Episode Description

Welcome to a transformative conversation as we sit down with Ashley Atkinson, the director of the Perpetual Housing Fund in Salt Lake City. As we peel back the layers of Ashley's journey, you'll discover her commitment to offering affordable housing solutions in her childhood home city. Drawing from her experiences growing up in Oakley and her education at the University of Utah, she now channels her passion into making housing accessible to low-income individuals and helping them gain equity.

What does it mean to grow up in a rural setting, study finance, and then venture into the real estate development sector? We share our personal stories, from the peacefulness of rural life to our interactions with an influential step-uncle at the University of Utah. It’s a tale of educational growth, professional shifts, and the burgeoning importance of multi-family housing in urban areas. Together, we explore the challenges and rewards of working in the finance and real estate sectors.

As we delve deeper, we navigate through the complex world of affordable housing and the innovative strategies at play. We discuss the implications of ROI, tax ramifications, and introduce a game-changing concept - form-based zoning. The larger conversation circles around the creative approach of the 515 East 100 South building project and the fascinating world of multi-family projects. But it's not all work and no play. We also share our love for Utah, our favorite outdoor activities, and our memorable experiences in Yonder, a popular glamping destination. Join us as we explore the intersection of affordable housing, career journeys, and the allure of Utah's outdoors.

Box 621, Marshall, MI 49068 Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town Stephen Leacock Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is a sequence of stories by Stephen Leacock, first published in 1912. It is generally considered to be one of the most enduring classics of Canadian humorous literature. The fictional setting for these stories is Mariposa, a small town on the shore of Lake Wissanotti. Although drawn from his experiences in Orillia, Ontario, Leacock notes: "Mariposa is not a real town. On the contrary, it is about seventy or eighty of them. You may find them all the way from Lake Superior to the sea, with the same square streets and the same maple trees and the same churches and hotels."This work has remained popular for its universal appeal. Many of the characters, though modelled on townspeople of Orillia, are small town archetypes. Their shortcomings and weaknesses are presented in a humorous but affectionate way. Often, the narrator exaggerates the importance of the events in Mariposa compared to the rest of the world. For example, when there is a count Small Steps, Giant Leaps National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA’s technical workforce put boots on the Moon, tire tracks on Mars, and the first reusable spacecraft in orbit around the Earth. Learn what’s next as they build missions that redefine the future with amazing discoveries and remarkable innovations.
