My guest on the show today is my favorite Trump supporter Jamie Lamb. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Wrong or right, she, like millions of other Americans, felt they had a grievance during and after the 2020 presidential election. She, travled to Washington DC on January 6th of 2021 to see then President Donald Trump's keynote address at the Save America March sponsored by Women for America First. Settle in for a first hand witness on the events of that now infamous day in our nations' Capital from her perspective. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message

My guest today is Jennifer Yeo, principle broker and founder of Presidio Real Estate in 2011. She has 11 offices in the state of Utah and one in Idaho. Years ago, she read a Forbes magazine article that said that the top 3 most untrusted professions were 1. Car Salesman, 2. Lawyers and 3. Realtors. What a shock this was to her as she loved helping others dream of homeownership become a reality. She was at a large brokerage that had a few agents go to prison that year for mortgage fraud. She thought, these are my colleagues? It was disturbing to say the least, and she longed for something better. Somewhere that the "Good Guys" of the industry could thrive. So with a glimmer of hope and a lot of determination, she decided there was never a better time to start a brokerage. It's been her mission to "Raise the bar".

One week before the 2020 presidential election, I interviewed Carlo Barrera, a 28-year-old Dreamer, originally brought to the US when he was 6-years old from Queretaro, Mexico.
I had him on the show for a couple reasons. 1, I wanted to know more about the Dream Act from a personal perspective and 2, to try and humanize policy. We, and when I say we I mostly mean I, often don't realize that legislation and policies enacted by our officials have consequences that affect people's lives. It's easy to dismiss the magnitute of such policies when we don't have a personal connection to them.
Our 4th interview today is a follow up 4+ months post Biden inauguration to get a pulse on how he and 750,000 other similar Dreamers are feeling and what the next steps are as they hope for a pathway to permanent citizenship. The Democrats have control of the House, Senate and Presidency so one would think passing this legislation would be a slam dunk. No so much.

My guest today is Spencer Ivey, a successful entrepreneur and owner of Ivey League Fabrication in Spanish Fork, Utah. His team creates some of the most amazing custom metal artwork, gates, railings and staircases in the state.
Strap in for this wild story of trauma, depression, addiction, a failed suicide attempt and a dedicated climb to the success you see today.
Shortly after high school he became heavily addicted to heroin and cocaine. After about 3 years of hard living he decided a sereious change was in order.
No longer was he going to be controlled by this substance. After 18 months of an outpatient program he was able to get and stay clean. Holding a steady welding job he was able to pay off his past debts, legal fees and court fines. He tried a little college after earning his GED. The best thing he learned was that he was and is capable of doing anything with discipline and determination.
He soon realized that business and entrepreneurship was his path. He quit his job, bought a new truck, signed a contract to pay $27K in business consulting then spent his last paycheck on a welding machine. Best investment ever. 5 months later he left college and started what is now Ivey League Fabrication. With nothing to lose, perseverance, and a relentless drive to prove he was not a worthless drug addict, he was able to make $1 million in revenue in the third year business.
