Built to Outlast explores the journeys and companies of business builders, with a focus on traditional small to mid-sized business niches in America and the strategies which allow those businesses and builders to endure and flourish. We progress from a surface level of understanding to a deeper level in order to provide knowledge, insight, and learnings that are shared amongst our community. Our episodes focus on personal motivations, journeys, and growth, as well as key drivers of the business model(s), value chain positioning, moat and sources of enduring returns on capital.
Our goal is to build content, tools and a community that supports and empowers what we believe is the backbone of America: business builders and doers, on their journey.

Jonathan is the Founder of Arch Fellow LLC and the youngest first-generation Asian American owner / operator of McDonald’s in the US. We discuss how growing up in a household that valued certainty and the traditional path ran counter to his entrepreneurial drive, and how this friction manifested in a powerful lifelong motivator. We trace his journey from cell phones, to children’s toys, to tea franchises, to McDonald's franchises, and how his early lessons on initiative, relationships, and grit have been impactful throughout this journey.
Leave something for BTO community: Always be willing to challenge the status quo.
Ask something of BTO community: I am eager to continuously learn from new and smart people in different industries.
