CEO of Utah Tech Leads, Liz Converse, joins Clint for this episode of the Silicon Slopes Podcast for a conversation about Utah politics and business. Liz answers some common questions about DEI and why this is important for community building in education and business. With a huge shift in national politics sweeping the nation, Utah isn't exempt from the chaos and they discuss one of Utah's more controversial figures. Liz shares what it takes to win your local majority vote and why candidates who connect with their community are more likely to win simply based on their personability. Beyond government and politics, Liz speaks to the impact of industry and growth in Utah, including the leaders who are making great things happen. "How do we continue to make Utah a sustainable place to live? How do we keep our kids here?...It's educating the community and educating policymakers on what those priorities are."
