When Andy Taylor, Executive Chairman at Enterprise Holdings, was a young boy, his father Jack Taylor took him along to work on Saturdays at Executive Leasing, the business he owned within a St. Louis car dealership. Spending time at the dealership with his father, Andy observed early and often the spirit of fun and entrepreneurship that drove Jack and characterized the business he built.

In the candid stories that Andy generously shared during the two days he hosted Tugboat Institute @Enterprise at his headquarters last week, the Evergreen leader noted that among other essential learnings he benefitted from as he grew up in the family business, a key encouragement of his father was: “Every day is going to be fun.” Listening to Andy, it was clear that having fun has been an essential part of his and his team’s journey scaling Enterprise from $78M to a now $24B global business.
