The Evergreen Experience with Canlis and Freeman

The Evergreen Experience with Canlis and Freeman

In the inaugural episode of The Evergreen Experience™ 2020, Tugboat Institute Founder & CEO Dave Whorton is joined by Brian Canlis, President and Co-Owner, Canlis, and Carrie Freeman Parsons, Chair, Freeman, to discuss how these two Evergreen®, family-owned companies have been impacted by and adapted to the COVID-19 shutdown.

Both businesses represent industries especially hard-hit by this crisis—restaurants (Canlis) and major event management (Freeman)—and both adapted and reimagined their companies, displaying inspiring resiliency rooted in their Purpose and enabled by their Evergreen values.
