On this week’s podcast we have special guests Stephanie Stuckey, CEO of Stuckey’s Corporation and Nick Purdy, President of Wild Heaven Beer. We discuss how collaboration and partnerships help develop great leaders. I share a glass of Pop-n-Pie from Armadillo Ale Works in Denton, TX.

Stephanie is CEO and granddaughter of founder of Stuckey's Corporation, roadside oasis since 1937, offers motorists a friendly stop where they can relax, refresh, and refuel. Known for their Southern hospitality and candies, especially our world-famous pecan log roll. The company fell out of family hands for decades, but is back and rebuilding this classic, nostalgic brand!

Nick spent 15 years as the Founding Publisher of award-winning pop culture media company Paste, called “America’s finest music magazine” by the Wall Street Journal and a four-time National Magazine Award nominee. Nick’s background is in marketing and media, including stints in advertising and also in consulting with Deloitte & Touche. Nick also founded media consultancy On The Square Media and has worked with various clients including the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and NoiseTrade.com. Nick has commented numerous times on CNN Headline News as well as in music documentary Before the Music Dies and other music-related TV projects.
