In this episode of the Go-To-Market Podcast, Dr. Amy Cook, CMO and Co-Founder of Fullcast, talks with Jacob Andra, CEO of Talbot West, about what AI can and cannot do for your business.

His take? AI is not the Ozempic of business efficiency.

Real AI transformation requires strategy, data readiness, change management, and a clear-eyed understanding of what these tools actually do.

In this episode of Silicon Slopes Friday Conversations, Chad Brackelsberg, Executive Director Emeritus, and Travis Morrison, Research and Technology Program Manager at Utah Avalanche Center explore one of the most unexpected—and critical—applications of AI today.

AI can predict avalanches before they happen. Chad and Travis discuss how it’s being built in Utah.

Ben Lear, Randa Vieira and Gardner Lange of Lear Immigration talk through some of the changes in immigration law and policies over the past year and how those changes will affect the tech world moving forward.

In this episode of Mental Health Momentum, host Dr. David Morgan sits down with Tobie Spears, founder of Be Humanitarian, to explore the unexpected connection between mental health, global service, and human resilience.

From leading volunteer-driven nutrition programs in Guatemala where they serve over 10,000 meals per month to raising a family while navigating real-world mental health challenges, Tobie shares a deeply human perspective on what it means to build emotional strength through purpose.
