    Speaking on Business: Great Salt Lake Alliance

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The Great Salt Lake Alliance works to connect people, ideas and resources to advance water innovation. Helping create opportunities for collaboration that can turn promising solutions into meaningful actions for the lake. Executive Director, Lindsie Smith, joins us with more. Lindsie Smith: The Great Salt Lake Alliance is a convener, a connector and a catalyst for water innovation in Utah. We bring business, government, researchers, nonprofits and entrepreneurs to the same table to find and scale solutions for the Great Salt Lake, because we know that no single company, agency or organization can secure the lake’s future alone. Collaboration is how good ideas move forward. When a business leader, a scientist and a policymaker sit down together, solutions get tested faster, funded smarter and adopted sooner. So our role is to make those connections happen. And our partner program is an open invitation to be part of that work. Organizations of every size and sector can share expertise, help shape convenings like our Great Salt Lake Solutions Exchange, and help where innovation goes next. Great Salt Lake supports Utah’s economy, and Utah’s business community can help support the lake. We’d love to have you with us. Learn more at GreatSaltLakeAlliance.org. Derek Miller: Through collaboration across Utah, the Great Salt Lake Alliance is helping create a stronger, more water-resilient future. Their work shows what’s possible when we come together around a shared challenge. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally aired: 10/26/26

    Speaking on Business: Peter Prier & Sons Violins

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For more than 60 years, Peter Prier & Sons Violins has been part of Utah’s music community. The Salt Lake City shop helps musicians find, maintain and appreciate string instruments through craftsmanship, expertise and a deep connection to violin making. Owner, Paul Prier, joins us with more. Paul Prier: In 1960, a 19-year-old German immigrant moved to Salt Lake City with a violin and a set of tools. He had recently graduated from the Bavarian School of Violin Making and took a position at a local music store. Soon after, he opened his own violin shop on 2nd South, Prier Music Company, and then, Peter Prier Violins. In 1972, Prier founded the Violin Making School of America, drawing students from all over the world and making Salt Lake City a world-class center for string instruments. After 65 years, Peter Prier & Sons Violins remains the preeminent curator and restorer of quality violins, violas and cellos, in Salt Lake City. Serving the beginner to the soloist, we strive for excellence, old world tradition, and service for all those who love and make music. I’m Paul Prier, second generation owner. Feel free to come visit or contact us for information on tours and business hours. Derek Miller: From teaching the next generation of makers to helping musicians find the right instrument, Peter Prier & Sons Violins continues to contribute to Utah’s rich musical community.

    Speaking on Business: Teaching It Right

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Teaching It Right helps children build the skills they need to connect with others, communicate and build friendships. Through research-backed programs and practical tools, they give parents and educators ways to help children feel confident, supported and included. Founder and CEO, Andrea Johnson, joins us with more. Andrea Johnson: I believe every child can learn to connect with others, that is why I founded the We Are Friends program. It looks simple from the outside. A lesson and a conversation. Underneath, it's a structured, research-backed approach to how children actually learn to connect. We built it around children on the autism spectrum, because that's where we saw the real science-to-practice gap. Turns out those same methods help children who need support believing in themselves, communicating with others, managing emotions and building friendships. The program uses personalized videos, music and interactive practice, giving children simple, consistent opportunities to build social skills each day. Parents use it at home. Teachers use it in class. And because it's grounded in research, we see improved connections. I've seen it change kids. That's why I’m doing this. Every kid deserves to belong. That's Teaching It Right. Derek Miller: By helping children build confidence, meaningful relationships and social skills, Teaching It Right is creating more opportunities for kids to feel understood, supported and know they belong.

Each year, we bring together locally owned businesses and professionals across a wide range of industries, from health care and legal services to retail, construction, automotive, home services and more.

Salt Lake has an incredible community of entrepreneurs and business leaders, and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to share their stories and celebrate what they contribute to the community.

    Speaking on Business: Baby's Bagels

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Born and bred in Salt Lake City, Baby’s Bagels is on a mission to bring world-class bagels to Utah. What started at the Downtown Farmers Market has grown into its first storefront, serving bagels, house-made spreads and drinks. Co-Owner, Eric Valchuis, joins us with more. Eric Valchuis: My fellow co-owners, Koby, Cyrus and I all grew up outside Boston, and we each had our neighborhood joints. Mine was Regina's Pizza. Short menu. Meticulous execution. What it lacked in service, it made up for in character. You knew what you'd get, and it was just as good as the last time. The idea for Baby's Bagels sprouted from those childhood institutions. The magic starts with the bagels: organic flour from Logan, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked fresh daily. We offer a few classic sandwiches: egg and cheese, lox, tuna, veggie. A real person takes your order while bagels come fresh from the oven and your sandwich is made in front of you. At night, Pie Boy, our pizza pop-up, takes over with the same formula. Short menu, obsessive attention to quality, and a real person taking your order. Just missing the Boston accent. Come find us at 204 East 500 South, across from the City and County Building. Derek Miller: With its fresh bagels, simple menu and neighborhood feel, Baby’s Bagels is becoming a popular downtown spot for Utah bagel lovers. Visit BabysBagels.com to learn more.

    Speaking on Business: Argentina's Best Empanadas

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Small businesses make up 99.4 percent of all businesses in Utah, and Argentina’s Best Empanadas is one local business continuing to grow and make its mark. Owner and Entrepreneur, Analia Valdemoros, joins us with more. Analia Valdemoros: Utah is well known for its entrepreneurial spirit, and food is one of the best ways to see it in action. Argentina’s Best Empanadas started in Salt Lake City in 2007 with a family recipe, a downtown farmers market booth and a dream. Since then, we’ve grown alongside Utah while creating opportunities for other food entrepreneurs. That passion led to Square Kitchen, a shared commercial kitchen where businesses can test ideas, become licensed, build connections and grow. Many brands that started or developed at Square Kitchen are now Utah staples, selling at markets, stores, restaurants and events across the state. And Argentina’s Best continues to grow, too. We recently launched EmpanaDough, our line of frozen empanada discs, with frozen empanadas coming soon to retail stores.For me, entrepreneurship is about more than building one business. It’s about opening doors, creating connections and helping the next Utah food brands grow. Derek Miller: Argentina’s Best Empanadas is a great example of how entrepreneurship brings new flavors, ideas and opportunities to Utah. Learn more at ArgentinasBestSLC.com.
