Our guest today is my new friend…. Mitzi Perdue

Mitzi Perdue knows that every family business has a culture. The question is, does this culture come about by design or by default? The ones that come about by default rarely support keeping the family business in the family across the generations.

So, what can a family do to develop and strengthen a culture that will support their deepest goals and values?

Mitzi Perdue draws on the experience of her family of origin, the Henderson Estate Company which dates back to 1840 and was the forerunner of the Sheraton Hotels (her father was co-founder of the chain). She also looks to her marital family (she’s the widow of Frank Perdue from Perdue Farms) that began in 1920.

Mitzi’s talks contain practical tips for embedding a positive culture. She’s been a part of carrying out all of them, and in some cases, creating them. These are tips that work, they’re practical, and they can make a spectacular difference in whether the family continues across the generations, or becomes one of the 70% that fails to pass on their legacy to the next generation.

Mitzi is a businesswoman, author, and a master story teller. She holds degrees from Harvard University and George Washington University, is a past president of the 40,000 member American Agri-Women and was one of the U.S. Delegates to the United Nations Conference on Women in Nairobi. She currently writes for the Association of Foreign Press Correspondents and hosts EarthX TV’s show, The Pen and the Planet.

Most recently, she’s authored Tough Man, Tender Chicken: Business and Life Lessons from Frank Perdue. The book made #5 on Amazon’s Business Biographies, out of a field of 20,000. She’s also the author of, I Didn’t Bargain for This, her story of growing up as a hotel heiress.

Our guest today is my new friend…. DJ Clinton Sparks

Clinton began his career as a DJ on Boston’s Hot 97.7 in 2000. From there, he expanded his popular Smashtime radio show by self syndicating it to other radio stations which included Hot 93.7 in Connecticut and 92Q in Baltimore. The success and popularity of his radio show earned him multiple radio awards from East Coast Radio DJ of the year to Mixshow Radio DJ of the year at the annual Mixshow Power Summit, which was the Grammy’s for DJ’s in the early 2000’s. 

He collaborated on projects with artists such as Kanye West,  Eminem, Lil’Jon, 50 Cent and Talib Kweli. These projects earned him recognition and a mixtape award at the annual Justo’s Mixtape Awards in New York City.

Clinton discovered and signed a French DJ by the name of DJ Snake. Together they produced platinum records and worked with everyone from T-Pain, Pitbull, Tyrese, Plies and Lady Gaga. Inevitably, Clinton would introduce Snake to Lil’Jon and that relationship would later produce one of the biggest records of 2014, “Turn Down For What.

Clinton wrote and produced his first Billboard charting record for Akon titled, “Sorry, Blame it on Me” which entered the charts at #7. He also produced the single “Down In Tha Dirty” by Ludacris featuring Rick Ross and Bun B and was featured in the music video.

In 2019, Clinton became CEO and co-founder of Get Familiar Tech and welcomed his daughter Sofi Sparks into the world.

In 2020, Clinton invested in and became Head of Business Development for a new start up social sports betting app called, FanUp. He also officially launched his marketing firm, Get Familiar, Inc. On July 16th, Clinton announced his new esports and lifestyle gaming brand, XSET which he co-founded and co-owns with partners Greg Selkoe, Wil Eddins, and Marco Mereu via a feature in The New York Times.

Craig wants to help. His mission is to empower leaders to take action by introducing them to a new secret weapon: the wisdom of others!
