Posted • .perlman There's an old saying about family businesses & generational wealth, “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.”
It means the first generation starts with nothing and rolls up their shirtsleeves, works hard & builds wealth, the 2nd generation enjoys that success, but by the time the 3rd generation comes around, they're back to square one, rolling up their shirtsleeves again.
Garret Bedrin is determined to not let that happen at the Bedrin Organization.
His grandfather, Murray, founded the company, initially "Murray's Gift Gallery", in 1947 after earning two Purple Hearts in WWII and landing on the beaches of Normandy.
Since then, the family has been focused on building a diversified, vibrant family business that continues to thrive across generations.
Garret calls it a mix of strategy with a splash luck, but it's clear their success comes from having a great business model, identifying the right partners & tenants, and a lot of passion and hard work.
It's a great story, have a listen @ the link in bio.
