Un-Uninformed

Last week we talked about how the opioid epidemic kills more Utahns than guns and car wrecks combined.  Now, with Part 2 of this discussion, we talk about some of the solutions to the opioid epidemic. Does the solution rely on doctors? Patients? We also talk about some of the benefits of a drug called naloxone, which can save the life of someone who just overdosed. So is there hope? Angela Stander Ito from the Utah Department of Health says: yes.

We all know that some companies make it and some don’t. But then there are those few companies that kick butt when it comes to being extremely successful and implementing radical innovation. There’s a science behind all of this. Joining us on this episode of Un-Uninformed is Dr. Sunnie Giles who has dedicated her research to this science. In fact, her new book is called The New Science of Radical Innovation. In this interview, Dr. Sunnie Giles gives Sean Sevy some of the secrets from her book on how to become a leader that can create a company as successful and innovative as Google.

Dr. Sunnie Giles’ new book is coming out April 10, 2018. For more information on purchasing this book, click here.

Also, Sean Sevy has done a book review on the book. Check it out here.

Almost a quarter of the people in the world are Muslim.  But how much do we really understand Islam and Muslim culture here in America?

Joining us in this episode is Maysa Kergaye, the coordinator for the Islamic Speaker’s Bureau here in Salt Lake City, Utah. She frequently reaches out to the community in helping people understand her religion and culture. But not only does she talk about being Muslim, but about her unique experience being Muslim in Utah (which state is often known for its Mormon majority). It turns out, she’s found so much in common with her Mormon neighbors that she can’t think of a place she would rather raise her family. Join us in this conversation where we talk about religion and culture and dispel a few rumors.

Many of the greatest conflicts in our world have been attributed to religious differences. So if religion has often been attributed to the cause of conflict, is religion creating world peace, or destroying it?

To answer this question we attend the Global Peace and Spiritual Life Lecture Series where the keynote speaker is Elder D. Todd Christofferson, an Apostle from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

But we also bring in another prominent voice on the show: the late John Lennon, who imagined a world of no religion as a means of having world peace.

So is religion destroying world peace or creating it? Listen to an Apostle and a Rock Star and we’ll let you develop your own opinion.
