Building Utah
This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 1978, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah has connected caring adult mentors with young people who need extra support, building one-to-one relationships that help kids grow in confidence, succeed in school and create brighter futures. President and CEO, Jill Sundstrom, joins us with more.
Jill Sundstrom:
Today’s youth face rising mental health challenges, widening economic gaps and ongoing absenteeism that has persisted since the pandemic. Yet research shows that mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters can help transform these trajectories.
Mentored youth experience reduced depressive symptoms, stronger emotional regulation, improved school attendance and better academic performance. They are also 20% more likely to enroll in college and ultimately earn 15% more over their lifetimes, increasing economic mobility across Utah communities.
For businesses, mentorship is a strategic investment. It helps strengthen the future workforce by building the soft skills employers need most – communication, reliability and emotional intelligence. Last Year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah served 892 youth through one-to-one mentoring.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah isn’t just changing individual lives — it’s helping build a stronger, more resilient Utah economy and community.

Speaking on Business: Aspen Peak Productions
Episode in
Building Utah
This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Aspen Peak Productions brings events to life, handling everything from audio and lighting to staging and design. They work on corporate, social and nonprofit events, making sure every detail comes together for a seamless, high-quality experience. Co-Owner, Rachel Sorrels-Jones, joins us with more.
Rachel Sorrels-Jones:
We’ve all been there before: a corporate summit with harsh lights, bad audio and a distracted audience. As an event host, your biggest fear is being forgettable. Today the ‘standard’ event is dead, and the Experience is here to stay.
For years, AV was seen as a utility — like electricity. You plugged it in, and it worked. But now, your audience is different. Whether you’re a corporate planner or a non-profit director, you aren’t just competing with other events; you’re competing with the device in their hand.
This is where Production Design comes in, to be an architect of atmosphere. When we integrate immersive visuals, we aren’t just showing a slide deck — we’re building a world around your message. When you invest in intentional design, your ROI shows up in employee engagement, donor connection and brand loyalty.
Let us help you focus on your guests, knowing the environment is working for you, not against you.
Derek Miller:
By elevating events across Utah and bringing people together through thoughtful design and technical expertise, they continue to support local businesses and communities. Learn more at AspenPeakProductions.com. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.

At its core, the company is all about comfort and community. Owner and Founder, Sandi Hendry, joins us with more.
Sandi Hendry:
Minky Couture began with a desire to bring comfort to those in need. In 2009, when my daughter became ill and was hospitalized, I longed for a way to bring her comfort in her recovery. Unable to find the perfect blanket to bring her solace, I created one myself – giving rise to Minky Couture, best blanket ever.
After 30 years as a teacher, I knew that I wanted Minky Couture to positively impact as many lives as possible. We employ local mothers as seamstresses, allowing them to work from home providing for their families and strengthening our community.
Our “Heart of Minky” program is another way we give back, donating thousands of Mini Minky blankets each month to NICUs across the country. These blankets bring warmth and comfort to premature babies and to their families during very difficult times.
At Minky Couture, every blanket is made with the highest quality fabric, ensuring both softness and luxury for years to come.
