HAVE A TASTE OF curiosity before candor
Manifesto
We believe in social serendipity but plan for providence. Meaningful interactions happen when you least expect them.
We believe in humility. There is little appetite for posturing or ego within these walls.
We believe in curiosity before candor, and that empathy is the greatest olive branch we can offer others.
We believe in the dignity of all people and that none is greater than or less than another. Together, we sit among equals regardless of station, stature or status.
We believe in the power of possibility. Collaboration with others can create far more significance than self.
We believe in radical hospitality and choose to make our finite lives and work count.
We believe in unbridled imagination. Creativity is God-given and is the canvas which gives context and purpose to our lives.
We believe in trust before transaction.

Our FOUNDING STORY
After years of running a pop up dinner series and a love of hosting we learned the art of hospitality and curation starts with intention.
Breaking bread together breaks down walls and if you can create a place where there is no incentivize to posture, true relationship abounds.
During a visit to Franklin many years later we had a providential moment on Main Street that confirmed our calling to build community and impact culture by intentionally connecting people. Our founding team was brought together through our shared experience that had been forged from a combination of owning branding agencies, consultancies, and through it all creating meaningful hospitality platforms that surprise and delight.
Franklin Social is the culmination of those passion points and we’re honored to be a part of contributing to this dynamic community of change makers and culture creators.
