In this powerful episode of the Orange County Power Players Podcast, Danny Flores sits down with Javier Vasquez, President and CEO of Miguel’s Restaurants, for a deep-dive conversation on legacy, leadership, and long-term vision in the family business space. Javier shares the incredible story of how his immigrant parents founded Miguel’s in 1974, and how he stepped in after graduating from USC to scale the brand from six locations to over two dozen.
Javier reflects on the challenges of family business succession, the power of storytelling in leadership, and the importance of building company culture that supports longevity and low turnover. He also speaks candidly about pivoting during times of economic uncertainty and what it takes to future-proof a business in today’s fast-changing world.
This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, second-generation business leaders, and anyone passionate about creating sustainable growth with purpose.
