## Resource

Portland Spirit is entering a new era as co-founder Daniel Yates steps down from day-to-day leadership after 32 years, handing the reins to longtime executive Dennis Corwin, who brings 40 years of hospitality experience. Mindy Dean-Caldwell, a 26-year veteran, takes over as General Manager, overseeing operations and culinary. Yates remains on the board and is focused on growth, including a new waterfront restaurant. The company is also planning a major ship upgrade within five years, signaling its strongest position ever. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
