Minding the Family Business
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
We’re continuing production on our new film about Family Businesses. We went to Alabama last week to spend time with three generations of the Cook family.
With Wade Myers (the film’s host) in the background, TJ checks the audio settings…

Mark dials in the camera settings…

TJ shoots b-roll in the back office…

Mark shoots steadi-tracker coverage of a company vehicle leaving the lot…

And Mrs. Cook shares about the journey since her recently-deceased husband took over the business in 1950, when Cooks Pest Control had one office (their house) and one employee…

Today, Cooks has 33 district offices, 1300 employees, and the unshakeable foundation of a family business rooted in honoring God in every facet of their operation.

We’ll continue shooting in March and April, then look for this exciting new film, featuring the expert analysis of Harvard MBA and serial entrepreneur Wade Myers, by mid-summer.
