Bryan Clayton shared with us several solid tips that led to his massive and ongoing success with GreenPal.  

Before starting GreenPal Bryan Clayton founded Peachtree Inc. one of the largest landscaping companies in the state of Tennessee growing it to over $10 million a year in annual revenue.

GreenPal, being called the "Uber for lawn care" by Entrepreneur magazine, is an awesome mobile app that helps homeowners connect with the right lawn care professional nearest to them. So not only are homeowners getting easier access to people that can help them with their yards, but lawn care businesses are also benefiting greatly from this app with increased business!

One of the great tips Bryan shared in this episode was to "celebrate the small things". In the beginning stages of the app, he set a goal with his team to make 100 sales in a week to prove to themselves that growing the business was not only possible, but realistic. When they reached that goal, they went crazy with the celebration as if they had just won a Nobel Prize. They have since grown the business so much larger and GreenPal now has over 300,000 active users!

This is just one of many tips Bryan shared with us, check out this episode to hear more!

Founder of The Phoenix Recovery Center, Jake Shoff has seen his fair share of lemons in his lifetime. He told us about how his current pursuits and goals to bless people's lives have all stemmed from the tragic loss of Josh, one of his closest college friends, to an addiction and mental health issues.

After our Lemonade Stand team recently just finished reading "Personality Isn't Permanent" by Benjamin Hardy, this conversation with Jake was perfectly timed. He is a prime example of what we learned in Benjamin's book --> your past doesn't happen TO you, but rather your past happens FOR you.

We are sincerely grateful for Jake's time and his willingness to share his stories and hope to be able to share this to as many people as possible!

If you or a loved one are struggling with mental health or drug addiction, please don't hesitate to ask for help. Like Jake says in this episode, there's no shame in getting help, just call (801) 438-3185

Check out the Phoenix Recovery Center's blog, they have tons of helpful information and "how-to's" on the topic!

Russ Warner, Co-Founder of Ghost Board, shares the origins of how the incredible, transparent longboards came into this world and what he had to do to repair some family relationships from it.

Have you ever ridden on a ghost before? 

If you've witnessed these see-through longboards, you'll know what we're talking about! Go check out their website and Instagram page to see some of their awesome work!

Russ Warner is a genuine guy. Growing up with divorced parents, he developed a great work ethic. In fact, it was too great. He was addicted to work, sometimes working several jobs and insane hours. 

This addiction wasn't all bad, it definitely provided for the family, but at what cost? 

Time. Precious time.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Russ Warner in the studio with us. The greatest lesson we learned from our conversation with him is how valuable our time is here. Spend it wisely and with the people you love!

Hope you love this episode as much as we did!

For over 30 years the Bonner family has been singing together. We had the privilege of speaking with two of them in our studio!

Yahosh and Oba are two brothers in the famous Bonner family. If you haven't heard them sing before, you need to stop what you are doing right now, go to their Youtube channel or Spotify channel, and let their angelic voices sweep over you for a couple minutes.

The bond that Yahosh and Oba share as brothers is almost tangible it's so strong. The stories they shared about their family leads us to believe that the same goes for the whole family.

Both brothers have their own music apart from the songs they sing with the family. Check out their solo stuff!

Yahosh Bonner: Spotify / Youtube

Oba Bonner: Spotify / Youtube

It was a pleasure getting to spend time with these two, I hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did!

What happens when that call comes to you? You know, that calling in life? The one that keeps you up at night. The one that keeps persisting till you have to step up to the plate. This is exactly what happened to Darin, when he realized that his successful law practice just wasn't fulfilling enough. He had known about the importance of bringing clean water to the world, but little did he know the impact building toilets would be in third world countries. Starting in India, he saw the incredible benefits having toilets made in rural areas. What we take for granted, others seek for their survival. In our podcast we talked about their amazing work and how we can get involved. Truly amazing stuff. Hope you all enjoy!

Ah words can't describe how much I love these two. I met Marshall when he was the director of the Utah Film Commission. He visited the set of Abandoned Mine. There, in those dark corridors of a mine, we found a budding friendship that brought so much light in such a dark period of my life, physically speaking of course. And sweet Michelle was my publicist while working on the project. These two have been such a force for good in the film industry here in UT. Seriously all that know them speak high praises. On today's podcast, we chatted about the adventure of acquiring a film festival, helping further the Industry in UT, and combatting with all the health issues Marshall has dealt with. It's been such a fun journey chatting with them about their most recent adventures. Enjoy!!

We spoke to Dave Nibley and Daryn Tufts about life, their philosophies or routines to bring about joy, and the benefit of mindfulness.

Ah, I can't say enough about these two gents! They are truly hilarious and some of the most genuine and down-to-earth people you will ever meet. If you are familiar with movies like Singles Ward or Best Two Years, you are familiar with their work. They both shepherded a whole new kind of cinema, serving a community with laughs and thought-provoking messages. 

Dave and Daryn went on to become partners and create Flinch, an Ad agency focused on creating amazing spots. I have been privileged to work with them as an actor on several of their projects including their awesome UCCU campaign and the hilarious film, "We love you, Sally Carmichael." 

Dave and Daryn are currently working on their newest feature film, Pizarro, which highlights certain church history's thespians coming together to put on a play, to help raise funds for the new religion. The true story of the beginnings of Mormon theater, that people know absolutely nothing about. 

So much fun and creative energy in one room. Enjoy!
