Parrish The Thought

My guest today is 20 year veteran radio journalist Julie Rose, host of two insightful podcasts on BYU Radio; Top of Mind and the Uncomfy podcast.

Several weeks ago I was invited to be guest on her Uncomfy podcast sharing a profound pivot in my own life that has helped change my perspectives on so many things. (Here is that episode - https://youtu.be/Q5RZVtV3ijk?si=DWxNIFyftUfWh-F5)

Julie is such a great interviewer, having done more than 10,000 interviews, she was such a joy to talk to that I decided to have her on my show to share her story of how she got into this world of storytelling. She is a wise thinker and so easy to talk to about so many things.

I recently had the chance to sit down with my longtime friend, Supermascot Rocky, the iconic face (or should I say fur) of the Denver Nuggets, whom I've known for over 33 years. In a candid and heartwarming interview, Rocky (Kenn Solomon) finally reveals the secrets behind the mask after all these years. We've shared so many memories together, from thrilling courtside antics to behind-the-scenes moments that fans rarely get to see. Hearing him talk about his journey, how he brought joy to fans, and the stories that shaped his larger-than-life persona was nothing short of amazing. The bond we've built over three decades only deepened as he peeled back the layers of the character that has captured the hearts of so many. Especially the ins and outs of raising three young (not so much anymore) boys in the shadow of their cartoon dad and the massive effect it has had on their lives.

Welcome back to the show. Thank you for being here. My guest today is Kenny Wyland, a small business owner and real estate investor. This episode was originally designed to have two average American guys talking about why one of them loves Trump and one does not. For the sake of understanding either "side".

Hello ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening.

My guest today is Alicia Keller, VP of Sales for the brand new luxury living community in south Utah County called Three Bridges in Salem, Utah. 

She gives us a sneak peak into the origin, vision, and progress of this amazing new high-end golf and amenity-rich community nestled between the base of Tower Mountain and the community of Salem.

The golf course has been designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, once again, welcome back to the program.

I have two special guests today. They are Elizabeth Allen and Ellie Higginson, former and current Utah State cheer champions from Salem Hills High School. They reveal the not-so-secret world behind the scenes of competitive cheer teams. 

It's a grueling level of physical, emotional and mental commitment to be the best in state several times over. Plus the sisterhood created by a shared love of the sport has bonded these girls as life-long friends.

Full disclosure. Your humble host was a cheerleader at Utah State University back in 1991 so I get to chime in with my similar experiences and perspectives.

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, thank you again for listening to the show. My guests today are Landon and Camille Pollard, Jennah Lee Sheffield and Emily Parrish. 

Almost 5 years ago, we had all of them on the show in an episode called "Perspectives on Life, Like from Teenagers." They're all official adults now so we invited them all back got their current perspectives on the same questions asked back then. 

We get a glimpse into their developing lives. Oh, and they used the word, "like" a lot less.

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, welcome back to the program. 

My guests today are Cary and Reiley Snowden, a father-son app development team and creators of Simple Migrane Tracker and most recently, Rock Logster, a music and memory journaling app for those who love concerts.

A blogging and genealogy meets Yelp app of sorts.

The Snowdens use their love and interest in technology to strengthen family bonds. A family that geeks out on technology together, stays together.

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, welcome back to the program. My guests today are sisters Ashlie Sanders (@the_nuanced_mormon) and Emilie Call, hosts of the growing podcast called That's Church. 

Today my guest is Tiffany Sowby, founder of a new foundation, Rising Violet, supporting mostly women who are trying to establish financial independence from previous partners who were the sole bread winners. Many women feel cultural expectations and pressure to rely entirely upon their partners for financial security, but due to death, divorce, and other circumstances, later find they are unable to provide for themselves or their family.  

Tiffany shares her story behind the creation of Rising Violet, who Violet was and why they do what they do. Tiffany is also the co-host of the fun podcast called The Sisterhood Podcast

Welcome back to the program ya'll.

On the show today is my queer daughter Eden Strader. She came out to us three years ago. The process was a serious growth challenge for us as her parents. We handled it a little bit right but mostly wrong. Not out of malice but ignorance. A lot of damage was done but we've learned how to love better and deeper. It was a rough time in our story but we now have a healthy relationship, loving her as she is and will continue to be. She gives us a lot of back story to...well...her story.
