are truly invested in helping the success of this business and just mentorship. And oftentimes I think when we think about mentorship we think of it as like a direct tie, like is it somebody that does exactly what you do? But you can find mentors in people that have adjacent, you know, industries. For me, one of my biggest mentors who was really a big inspiration to getting into this industry is a vodka owner Island John Vodka. Kevin really like took me under his wing and taught me the ropes of the spirits industry, and that's you know, that helped me to understand, Okay, these are the overall steps and how to navigate this space from there. Sometimes you find your mentors and people that don't even know that you're watching their steps and watching them. We have to take off the lens or the expectation that mentors have to be like a one to one direction and it's like a like I'm asking you formally to be my mentor. Sometimes that that's a way to do it. There's other ways as well as more informal relationships that you build and you just follow and you befriend people and you learn you know what they're doing. So I have mentors several several several mentors that I call upon that are just women entrepreneurs, women and wine men and

31:26 wine men in spirits, men in business. Like there's I try to find inspiration and mentorship and guidance in anybody who's in a successful state of where I'm trying to be. Now, do you see a lot of women who are in this industry? Are is it more men than women? You know, it's really interesting, I think from the standpoint globally, there's more men in this industry, even though women are main consumers. However, I will say in the African American wine maker space, I've seen a really good blend of it, but I see a very great amount of Black women that are wine makers and wine brand makers in the space, and that brings me a lot of delight to see us as major consumers, like taking our talents and actually creating the products as well that we indulge in. Wow. Now is your product in this area? Like I'm in Maryland? Can I find it in this area? Do you think coming soon? Coming soon? We are inching our way up to Maryland. Right now we're in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, but Maryland the DMV area that's next on our list. You might see us out there at a wine festival this fall. So if anybody's heard of the DC Wine Festival, we will be there this year. And yeah,

32:57 we're just continuing to spread, so definitely come into that area. Wow. So tell us what's next? What do you have on the horizon for you as an entrepreneur? Are you creating anything else? I know you're doing the wines, but is there anything else that you'll be creating. Yes, you know I mentioned and alluded to this earlier, but this's going through this cancer journey. It really puts like life into a different perspective. And for me, it really enlightened how much joy impacts, you know, my health and just me and my overall satisfaction and happiness with life. And so I am in the process now of becoming a happiness coach and setting up different coaching packages to help more people to identify their joy in their life. We have joy journals that are coming out, We have different events that we're doing to help women, specifically Black women priority as ourselves find our joy, find our happiness, and lead it more fulfilling and happier life. Like I it sounds the craziest to say, but I literally have no bad days every day is amazing. I literally ten out of ten on my happiness scale. And people are like, you just came out of this. And when I say just came out of this, I just had my final procedure July twelfth, So this is like we're just inching out of this, this whole journey that's been

34:30 over a year and a half now, and I can't tell you I'm the happiest I've ever been. And it's because I've learned these different practices I'm and these are things that I share with my family, with my friends, and now we're building out this community and so that's the next thing that we're phasing in. Still. So, if you had one piece of advice that you would uh want to give to someone that wanted to get into the wine industry of the one business, what would that piece of advice be. Oh, man, I would actually say to anybody who's interested in getting into the wine industry, do not be afraid of the industry. And what I mean by that is a lot of times we look and we're like, oh, there's already so many wines, and there's so many doesn't matter. Be unique.

35:24 There's no one that's gonna do it like you. And any time that you think about any industry, whether it's it's wine, makeup, whatever the case may be, bring your personality, do it with purpose and passion in mind. When you're leading with a with a energy and with a sense of servitude, it always comes back. So leave and find it with passion and purpose and it will always like the money will find you, the success will find you. But don't be afraid just because the industry is saturated so you think no one's gonna do it like you. Absolutely so, if the viewers and listeners wanted to reach out to you, tell us how they can find you.
