Homelessness is something in Salt Lake that most people agree isn't doing better and feel like there isn't much of a great solution in sight. So we talk a lot about that. Talk about a little bit of the controversy around it, about projects taking too long and not seeing the results that some people would have hoped by now. But Preston talks about that and hope is in the future and a lot of recent new developments on how well that project is going. Second, this week is the last week for the state fair, so make sure to make that a priority. It's always fun to see how many people come out for that, as well as all the good food that shows up. Eat a couple of deep fried Oreos and some funnel cake and then wheel me out of there that shows up, eat a couple deep fried Oreos and some funnel cake and then wheel me out of there.

Also, this week's guest. So this week we have a woman by the name of Sherry Jensen. Now Sherry is a economics professor at Salt Lake Community College. She's gotten her PhD in economics from Clemson and is an amazing professor. But also she is the director of a nonprofit under the Junior League called Women Helping Women. It is a nonprofit organization helping women, taking control back over their lives and helping them in these transitions and truly helping them where they stand. So a lot of really great conversations around that. They're going to be the beneficiary of an event coming up with positions and truly helping them where they stand.
