Elevating Safety, Anchoring Legacy with Premier Building Anchors


What happens when tradesmen turn frustration into innovation? Out of past conversations on this very podcast, a new partnership emerged—one that’s raising the bar for safety and growth across Philadelphia’s skyline.


In this episode of Constructing Greatness, Nick reconnects with Anthony and John Zurzolo and John McCarroll, whose earlier appearances remain among the show’s most downloaded. Since then, their journeys from window cleaning and construction management to entrepreneurship have led to the launch of Premier Building Anchors, a company already making a mark just 18 months in.


They share how hard work, family values, and relentless drive turned a simple idea into a thriving enterprise that now supports dozens of employees and their families. More than anchors and inspections, their story is about responsibility, legacy, and proving that the trades can create wealth, opportunity, and community impact.
