In this short segment of The Tyler Wagner Show, Mitzi Perdue explains why enduring family businesses require intentional effort to build and maintain a strong family culture. She contrasts families that deliberately cultivate culture with those that let it happen by accident, emphasizing that every family experiences conflict. Drawing on the Henderson family—still in business after 180 years—and her own Perdue family, she outlines a core rule: any disagreement must be aired openly within the family and resolved internally, never taken public or turned over to adversarial lawyers. This approach, she argues, is essential for preserving unity, protecting the business, and ensuring long‑term success.

No such thing. That's— we're human beings. There is conflict. But like in the Henderson family and also in the Perdue family, in both families we have an agreement. And let me remember— remind you that for the Henderson family, it's been in business for 180 years. One of our rules is if there's conflict, get it out in the open. Discuss it, deal with it. But the big rule is you keep the quarrel within the family, because the moment a family becomes public, the moment you have like adversarial lawyers representing different parts of the family
