Somewhere between “might as well go for it” and the “Midas Touch” turning the smallest of items into pure gold, you’ll find Midas Well Entertainment – a family-owned, Georgia-based company founded by Robert Burgess Sr. Quite literally, hoping to strike gold by creating, producing and distributing several types of creative intellectual properties, the business was built on the foundation of ideas and dreams, reaching back to the 1980s.

When MWE first started, the President and CEO of the company, Robert Burgess began seeking ways to bring his creative ideas to life. Somewhere along the way, he was able to define his “why”. Why did he start the business in the first place? Why did he want to bring his ideas to life? Why did any of it matter? Ultimately, the answer to all these questions was and still is, family. With that, he decided to stop trying to make it all happen on his own, and to move forward with his reason why…his family.

In 2019, Robert, his wife Cynthia, and their two sons and daughter, Robert Jr (affectionately known as BJ), Jared and Candace joined forces to take Midas Well to new heights. While Robert viewed working with and for his reason as a gift in and of itself, the decision came with a few added benefits. Cynthia brought knowledge on bringing products to market and marketing. Robert Jr studied Film and Video and is a talented screenwriter. Candace is a singer/songwriter and has a background in Project Management. Jared is the ultimate gamer and is also a talented writer. With everyone’s talents combined, Midas Well has all its bases covered – from TV to movies, from books to games and music, and from concept to market, each member of the family has their finger on the pulse of a creative avenue that Midas Well will pursue. Robert knew that with this small but mighty team, there was a wealth of knowledge and huge potential for success.

Now, Midas Well Entertainment is excited to share the first project to market– The Glowberry Bears – The Legend of Little Glow- the first book of what is expected to be a successful book and TV series. There have been several iterations of the Glowberry Bears from when it was first conceptualized in 1987. Now in 2023, the book is a beautiful display of Midas Well Entertainment’s current vision, passion and creativity. The best part – it is the product of a collective vision shared by a group that also has a collective “reason why”. Keeping family first is the reason Midas Well is where it is today and will be the reason for all the touches of gold to come!
