This week’s episode is titled, “Never Give Up!”—a theme that was instilled in today’s guest by her mother. You may have heard about Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, through his books, interviews, and articles. But you probably didn’t know that Truett attributed much of the success of Chick-fil-A to his wife, Jeanette.

I recently had the privilege of having a conversation with Trudy Cathy White, the only daughter of Truett & Jeanette Cathy. Trudy and I will be talking her new book, “A Quiet Strength” a memoir of her mother.

Throughout our conversation together, you will hear stories from Trudy about how Chick-fil-A really got started, the leadership principles that propel the organization, and the “secret sauce” behind the success of Chick-fil-A (hint: it’s has nothing to do with chicken), and really the secret to being successful in life.

We discuss the influence that we all have in life, how to leave your legacy, and living each day with purpose!

Trudy released a new book this spring, “A Quiet Strength: The Life and Legacy of Jeanette M. Cathy”.  We also talked about her book, which describes at not only a memoir of her mother, but also ‘shares Jeanette’s often unbelievable misadventures raising three children on the Cathy farm—from beekeeping fiascos to regularly chasing a pony, a parrot, and a monkey around her living room.’  Wow, and I thought I had a fun childhood!

Again, our conversation centers around Jeanette Cathy’s theme of “Never Give Up!”.  If you struggling to find purpose and meaning in your life, my conversation with Trudy will encourage you to not only find your life’s purpose—because we all have one—but to live it out with passion!

So sit back, take a breather from your day and listen to my interview with Trudy Cathy White…you’ll be glad you did!
