Like so many small business owners, Jerry Lasco is fighting for his family, his employees and his community during this age of COVID-19. Forced to furlough many of the 500 workers who keep his popular Houston restaurants going, Jerry started looking for ways to help them and other hospitality workers survive. This isn't the first time he's had to pick up the pieces and re-think how to move forward. The last time was on 9/11 when he was an airline pilot who lost his job that day. He's now using that grit, resilience and lessons learned to tackle this new crisis head on, leading with his humanity.
