Meet Frank ” Franko” Woods | Owner of Carver Cigar Co

We had the good fortune of connecting with Frank ” Franko” Woods and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Frank ” Franko”, how do you think about risk?
I think Risk are a vital component to success, You try to calculate them but sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling. I can honestly that the times that I did not take a risk left me with a feeling of regret or wondering what if?

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Looking back my career I can honestly say that I was “fast tracked into becoming an executive for a fortune 50 company. This ultimately fed my desire to become an entrepreneur. As a young man in my Late 20’s and early 30’s I experienced several highs and lows and I had to opportunity to report to a few dynamic leaders ( 3 to be exact) Everything from promotions, mergers and acquisitions, laying off staff and even cooperate politics. At time it was very difficult to navigate through. As I became older I started to appreciate the lows just as much as the highs, The reason I say this is because each low came with a valuable lesson. Now I would ask anyone who has experienced a tough time, what they learned from it?

One thing that I discovered about myself during these times, is that I am a highly competitive person. In order to meet to defeat any significant challenge I must treat it as a game that will will require my best effort in order to win.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story? I would want the world to know how thankful I am for each and every supporter . Your support made a Father and Sons dream become a reality!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Wow Great Question! First we may go check out a game, ( Bulldogs, Hawks Falcons, Braves etc.) , I am a HUGE foodie so we would several spots like Continent ATL on Buford hwy. Great, Music, Bar, Food and they carry our cigars in their lounge. We would maybe hit a few Cigar Lounges, Like Southside Premium Cigars or Good Fellas Cigars on the Southside, great places to relax and unwind! This city has so much to offer so it would never be a dull moment.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost I have to give a shout out to the man upstairs! Additional I’d like to give a shout out to everyone that supported our company. I don’t want to leave anyone out because there are so many. Without you none of this would be possible
