    Speaking on Business: Playworks Utah

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Playworks Utah is a nonprofit helping children build healthier lives through physical activity and meaningful play. Celebrating 15 years of impact, Playworks partners with more than 50 elementary schools across Utah. Executive Director, Desi Arends, joins us with more. Desi Arends: At Playworks Utah, we believe play brings out the best in every kid. But recess can become a source of conflict and lost classroom time. In Utah, only 14% of children get an hour of daily physical activity, and one in four youth reports feeling isolated. Without active connection, kids miss opportunities to build resilience, teamwork and communication skills. Playworks partners with Utah schools to transform recess through proven proactive strategies, student leadership and positive adult role models. When play is intentional, schools report physical activity increasing by 43%, and classroom engagement rising by 73%. Play isn’t just a break from learning; it is learning. We’ve brought the power of play to 175 schools and 22,000 students across Utah. Help us reach every student, school and community by supporting the power of play. Learn more or donate at Playworks.org/Utah. Derek Miller: Playworks is helping Utah children build confidence, friendships and healthy habits through the power of play. Their work is creating safer, more connected school communities where every child has the opportunity to thrive. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

Since its founding, the bank’s mission has remained steadfast, even as technology and banking have evolved. Executive Vice President, Heidi Prokop, joins us with more.

    Speaking on Business: Common Thread

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Common Thread is a teen-led nonprofit supporting young people ages 12 to 18 impacted by foster care, homelessness or other similar childhood experiences, providing a safe space for connection, community and free resources. Executive Director, Rachel Garrett, joins us with more. Rachel Garrett: At Common Thread, we believe every teen deserves a place where they feel safe, seen and supported. Young people’s voices and experiences are at the heart of our work, with our Teen Board helping to shape everything we do. Through a consistent community, teens can build trusted relationships, access free, high-quality mental health support, learn life skills, connect with mentors and experience joy. More than 3,500 teens have been part of Common Thread, and we’ve seen how much that sense of connection can mean. For one 15-year-old, it meant showing up every weekend for eight weeks of equine therapy, even while moving through foster homes, a residential treatment center and the juvenile justice system. Despite the uncertainty in her life, she had a place to belong. And that’s what every teen deserves: a community where they feel supported, build resilience and know they’re not alone. Learn more about Common Thread at CommonThreadCommunity.org. Derek Miller: By creating spaces where teens can connect, grow and feel supported, Common Thread is strengthening Utah communities. Their work helps young people build confidence, resilience and relationships that can positively shape their futures. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

    Speaking on Business: Integrated Companies

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 2000, Integrated Companies has been helping businesses with the essentials of running a company. From payroll and accounting to insurance and HR, they provide the services and support businesses need to keep moving forward. Director of Client Success, Mikalyn Paulson, joins us with more. Mikalyn Paulson: For the fourth year in a row, Utah has been ranked the number one Best State in America by U.S. News & World Report. And keeping Utah strong means keeping up with its growth. Utah is already about 35,000 homes short of what our growing population needs — and demand calls for nearly 190,000 more homes by 2030. Behind every one of those homes are Utah businesses — framers, electricians, concrete crews, masons, plumbers and countless other skilled trades. At Integrated Companies, we’re proud to be the professional services partner behind more than 5,000 Utah businesses, primarily in construction. We handle payroll, insurance, accounting and HR — but we go way beyond the back office. We help our clients strategize around workforce, risk and growth because we know construction inside and out, not just by the paperwork. When Utah’s builders succeed, our communities get stronger. We’re Integrated Companies — proud to stand behind the people building Utah. Derek Miller: As Utah’s economy continues to grow, Integrated Companies is helping businesses stay prepared for what’s ahead. Learn more about their work and services at IntegratedCompanies.com.

    Speaking on Business: HawkWatch International

    Local nonprofit HawkWatch International has combined science and education to protect raptors and the environment since 1986. From partnering with businesses to bringing birds into local libraries, Executive Director Nikki Wayment shares how they’re creating meaningful connections between people and conservation. Nikki Wayment: Each year, HawkWatch International monitors over a million birds in Utah and beyond. Perched at the top of the food chain, raptors tell us a lot about the health of the environments we share with them, for the benefit of both birds and people. HawkWatch International connects these dots — between science and business, people and nature and our local community and the birds that share it — to create an environment where conservation naturally thrives. Our scientists support local businesses, like renewable energy companies, to understand and reduce their impact on raptors. We spark curiosity about careers in science and the natural world with programs with live Raptor Ambassadors, closing the nature gap and inspiring the next generation of leaders. HawkWatch International celebrates 40 years of creating these connections and all the good it creates for our community this fall. Learn more at HawkWatch.org/40th. Derek Miller: HawkWatch International connects more than 40 thousand people with raptors each year through community science, education and consulting. But their work goes beyond birds — it’s about creating a healthier environment for everyone along the Wasatch Front. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

Boutique has been an award-winning, locally owned neighborhood salon in Millcreek, offering nail, hair and aesthetic services with a focus on exceptional customer service.

One of the things I’m most proud of is our new apprenticeship program, which gives aspiring nail technicians hands-on mentorship and the skills they need to graduate as skilled artists.

That means a lot to us because it reflects the trust our clients have placed in us. As an owner, I’m proud to see our team continue to grow and to develop the next generation of nail professionals because after 22 years we’re still focused on providing an exceptional experience and earning the title of Salt Lake’s most iconic nail salon.

    Speaking on Business: Jerry Seiner Dealerships

    This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For more than five decades, Snowbird has welcomed skiers, snowboarders and mountain lovers to Little Cottonwood Canyon. Known for legendary snow and challenging terrain, Snowbird keeps people coming back year after year. Senior Director of Marketing, Morgan Bast, joins us with more. Morgan Bast: Most people travel across the country to check a bucket-list ski destination off their list. In Utah, it's sitting right in our backyard. Known as the home of freeride, Snowbird offers more than 2,500 acres of skiable terrain, welcomes both skiers and snowboarders, and typically has one of the deepest snowpacks in the West. Even better, we're just a short drive from downtown Salt Lake City, making a powder day a lot easier than a plane ticket. Before winter arrives, we're celebrating the 54th year of Snowbird Oktoberfest, a Utah tradition featuring Bavarian food and drinks, live music and mountain views that never get old. When the snow starts flying, guests can recharge at The Cliff Lodge, grab a meal at The Nest, our new mid-mountain restaurant in Gad Valley, and find turns well into spring. The best way to experience Snowbird is with a season pass, so be sure to get yours now. Derek Miller: Snowbird continues bringing visitors to Utah from around the world, creating memorable mountain experiences. Learn more about Snowbird, its seasons and what awaits at Snowbird.com.
