Today I give you an inside glimpse into one of America’s most well known families; The Huntsman’s. Here are a couple of questions I ask Jon and Mary Kaye: 1. What’s it really like to be a Huntsman? 2. The role that faith has played in their lives? 3. How they decided not to run a write in campaign for Utah Governor 2020? Hope you enjoy this inside look!

The leaders of the hottest up & coming band in Utah, Brady and Megan Parks of The National Parks, join Jeff to discuss dreaming big, sharing your gifts, & uplifting others via music during COVID.

Jeff Burningham is starting a podcast and asking the questions: What can we learn from the people around us? How do we make a difference?  100% of us are flawed but 99.7% (or thereabouts;) are good, really good & have much to teach each one of us. No matter our differences, we are ALL a lot more alike than we often realize. A goal of this podcast is to elicit more compassion & less comparing to those around us. Another is to eradicate fear; we too often let mistakes of the past & concern for an unknown future destroy our happiness & stunt our progress moving forward. These are the stories of people you may or may not have heard of that will change your life for the better.
