“Freedom’s focus on growth isn’t just about expanding the business – it’s about creating opportunities for our people to grow with it,” Lincalis said. “The most rewarding part of my job is seeing employees seize those opportunities, build new skills, and develop into stronger leaders. Their growth is what truly drives our success.”
Fun fact: In high school, a teacher offered extra credit if Lincalis could memorize and recite the alphabet backwards. He took the teacher up on this offer and earned the extra credit. Today, he remembers nothing from that class, but he can still recite the alphabet backward.
