How They Built A Lasting Legacy | John & Ryan Pastor

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. John Pastor and his son Ryan run George H. Pastor and Sons, a Michigan construction company that started in 1925 with a banker who decided he'd rather build houses. Three generations later, they're still going strong, along with a handful of Burger King franchises, a concert venue, and a family foundation that raises money for kids fighting things like epilepsy and brain tumors. In this episode of The 1% Podcast, we covered: → How a family construction company survived the 1980s housing crash → The zoning loophole that got them into the Burger King business → Ryan's brain tumor at age seven and the years it took to recover → Building a church in Michigan's Upper Peninsula during COVID → Why the Pastor family started their own charitable foundation Thanks to John and Ryan for making the drive up and sitting down with us.
