Start School is a completely free entrepreneurship program from Silicon Slopes, built in partnership with Mountain America Credit Union. No tuition. No equity taken. No Demo Day. No pitch competitions. No hidden agenda.

No connections required, no warm introductions needed. Just a willingness to learn and a commitment to show up. Apply now!

Will West is a Silicon Slopes legend. He's built multiple successful companies, most notably Control 4, a pioneer in home automation. In this session, Will got honest about what it actually takes to build something worth building.

Start School is free for every entrepreneur who walks through the door. No tuition. No fees. No catch. But building a business requires more than education. It requires infrastructure.

That's where our partners come in.

In this Friday Conversation, guest host Dr. Krista Andersen, founder and CEO of FIKSAL, sits down with Chris Magleby, CEO and co-founder of Mindless Labs, to talk about leadership, anxiety, recovery, and the future of mental health in the tech industry.

After building a thriving healthcare software company during the explosive growth of Utah’s startup ecosystem, Magleby found himself facing something few founders openly discuss: a years-long battle with severe anxiety that led to a nervous breakdown and moments of profound fear about losing control of his own mind.

Instead of hiding it, he talked about it.

In this conversation, Magleby shares the journey from crisis to clarity, how therapy, EMDR, community support, and a willingness to confront difficult emotions helped him rebuild his mental foundation.

In this episode of Go-To-Market, sponsored by Fullcast and Silicon Slopes, host Amy Osmond Cook sits down with David Homan, President and Founder of SOAR Connect, to explore a bold idea: what if we could quantify authentic relationships and use that data to drive meaningful action?

Before founding SOAR Connect, David built a life around connection through music, philanthropy, and family offices. As the 2025 bestselling author of Orchestrating Connection, he believes trust isn’t built through transactions. It’s built through time, action, and intentional generosity.

In this episode of Mental Health Momentum, host Dr. David Morgan, licensed psychologist and Director of Mental Health Awareness at Silicon Slopes, sits down with leadership strategist Patti Cook for a candid conversation about the hidden forces shaping mental health at work.

Having worked since the age of 14 across industries ranging from local organizations to national initiatives, Patti has witnessed firsthand how organizational silos, unclear leadership, and structural ambiguity create anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome inside otherwise high-performing teams.

Now a client strategist at O.C. Tanner and a former marketing director at the Women's Leadership Institute, Patti works with organizations that see employee recognition and culture as strategic drivers of real change.

What Dinner Club Actually Is

Dinner Club is simple: founders, builders, and creators sitting around a table, sharing a meal and having real conversations. No pitch decks. No elevator speeches. No one is trying to sell you anything. Just people who are building companies, facing similar challenges, and willing to share what they're learning.
