Matt Faircloth interviews Micah Lacher, President and Founder of Anchor Investments and the force behind Mission Hotels. Micah shares how Anchor evolved into a “radically generous” platform—giving time, expertise, and GP profits to support nonprofits and local communities. He breaks down Mission Hotels’ “Rooms for Rooms” concept (including how their tech-enabled, small-boutique model makes 100% profit-giving possible) and explains how Anchor turns “tired” shopping centers into thriving, modern retail by re-anchoring traffic and adding durable tenants like medical and omni-channel operators. Micah also walks through their off-market deal sourcing, what a “covered land play” means long-term, and why generosity in business is a muscle worth training.
