In this episode, I talk to Alan Russel, an entrepreneur and the Stake President of the Ogden YSA 2nd Stake. Alan is a successful businessman, but it becomes clear that his family and the gospel are where he focuses his time. I met him when I spoke for a stake devotional, and the spirit strongly impressed me to have him as a guest on the podcast. The spirit did not disappoint. I am sure you will feel the same way as Alan talks of his family, the events in his life, the gospel, and studying the scriptures.
