001: How to Exit Your Businesses Without Sacrificing Company Culture with Mitzi Perdue

Welcome to the very first episode of Find Your Exit, a podcast about how to successfully exit your business. Each month, I'll be interviewing industry experts and entrepreneurs who have reached independence by building and exiting successful, profitable, and sustainable businesses.  Today, our guest is Mitzi Perdue. Mitzi is an author, syndicated columnist, and a producer and host of many TV and radio shows. She's also a landowner, a rice farmer, and a philanthropist. Her father was the co-founder of the Sheraton Hotel chain, and she's also the widow of Frank Perdue, whose Perdue farms date back to 1920. In both companies, family members in each generation put enormous effort into creating and maintaining strong value-based cultures.  Today, Mizi joins the podcast to talk about the common skills her father and husband had that made them both hugely successful businessmen, how she built (and exited) a company of her own, and how great company culture has the power to turn failures into massive triumphs and cement legacies for decades to come.   Get the full show notes MarkKravietz.com   Subscribe, Rate & Review the Podcast MarkKravietz.com/subscribe
