Extraordinary Us

I learned something new & insightful in my conversation with an old friend Gabe Reid today. Even he, a college star & NFL football player struggled with his self confidence. Learn how he built confidence & overcame his fears while famously fumbling in the Super Bowl. And why that mistake was one of the best things that ever happened to him.

This episode was a special one. Sitting down with my friend Spencer Fluhman, the Executive Director of The Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at BYU was enlightening & inspiring. Religious belief is waning but we need more faith, not less, right now in 2020.

I had the privilege of sitting down with one of the best education administrators in our state & talking about teaching our kids during the pandemic & what the future of education should look like. Fidel Montero is a high school principal & emblematic of all the great educators who deserve our respect, appreciation & support during this challenging time!

Short, sweet & to the point. Despite our many current difficulties let’s rally and #givethanks for all the good around us, this Thanksgiving in 2020.

I was grateful to be able to get down to southern Utah today & interview the Mayor of one of the fastest growing cities in America, St George. Jon has an interesting story & is a public servant at heart. Hope you enjoy this inside look into his life & the exciting city he leads.

Last time I sat down with Jeanette for an extended period of time, I was honestly a bit concerned for her sanity & health. After this tumultuous year of 2020 where she has overcome cancer & helped her publishing business survive COVID, how has she changed & grown? Jeanette has highlighted more people doing good in our community than anyone else I know! Time for her to step into the spotlight & be highlighted for the amazing person she is 😊

The day before the Presidential election I was able to sit down with Thomas Wright; former chair of the Republican party in Utah & a candidate for Governor in 2020. Thomas reminds us all that the strength of our country is found in the people, not our politicians. This was the perfect conversation to have right before the uncertainty we are now experiencing in the 2020 Presidential election.

Today I had the good fortune of sitting down with a wonderful person & friend battling a terminal illness, ALS. Warren grew up on a farm in Perry Utah & has now become a prolific entrepreneur & investor. Over 3 years ago he & his family learned that he had ALS. Today he shares lessons learned in life, love & entrepreneurship. He is battling a terminal illness with tenacity, a sense of humor & a smile on his face. There is a lot for all of us to learn here.

It was great to sit down with my friend & a wonderful entrepreneur & person, Johnny Hanna. Johnny is the founder & CEO of one of most exciting up and coming companies in Utah, Homie. We talk a bit about his story, entrepreneurship & the real estate market but spent most of our time on a topic we are both passionate about & thinking a lot of in 2020; Mental Fitness.

Today I sat down with Clint Betts to learn more about where he came from & how he became the Executive Director & face of the Silicon Slopes movement in Utah. It was fun to remember & share some stories of the early days building, learning & growing together. This is an insightful look into arguably Utah’s most important up and coming industry group & the guy who leads it.
