Josh Taylor is a filmmaker, writer, designer, and creative strategist, but at his core he is a Storyteller. When he's not writing a book/screenplay, putting images on film, or working on one of his personal creative endeavors, he helps companies in the midst of pivotal change/transformation moments, discover, craft and share their own stories, through creative content, experiences, and workshops, in order to help their employees and customers build a stronger emotional engagement and human connection to the business, its narrative, and its journey through change. He's also channeling some of his personal curiosity in the form of a new Podcast that he co-created and co-hosts which will release its first season end of Decemeber/early January called the Swell Podcast. The podcast asks three key questions "What does it take to create something that never existed before?" "What does it take to challenge the status quo" and "What does it take to change the world" and it features thought-leaders, world-builders, game-changers, disruptors, and other pleasantly rebellious humans and their stories, journeys, and experiences that shaped them, while they set out to shape the world.
We talk about the reasons we tell stories. Ironically this interview became and interview of the interviewer at times. Fun chat.

Heidi Aldredge is the host of a new podcast series called Heidi's LemonAid Stand. She interviews people who have taken the lemons life has served up and made lemonade. Turning to currency.
Just two days after Thanksgiving in 1989, when Heidi was 16 years old, the police came to the family home and announced that their dad had just killed himself. You have a few choices to make in that moment. Heidi decided to fight for hope and happiness, her mother and four younger brothers each chose different ways to cope with it.
Fast forward a couple of years and Heidi was happily married and went on to raise three wonderful children and have several different careers.
Heidi created and hosted a radio talk show about turning life's lemons into lemonade in Salt Lake City over 20 years ago. She interviewed inspirational people like Steve Makita, Richard Paul Evans, Art and Dallas Berg, Mrs. Utah, Brent Yorganson, and Anita Stansfield. Each interviewee shared experiences of how they turned a traumatic life altering situation into a beneficial more positive experience.
Her show can be heard on the following podcast platforms

One week before the 2020 presidential election, I interviewed Carlo Barrera, a 27-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 interview today is a follow up 3+ weeks post election 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.
I have learned, as I have had him in my home for the past 6 days, that he is a fine young man who has a track record of doing good and contributing to the greatness that is America. He is the embodiment of the merits of this legislation.
