In this episode of Choose the Bear, I talk with historian and bestselling author Tilar J. Mazzeo about one of my long-time heroes: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, better known as The Widow Clicquot.Tilar’s book, The Widow Clicquot, first introduced me to this visionary 19th-century businesswoman who revolutionized the champagne industry—and changed the way I think about legacy and independence.
