359: How to Make Your Family Business Last with Mitzi Perdue

by

When it comes to the people I appreciate the most, it is those who go out of their way to make introductions to people with common goals.

One such person is former guest and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Mark Victor Hansen.

Mark was kind of enough to introduce me recently to his friend Mitzi Perdue. She is a prolific author in her own right, having written numerous books.

She’s also the widow of the late Frank Perdue of Perdue Chicken, and daughter of the co-founder of the Sheraton Hotel chain. To say she’s qualified to discuss the successful leading of family businesses is an understatement.

That’s why I’m so glad Mitzi agreed to come on the show with me to talk about her 2017 book called How to Make Your Family Business Last.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Mitzi and her work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
