We are joined on this episode by Nancy Palmer. A double major in religion and philosophy from the University of Georgia, Nancy has certainly taken the road less traveled to a career making history. Like many college graduates, she was unsure exactly what she wanted to do after college, however, unbeknownst to her, string of jobs as a sommelier, restaurant consultant, and food and beverage writer paved the way to her current role as the Executive Director for the Georgia Craft Brewers’ Guild.

In her role, Nancy oversees fundraising and development initiatives that call upon her previous experience in the beverage industry and expertise in marketing, legal, regulatory, and legislative areas. She recently spearheaded a major legislative initiative to modernize tasting room laws for Georgia breweries allowing brewers to remain competitive in the Southeast. In 2018, she also became the first woman to win the Brewer’s Association’s Defense of the Industry Award.

What I love most about this episode is hearing how Nancy took a very indirect, adventurous path and made it her own. It’s my hope that this episode reaches recent college graduates who are unclear or uncertain about their future career paths and that, after listening to Nancy’s journey, they have some reassurance that their own journey will come together – and quite possibly even more beautiful than they can imagine.
