Observing Others

It's a Tuesday Three-peat!

It's all about giving the Turkey it's day!

And giving Thanksgiving Turkeys to those in need.

We are gathering together at Rooster's again in Layton for another Thankful Tuesday!

Where we meet and greet and collect grocery store gift cards to be used to purchase the turkeys.

A shout out to those who come and donate!

And Rooster's Brewery Co. for hosting and providing yummy appetizers.

And Holy Cross Davis Hospital for there generous donation and sending volunteers to assemble the Thanksgiving Dinner Boxes.

Turkey Day is just over a week away.

Happy to provide a helping hand to Open Doors!

It's like a blast from the past!

In fact, we are calling this episode Flashback Friday.

Our mystery guest is really no mystery at all.

And today's episode is actually a sneak preview of a new podcast we are launching in addition to Observing Others.

So it is fitting that we come full circle today as we take a piece of the past and launch it into the future.

Listen as we dig deep to explore a subject that needs exploring.

And who better to do it with than our returning Co-Host.

Listen to find out who it is and what our plans are for our spin off.

And watch for designer T-shirts to go with it!

It's Silicon Slopes Summit Week!  

Day Two of Summit at the Delta Center!

You can't miss Jeremy at Summit as he works his way around the Delta Center!

But, Kelly is missing in action this year at Summit.

It seems that Covid-19 and all its variants have invade his home this week.

We are checking un with Jeremy on the scene to give us the scoop about all things Summit this year.

His promoting Thankful Tuesday II as well as other events posted on our new Upcoming Events Page.

If you are at Summit come and say "hi"!

Thankful Tuesday is back!

This year we are at Roosters.

Daneen Adams with Open Doors has joined us again on our podcast.

Also joining us is Elisabeth Seipel with Roosters Brewing Co.

And, in the tradition of Thankful Tuesdays in the past, we are gathering "people to help people"!

We’ve invited guests to bring gift cards from local grocery stores to donate to the Open Doors Food Bank to distribute with this year's Thanksgiving Dinners.

It's a wonderful tradition, our little meet and greet mix and mingle. all for a good cause!

It is our third year of collecting donations as we gather to network.

Plus, the newly remodeled Rooster's is the perfect place to do just that.

Listen and find out more about Rooster's Brewing Co, and how you can be a part of our next Thankful Tuesday!

It has been a busy summer but we are back!

Summer is almost over and then it is back to school, of course.

With life being so busy, it is hard not to let things and people slip through the cracks.

And, sometimes it is all because we simply procrastinate.

Until people and events remind us that life is short and, as the saying goes, we shouldn't put off tomorrow what we can do today.

Now is the time to prioritize and reevaluate our priorities.

Before time gets away from us.

Do open minds open doors?

Well,  closed doors and closed minds have something in common.

Neither is in a position to expand perspective.

Today we are at Open Doors trying  to open minds.

Especially about what we say about other people.

Which is tied to this quote: What Sally says about Susie says more about Sally than it does about Susie.

It is hard to admit when we are wrong. Perhaps a better approach would be to say our viewpoint has changed.

A changed viewpoint is a changed perspective. Perspective can change by seeing things from someone else's point of view. Diversity is the welcomed and free exchange of differing viewpoints. Diversity can provide some of the greatest change in perspective by offering a greater divergence of viewpoints.

Inclusion welcomes and respects all viewpoints. The more we learn from others the more our perspective enlarges. Our appreciation for others also grows when we expand our perspective by seeing from another's point of view.

Join us as we expand our awareness about how we can help people better their lives while opening doors and blessings of our own.

When we think of open houses we usually think of real estate.

In fact, that is where the first open house may have orginated.

These days, however, businesses can also have open houses.

What happens when you host 3 open houses for 3 businesses all on Main Street in Layton on the same Monday morning?

You have a wonderful Meet Me On Main Street In May event!

My best friend's name is Dan.

Well, Dan's best friend is in the doghouse.

Have you ever been in the doghouse with your best friend?

How do you mend fences when frienships get messy?

We have some guests on today's podcast that have some good ideas.

Thanks Kolton Rackham, Lorin Jeppsen and Angie Thorpe for joining us!

Once there was a dog whose owner was injured in a car accident and was taken to a hospital. The injuried man lived alone. He called his neighbor and asked if his neighbor would go and feed and water the dog. The neighbor agreed and went next door to feed the dog.

The dog, however, did not trust the neighbor. Once the neighbor was in the dog's back yard, the dog began growling and snarling at the neighbor. The man couldn't get passed the dog to get the food or water. So the neighbor left and tried again the following day.

The next day the result was the same. The dog still did not like or trust the neighbor. Several days went by. The neighbor had made multiple fruitless attempts to no avail.

One day the neighbor thought that if he brought some dog food with him, that might just do the trick. The neighbor even brought some meaty treats with him that day.

By the time the neighbor came back with food in hand, the dog was weak from lack of food and water and exhausted from so much barking. Gently the neighbor held out the food hoping the dog would not bite the hand that fed him.

Bashfully the dog decided to accept the generosity and persistency of the neighbor and ate the food. The dogs strength returned. But so did a love for its neighbor.

The two became like best friends.

Get out of the doghouse. 

Reach out to your friends today!

Today's podcast was a Pastries & Podcast at Cafe Central in the Freeport Center!

We call him the "natural inquirer"

Asking the right questions is the best way to get to know people.

For joining us and for let us ask questions!

And discovering the meaning of B.T.O.F.

One of the hardest things any of us can do is make adjustments. Making adjustments to the way we do things often goes against the grain. It goes against the flow.

But as the saying goes: doing things the way you usually do gets you the results you usually get.

And doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, is a no win situation.

But improvement is possible when we are willing to change the way we do things and get the necessary guidance to do so. 

There are so many benefits from getting advice from consultation.

One problem is that consults often get a bad rap. People tend to be suspicious of the financial motives of paid advisors when they get paid for advice.

The truth may very well be that people have a hard time making changes in the first place.

Today our guests are wearing consultant caps. 

We are on location again at GYVR! Joining us on our podcast are Andy Day, from the law firm Bender Day & Cullimore, and Arthur Warsoff, owner of Trans World Business Advisors of Utah County.

Listen as we find out how an ounce of prevention, following sound advice, avoids so many pitfalls and problems.
