In this episode we visit with John Ghermezian, a member of the visionary family that created Mall of America. John shares his family’s inspiring story of how they turned their dream into a reality in Minnesota. He discusses the challenges they faced along the way and how they overcame those challenges with the help of a dedicated team, and a strong family support system.
We delve into the Ghermezian family’s motivation for building Mall of America, their values and how they have maintained their vision over the past thirty years. John explains how the Mall has built a culture that aligns with the family’s values and how that has been a driving force behind the success.
