28. Brian Canlis: Leading and Learning Through Vulnerability

Category: Arts

Description:

Our guest this episode is Brian Canlis, someone who along with his family has had a reputation for setting the bar for hospitality through their 70 year old restaurant Canlis, a Seattle institution created by his grandfather Peter Canlis. Since the 1950’s, the restaurant has won multiple awards including their most recent James Beard award for Outstanding Hospitality.

Today, Brian and his brother Mark are at the helm of Canlis. Bringing a fresh perspective, they’ve made changes to keep the restaurant evolving and in the last year they’ve steered the restaurant through the pandemic with quick start-up like pivots from turning the restaurant from a fine dining institution to a burger joint, among many other concepts.

It's not every day you get to connect and learn from a 3rd generation family restaurant owner. Many times, generational owners take on a huge responsibility to upkeep the legacy and standards of their restaurant while simultaneously working hard to stay relevant. Brian shares his approach to evolving as a brand, his leadership style,  and some valuable lessons from his parents.

This is an eye-opening episode on how leading and learning with vulnerability is absolutely a strength rather than a weakness. Enjoy!
