Clint Betts and Garrett Clark meet with Stan Lockhart from The Lockhart Group for this informative episode of the Silicon Slopes Podcast. They chat about tech in Utah and the laws surrounding the industry, as well as lawmakers involved in tech. Stan and his son are involved in the current legislative session and he shares his experience in that ever-evolving landscape. Utah is a land of opportunity, which is why so many businesses relocate here, and startups thrive in the valley, and they touch on the topic of DEI and local policy. Bias shines through in modern media and Stan shares some ideas surrounding news and reporting methods. Tune in to learn more from a local legend! "I'd also like to help the government join the 21st century when it comes to technology and I'm very proud of the efforts I've made in that arena. They're getting better and better but government tends to trail the private sector in adopting things that make people more efficient, make money, save time, make people happy in their interactions with you, those types of things."
