Presented by VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt on The Coffee In The Greenroom Podcast
Welcome to a new entry in our VIP Ignite blog series, where we share highlights from our insightful podcast, “The Coffee In The Greenroom”. In our latest episode, we had the privilege of hosting an extraordinary guest, Mitzi Perdue, a woman whose life story reads like an inspirational novel, rich with chapters of determination, compassion, and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact.
Mitzi Perdue is not just a businesswoman and author; she is a master storyteller who captures the essence of resilience and purposeful living. Her journey, marked by prestigious educational milestones at Harvard University and George Washington University, is just the tip of the iceberg. As a past president of the 40,000-member American Agri-Women and a U.S. Delegate to the United Nations Conference on Women in Nairobi, Mitzi has consistently blazed trails for women in leadership.
For actors, models, musicians, and every aspiring individual represented by VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt, Mitzi’s life offers an encyclopedia of lessons on reaching for excellence.
Through our podcast, we explored her unique perspective on life, shaped by watching her father co-found and lead the Sheraton Hotel chain and observing her late husband, Frank Perdue, grow a modest chicken company into an international conglomerate.
Mitzi’s literary contribution, “RELENTLESS”, further cements her as a storyteller par excellence. The book narrates the life of Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul”, highlighting the transformation from bankruptcy to record-breaking success. This biography, a recipient of ten national book awards, serves as a testament to the power of persistence and belief in oneself.
However, Mitzi’s story extends beyond the realms of business and writing. Her role as a war correspondent took her to Ukraine, not once but twice, where she conducted interviews in bomb shelters amidst active conflict. This experience illuminates her courage and dedication to bringing untold stories to light.
Perhaps one of the most moving moments of our conversation was discussing her recent humanitarian efforts. In December 2022, Mitzi auctioned her Atocha emerald engagement ring for a staggering $1.2 million, directing all proceeds to aid Ukraine. This act of generosity exemplifies her character and commitment to global welfare.
Continuing her mission, Mitzi has initiated a crowdfunding effort for mine-clearing in war-torn regions. This endeavor is not just about clearing landmines; it’s about paving the way for a safer future for countless individuals. To support this cause, she invites everyone to visit DonorSee.com/Ukraine. Each contribution, no matter the size, can lead to significant change.
For our community at VIP Ignite and Truth Mgmt, particularly for those in the acting, modeling, and music industries, Mitzi Perdue’s story resonates deeply. Her life demonstrates that success is not just about personal achievements but also about how we use our platforms and resources to impact the world positively.
As aspiring actors, models, and musicians, there is much to learn from Mitzi’s journey. Her relentless pursuit of excellence, coupled with her compassionate heart, is a blueprint for anyone seeking to make their mark in the world. Her story is a reminder that with determination, empathy, and a willingness to face challenges head-on, we can all lead lives that are not only successful but also meaningful and impactful.
In conclusion, our conversation with Mitzi Perdue was more than just a podcast episode; it was an immersive experience into the life of a woman who embodies strength, grace, and altruism. Her story is a beacon of inspiration for everyone in our VIP Ignite community and beyond. We hope that this blog post has captured the essence of Mitzi’s incredible journey and that her story will inspire you to chase your dreams with relentless passion and a heart full of compassion.
