About this episode
Henry Meyer shares his journey of building East Side Fish Fry and his new venture Fortuo in Lansing, Michigan.
East Side Fish Fry is a well-known restaurant in Lansing, Michigan. It wasn't always that way! Henry Meyer is the epitome of "never say quit"! When Henry bought an investment property in Lansing, he intended to rent it out to a small business that was looking to set up shop. There was a problem, the first of many. No one would rent it, so Henry decided to utilize the building, really out of necessity; East Side Fish Fry was born. Listen to this fabulous interview with the man who has dealt with so many troubles; he really should write a book in his spare time. Henry also discusses his newest business, Fortuo , a great marijuana dispensary in Lansing.
