Mrs. Perdue is the daughter of one family business titan (her father founded the Sheraton Hotel Chain) and the widow of another, (her late husband was the family business poultry magnate, Frank Perdue), and she is also a businesswoman in her own right. She started the family wine grape business, now one of the larger suppliers of wine grapes in California. Mitzi likes nothing better than to share insider tips for successful family businesses.

These two families have a combined tradition of 276 years of staying together as a family. Mrs. Perdue is happy to share actionable advice on how they created and maintained their family businesses.
