A Day to Remember

Payson Adventure Day

What an amazing day filled with adventure, fun, and community spirit! We came together to celebrate Payson's new branding: Home to Adventure. The highlight of the event was the exciting Dowdle Puzzle reveal, where we witnessed the masterpiece of Payson come to life! From thrilling activities and games to meeting the talented puzzle creator, Eric Dowdle, enjoying live music, dancing, exploring a variety of fantastic vendors, and admiring the stunning car show, the event was a blast! Thank you to the city of Payson for hosting a truly memorable event. We appreciate the vendors and everyone who joined in making the day special.

Until next time, keep embracing the adventurous spirit of Payson! To see more photos from the event visit us on Facebook by clicking anywhere on this page.

Newborn Baby Zebra at Utah's Hogle Zoo

Ziva, a 10-year-old Hartmann’s mountain zebra, delivered the baby zebra — also called a foal — at approximately 7:11 p.m. on June 2. Within the first hour of his birth, the foal nursed stood on his own and began walking.

“He was super active right off the bat, super energetic and doing lots of what we like to call zoomies,” said Rachel Mozingo, a senior keeper of the zoo’s African Savanna exhibit.

“Zoomies” are playful gallops that are natural behavior for young zebras in the wild who need to quickly be on the move from predators after birth, she said.

How Self-Improvement Can Grow Your Business

Growing a business is a top priority for entrepreneurs, However, focusing solely on your company is not the most effective way to achieve business growth. I have discovered over the past decade that working on yourself and your personal development makes a difference in every aspect of your life. Without you, your business cannot function, and if you are not striving to meet your best potential self, your business has no chance of reaching its full potential.

The Best Managers Are "Connectors"

Some managers are like teachers, sharing their skills and experience with their teams. Others are more like cheerleaders who encourage their direct reports to learn on their own. But Sari Wilde explains that the best managers are “connectors” who facilitate peer-to-peer coaching to help their people learn and grow.
