In this episode of The Dona KAPP Show, host Dona Kappmeyer sits down with Cherie Werner, Founder and Chief Empowerment Officer of FIESTA, to explore the power of human connection, community building, and the ripple effect of meaningful relationships.

After spending years as a stay-at-home mom, Cherie reinvented herself at 55 and turned her search for belonging and purpose into a thriving community that brings together founders, investors, entrepreneurs, startups, tech professionals, and newcomers in Austin, Texas. Through FIESTA, she creates opportunities for people to connect, collaborate, support one another, and grow together.

Cherie shares how a simple monthly gathering evolved into a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem, why meaningful relationships matter more than traditional networking, and how one introduction can lead to an investment, business partnership, friendship, or life-changing opportunity.

In this conversation, you'll discover:
- How to reinvent yourself and find a new purpose at any stage of life
- The difference between traditional networking and building a genuine community
- Why human connection remains essential in an increasingly AI-driven world
- How FIESTA helps entrepreneurs find investors, mentors, partners, and opportunities
- Why celebrating small wins can help founders navigate uncertainty and self-doubt
- How kindness, generosity, and collaboration create lasting business relationships
- The importance of supporting entrepreneurs through the highs and lows of their journey
- How one clear ask can lead to funding, growth, and unexpected opportunities
- Why meaningful introductions can create a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the initial connection
- How to build a community where people feel welcomed, supported, and valued

Cherie also shares inspiring stories of founders who found opportunities through FIESTA, including an entrepreneur who raised more than $2 million after asking for feedback on her pitch deck, a founder who appeared on Shark Tank, and a couple who met at a FIESTA event and later got married.

Her message is simple: connection begins with clarity, relationships grow through generosity, and opportunities emerge through trust. You don't have to change the entire world to make a difference. Sometimes, helping just one person is enough to start a ripple that continues for years.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, startup founder, business leader, investor, or someone looking to discover a new purpose, this episode offers valuable insights into the power of community, collaboration, and human connection.

Doug Miller’s journey from energy trading at Enron to entrepreneurship in the distilling industry is a powerful story about resilience, mentorship, leadership, listening, and giving back.

In this episode of The Dona Kapp Show on Business Life and the Ripple Effect, Dona Kappmeyer sits down with Doug Miller, Chief Executive Officer at Wildcat Brothers Distilling, to explore the lessons behind his entrepreneurial journey and the relationships that have shaped his life and leadership.

Doug shares what it was like to leave a successful career in energy commodities trading and enter an unfamiliar industry just months before the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. He discusses the challenges of launching a distillery during one of the most difficult periods for businesses, adapting when the original business plan no longer worked, learning from mistakes, restructuring leadership roles, and building a smaller but more productive team.

The conversation also dives deep into the importance of mentorship and continuous learning. Doug explains why one of his core philosophies is “two ears, one mouth, used proportionately,” and how listening can help leaders make better decisions, discover new ideas, and build stronger relationships.

Doug also shares lessons from more than three decades of involvement with Theta Chi, including his experience mentoring college-age men and passing forward the guidance he received from his own mentors.

Other topics discussed include:

• Entrepreneurship and taking a leap of faith
• Leadership lessons from business challenges
• Learning from mistakes and adapting during uncertainty
• The importance of listening as a leader
• Finding and building meaningful mentor relationships
• Why great mentors give more than they receive
• Developing the next generation of leaders
• Collaboration instead of competition
• Building relationships within the distilling industry
• Supporting Louisiana’s distilling community
• Giving back through business
• Supporting veterans and military communities
• Building a business with purpose
• Creating a lasting ripple effect through leadership and mentorship

Doug’s message is simple but powerful: keep learning, stay curious, listen to others, build genuine relationships, and pass forward what others have given you.

What ripple effect will you create?
