    Connection Is the New Currency

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This week on the Frankie & Jess Podcast, we sit down with Julie Janke, owner and publisher of Millcreek City Lifestyle. What starts as a conversation about building a magazine quickly turns into something much bigger: 👉 connection, community, and why relationships matter more than ever Julie shares her journey from corporate life to building a community-driven publication from the ground up — and why she refuses to treat business as transactional. For her, it’s personal. We talk about: why connection is the new currency building a business rooted in relationships, not transactions supporting local businesses and nonprofits in a meaningful way the power of community in both business and life learning to scale, delegate, and grow the right way and why no one succeeds alone This conversation hits at the core of what Frankie & Jess have always believed: 👉 the real win is the people you build with along the way Follow Millcreek City Lifestyle: 👉 Instagram: @millcreekcitylifestyle 👉 Website: citylifestyle.com/millcreek @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    When the World Feels Heavy, Go Live Your Life

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) We're back with the first catch-up episode of the week, and this one goes everywhere in the best way. We talk about the heaviness of the world lately, how exhausting downtown parking has become, why cities make it harder than it should be for people to support local businesses, and how weird Utah weather has been. But underneath all of that is a bigger takeaway: When life feels loud, heavy, and disorienting… go do real things. Go laugh at a comedy show. Go for a 10-mile walk. Go hike. Go spend time with people who know you. Go live your life. Jess recaps a soul-filling week with longtime friends in town, including Wiseguys at the Gateway and laughing so hard she popped blood vessels in her face. Frankie talks hiking, reconnecting with a new trail friend, lessons learned the hard way on Mount Olympus, roasting coffee with Tammy, street hockey, and why the simple stuff still matters most. Also in this episode: the approaching April 3rd anniversary of being let go from radio Mammoth game traffic and downtown parking headaches huge Utah wind gusts and flying flowerpots the healing power of comedy, walking, and getting off your phone the people and places that still make life feel grounded @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Roommates, Hoarders, and Dobermans: The Chaos of Adulting

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) It’s the last episode of the week and we’re covering a little bit of everything. We kick things off with a reminder that holding onto the past can keep you stuck. Don’t ruin today because of something that already happened yesterday. Then things take a turn when we talk about a guy who thought he was buying a mini dachshund… and ended up with a full-blown Doberman. Total bait and switch. We also dive into dog behavior, why your dog might greet you with a toy, and the strange emotional bond we have with our pets. From there the conversation goes everywhere… from hoarding and generational clutter to roommates who don’t pay rent, the chaos of shared living, and why decluttering now might save your kids a massive headache someday. Plus, we shout out some amazing listeners taking the podcast around the world and share stories about grandparents, childhood memories, and the importance of experiences over stuff. It’s funny, relatable, a little nostalgic, and the perfect way to wrap up the week. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    The Audition He Almost Missed That Changed Everything

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This week we sit down with longtime friend Derryl Yeager, founder and artistic director of Odyssey Dance Theatre. We’ve known Derryl for years, but this conversation gave us the chance to really hear the full story of how his life and career unfolded. And it’s incredibly inspiring. Derryl grew up in Texas playing sports before discovering dance as a teenager. That decision set him on a path that eventually took him from Ballet West in Salt Lake City to Broadway, where one unexpected moment changed the trajectory of his life. After missing an audition for A Chorus Line, Derryl decided to take matters into his own hands. A cold call to a casting director and a chance encounter at a theater led to an unexpected audition in front of Broadway legend Michael Bennett. He walked away with a contract. Throughout this conversation Derryl shares powerful insight about what it really takes to succeed in the arts and in life. His biggest advice for young dancers and performers: Train. Train. Train. Learn multiple styles. Become versatile. Prepare yourself so when opportunity appears, you stand out. He also talks about the powerful connection between live performers and an audience, why theater still matters, and how Odyssey Dance Theatre has built a culture where dancers continue to grow and improve. If you’re looking for a conversation about discipline, passion, and taking control of your own path, this episode is worth the listen. Derryl and Odyssey Dance Theatre have been entertaining audiences for over 30 years. Their upcoming spring shows include: Chicago Nights Romeo & Juliet: One Funky Tale 📍 The Grand Theatre – Salt Lake City 📅 April 6–11 🎟 Tickets www.odysseydance.com @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    The Little Things Are the Big Things

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) It’s our Monday catch-up episode and we’re talking about the little moments that end up meaning the most. We kick things off previewing our upcoming conversation with longtime friend Derryl Yeager from Odyssey Dance Theatre, whose story is all about creating your own opportunities and carving your own path. Then we get into life lately. Family brunches, birthday surprises, Axel’s hockey season wrapping up, and the everyday moments that feel more meaningful the older we get. We also talk about something we’ve been thinking about a lot since leaving radio a few years ago. Life looks very different now, and it’s allowed us to appreciate the small things we used to rush past. Walking your kid to school. A spontaneous family drive. A hike on a sunny day. Dinner with the people you love. Life is still stressful sometimes, but when you slow down enough to notice it, the little moments are where the good stuff lives. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Belly Buttons, Bidets, and Killing Someone’s Mom (By Accident)

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This episode goes everywhere in the best possible way. We debate belly button hygiene, bidets, and how long is too long to go without a shower. We swap stories about weird habits, airport bathroom horrors, caffeine withdrawal migraines, and the strange things we avoid trying for years. Jess shares the moment she accidentally thought a listener’s mom had passed away in a social media comment, and Frankie remembers doing the same thing during an interview with Andre Agassi. The conversation also takes a heartfelt turn with a reflection on becoming the kind of parent you wish you had growing up. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Excommunicated. Disowned. Free.

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) We had Lyn Christian back on the podcast for the first time since our final days in radio — and this conversation went deep. Lyn, founder of SoulSalt Inc, grew up in Heber City, Utah, riding horses along the railroad tracks and learning early on to trust a quiet inner voice that would guide them through some of the hardest decisions of their life. In this episode, they share about divorce, raising three children, leaving environments that were no longer healthy, being excommunicated after coming out, family rejection, and what it means to build a chosen family when the original one falls away. We also talk about the broader cultural conversations happening right now — faith, power structures, public allegations, and how to stay aware without being consumed by it. Lyn is the author of Soul Salt: Your Personal Field Guide to Confidence, Purpose, and Fulfillment, and their work centers on helping people enliven and enlarge their vision of who they are and what they’re capable of. Learn more about Lyn and their work at: https://soulsalt.com/lyn-christian/ Grab their book here: https://a.co/d/0f4tZsSX Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulsaltinc This episode isn’t about attacking belief systems.

    Growing Pains, College Tours & Turning 55

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This week’s catch-up hits everything. We talk about Jess’s dad turning 71 after a year of health battles and how much it means just to see her parents out to dinner again. We open up about waking up to Axel crying with growing pains and the quiet panic every parent feels in the middle of the night. We share how community has been showing up in powerful ways — from college tours at the University of Utah to new Parkinson’s advocacy connections. There’s Mammoth hockey, mindset lessons about not getting cocky when you’re up 2-0, and Frankie officially entering the 55 club… whether he uses the discount or not. This one feels like pruning season. Letting go. Standing tall. Waiting for better days. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!
