Speaking on Business: Brown Family Law Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 2010, Brown Family Law has helped Utah families navigate life’s most challenging transitions. With compassionate guidance and experienced legal counsel, they help clients move forward with confidence. Founding Partner, Marco Brown, joins us with more. Marco Brown: Thankfully, Utah has a relatively low divorce rate, but even that low rate means that every year thousands of Utah families suffer through divorce. Brown Family Law helps those Utahns through one of the toughest times in their lives. We focus exclusively on family law, and on helping our clients maximize time with their kids and maximize their money during and after divorce. This means we begin every case by trying to use private negotiation and mediation so we don’t have to go to open court, fight in public and air dirty laundry. This approach is very successful for our clients since it allows them to work cooperatively to design their life after divorce, and it saves money, heartache and time. If, however, we need to go to court to protect our clients and their families, we will put on boxing gloves and come prepared to fight, and we are good at it. Derek Miller: By helping families find practical solutions during difficult times, Brown Family Law is making a meaningful difference in communities across Utah.

Speaking on Business: Kristin Sokol Instructional Matchmaker Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Successful businesses solve real problems, and today, more entrepreneurs are helping address one of society’s biggest challenges: loneliness and social disconnection. Dating strategist and matchmaker Kristin Sokol joins us to share how her business is helping people build meaningful relationships and lasting connections. Kristin Sokol: Ever since our lives moved onto smartphones, and we stopped looking at each other, loneliness has skyrocketed! That's one reason the dating support and matchmaking industry has grown so much. I've spent the last 20 years helping singles as a dating expert. I've completed graduate work in professional coaching and hold a Science-Based Dating Coach certification through the Global Love Institute. Besides my own marriage and my two kids, who are grown, being part of 150 client marriage stories is the greatest joy of my life. People should note that dating in Utah isn't broken. Every weekend, wedding venues are full! Love is happening all around us. More often than not, it's not your location or culture. It's your approach. Small shifts in mindset and strategy create big opportunities. Falling in love is not completely out of your hands. You have far more influence than you think, and that's really hopeful. Derek Miller: Building meaningful relationships can change lives, and Kristin Sokol is helping people approach dating with confidence, purpose and hope.

Speaking on Business: Downtown Alliance Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Downtown Salt Lake City is coming into its most consequential decade in more than a century and the Downtown Alliance just released the report that proves it. Dee Brewer, executive director of the Downtown Alliance, joins us with more. Dee Brewer: Here's a number I love: last year, people spent more than thirty million days downtown. I’m not talking about drive-throughs. Thirty million times, someone chose to spend real time in the heart of our capital city — at a Mammoth game, the Farmers Market, the symphony or one of our four hundred restaurants, bars and shops. Our new Downtown Economic Benchmark Report tells that story. Venue attendance hit an all-time high of 4.7 million. Downtown's residential population is up 63% since 2019. And ten billion dollars is committed to reshape downtown this decade with a new sports and entertainment district, a rebuilt Salt Palace and 20 other projects mapped on the road to the 2034 Olympic Games. Now, buildings don't make downtown. People do. And downtown vibrancy is definitely crowdsourced — it's created every time you choose to shop, dine, cheer or stroll a sidewalk downtown. What is your favorite part of our Capital City? Come feel the energy of Downtown Salt Lake. Derek Miller: Every great city has a great downtown. Ours is being built one choice at a time – by you.
