Speaking on Business: Brown Family Law

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Since 2010, Brown Family Law has helped Utah families navigate life’s most challenging transitions. With compassionate guidance and experienced legal counsel, they help clients move forward with confidence. Founding Partner, Marco Brown, joins us with more. Marco Brown: Thankfully, Utah has a relatively low divorce rate, but even that low rate means that every year thousands of Utah families suffer through divorce. Brown Family Law helps those Utahns through one of the toughest times in their lives. We focus exclusively on family law, and on helping our clients maximize time with their kids and maximize their money during and after divorce. This means we begin every case by trying to use private negotiation and mediation so we don’t have to go to open court, fight in public and air dirty laundry. This approach is very successful for our clients since it allows them to work cooperatively to design their life after divorce, and it saves money, heartache and time. If, however, we need to go to court to protect our clients and their families, we will put on boxing gloves and come prepared to fight, and we are good at it. Derek Miller: By helping families find practical solutions during difficult times, Brown Family Law is making a meaningful difference in communities across Utah.

Speaking on Business: Kristin Sokol Instructional Matchmaker

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Successful businesses solve real problems, and today, more entrepreneurs are helping address one of society’s biggest challenges: loneliness and social disconnection. Dating strategist and matchmaker Kristin Sokol joins us to share how her business is helping people build meaningful relationships and lasting connections. Kristin Sokol: Ever since our lives moved onto smartphones, and we stopped looking at each other, loneliness has skyrocketed! That's one reason the dating support and matchmaking industry has grown so much. I've spent the last 20 years helping singles as a dating expert. I've completed graduate work in professional coaching and hold a Science-Based Dating Coach certification through the Global Love Institute. Besides my own marriage and my two kids, who are grown, being part of 150 client marriage stories is the greatest joy of my life. People should note that dating in Utah isn't broken. Every weekend, wedding venues are full! Love is happening all around us. More often than not, it's not your location or culture. It's your approach. Small shifts in mindset and strategy create big opportunities. Falling in love is not completely out of your hands. You have far more influence than you think, and that's really hopeful. Derek Miller: Building meaningful relationships can change lives, and Kristin Sokol is helping people approach dating with confidence, purpose and hope.
