EP02: MIRANDA WHITCOMB PONTES

This week I’m speaking with Miranda Whitcomb Pontes. A self-described serial entrepreneur, Miranda’s imprint and influence on the Nashville restaurant and hospitality scene is immeasurable. There are a few people in this world who can carry themselves on their first name alone, and in my experience, Miranda is certainly one of them.

As I mention in our discussion, you could throw a rock in Nashville and it would be impossible not to hit someone who has either worked for or has visited one of the restaurants she helped bring to life. In 2012, she suffered a very personal tragedy in a very public way and not only had to endure the fallout from that tragedy, but find a way to pick herself up, and with the help of the community, continue to keep moving forward and ultimately thrive.

Miranda’s story is proof that success can be defined in many different ways and is also more often than not created through unconventional choices and taking paths where the outcome isn’t always clear, but the instinct and feeling behind those choices always is..
