My name is Lynne Cannon and my husband and I own a GRN franchise. He has always been involved in the construction and fire protection industry so that is our focus. I have worked in HR at a large Methodist church for ten years and decided I needed to help with the admin side of our business because that is not his specialty. I have slowly gotten more involved with research and having conversations with people. My personality is on the quieter side if I am unsure of all the lingo but once I feel comfortable with the information, I love talking to people and helping them change their lives.

Hello everyone! My name is Hollie Harrell. My husband, Robbie, and I live in Easley. We also own a trucking company called Tiger Trucking & Logistics LLC. When the pandemic hit in 2020, my husband was activated and stationed at the Air Force base in Savannah where he stays Monday-Thursday. Since he has his CDL’s and so close to the port, we bought a semi truck and he hauls containers after work as our little “side hustle.” It has quickly turned profitable and we just bought a few more trucks and are looking to haul in Upstate SC and near Asheville with a few more drivers.
