This episode features a conversation between Sean Slatter, CEO and president of LSI, about owning and operating a consulting business with operations in Northern Utah and Washington, D.C., and podcast host Pete Codella, Go Utah’s communications director. The company specializes in business and economic development, social impact practices, logistics, and supply chain management.

Slatter shares valuable lessons he's learned as a business owner and entrepreneur, such as being tenacious and not giving up, the three primary disciplines LSI focuses on, and how the company’s capabilities have evolved. He explains the company’s social impact work, including creating jobs for unemployed veterans, LSI’s experience in the aerospace and defense industry in northern Utah, and how the state’s small to medium-sized businesses are primary drivers of Utah’s strong and diverse economy. Slatter also discusses what changes he sees in Utah’s workforce, housing supply and demand in the state, and much more.
