Friday Conversation With 2022 Hall of Fame Inductees

Silicon Slopes 2022 Hall of Fame Inductees Jeanette Bennett (Utah Valley Magazine), John Pestana (ObservePoint), and Jonathan Johnson (Overstock) talk to Clint Betts about how to be—and what it takes to be—successful, taking a whole person, whole community approach to entrepreneurship, the importance of looking to the past while also investing in long-term ideas and value-based decisions for the future, the role diversity and inclusion has had on their successes, why Utah is a unique and thriving place for innovation and entrepreneurship, how to be proactively involved in the Silicon Slopes community, the complexity of competition and iteration in a startup ecosystem, the difference in opportunity between the Wasatch Front and rural communities, the role and evolution of higher education, and how fear is the opposite of innovation and the future of Utah is bright.
