#plugintodevin Show - Devin Thorpe for Congress Guest: Isaac Nuttall. Issue: Making government more of, for, and by the people (i.e Campaign Finance Reform, Improving Voter Participation, etc.) I see many people at my school (Timpanogos), and community abroad, who are affected heavily by voter apathy, seeing no feasible way to improve politics at all level. This has led to depressingly low voter turnout levels for young people in my community, leading to one party holding a monopoly on state and local politics. I know that if young people, my friends, classmates, and neighbors were to engage in the political process, state and local politics would be far more reflective of their, as well as my, pressing issues. This issue of making government more of for and by the people, particularly among traditionally silent voting groups, is paramount above all other issues. I believe that we need extensive campaign finance reform to make our leaders more beholden to their constituents and less to wealthy donors. A solution I support is Seattle's method, in which we give every eligible voter $100 in public money to donate to whatever candidate they want; candidates who accept these donations agree not to accept any donations above $250. As for improving accessibility to voting and decreasing voter apathy, I support measures such as same-day registration, making Election Day a Federal Holiday, and Automatic Voter Registration. However, as long as they are fully accessible to all U.S Citizens, I am not neccessarily worried by Photo-ID Requirements. Bio: My name is Isaac Nuttall. I have lived in seven different places including India, Texas, Philadelphia, Utah, etc... I moved to Lindon Utah from Keller Texas two years ago, having gone to the National Finals of the National History Bee three years in a row, but my interests were rapidly shifting from history to politics, having been shocked along with the rest of the country by the election of Donald Trump. I have volunteered for a handful of political campaigns including Daniel Friend, Luz Escamilla, James Singer, etc... I now love politics and speech and debate, with my main events being Student Congress and Extemporaneous Speaking, which has opened a love within me for the many issues facing our country, and how we as Americans must recognize and work towards the common good. I am most passionate about how we can make politicians more beholden to their constituents and less to wealthy donors, improve access to voting and improve voter participation and in essence, make government more of for and by the people, the issue I hope to speak on in the podcast.

AJ Smith was gracious enough to be a guest to give listeners a peak into the Jive Communications audio/video/conferencing communication platform. My company has been a Jive customer for almost 5 months and we have had nothing but a great experience. Since 2004, I've used multiple vendors and experienced communication challenges that I just had to live with. If there is no other service provider that can do better, you stay with the vendor. As soon as my company used Jive Communications, the audio became clearer, the latency issues went away and my company had a lot more practical tools, features and enhancements than it ever had since 2004. Again, I want to thank AJ Smith for taking time out of his busy schedule to share good information with my listening audience. If anyone has questions or want to schedule a consultation with AJ, his direct phone number in Utah is: (385) 205-5861. Click HERE to visit Jive Communications on the Internet. Make it a great day.

Every small business wants more traffic to their websites, regardless of the industry, but traffic alone does not guarantee success, there must be a certain level of conversion and long-term engagement with the online users, and one of the best ways to do this is with A/B Testing. Chris Dayley is a Digitial Marketing Entrepreneur from Lindon Utah and his company Disruptive Advertising help business learn what their users want on their websites using psychological based testing and analytics. When I had my podiatry business in Cairns, I delved into A/B testing on a small scale, so it's great to have Chris Dayley explain this process in more detail. The Purpose of A/B Testing When you drive people to your website using specific SEO you want to see conversion results. The purpose of A/B Testing is to increase the results by splitting the traffic to different landing pages and learning what your audience ultimately wants to see on your website. There is a lot of psychology involved to work out what influences people to make certain decisions when they're online. Sometimes Success Is Not Always Success A lot of small business owners never look at their analytics and therefore never know why their online campaign failed. But a successful campaign is not always a good thing either, especially if the business owners do not know why it was a success without knowing why it's hard to duplicate. Do Not Copy Your Competitors Copying your competitors is not a smart business move. Your campaign could crash and burn because your audience and brand are unique to you, therefore taking the same approach as a competitor won't work, or work as well as it could. An Existence Test It's important to work out what should and should not be on specific website pages. For example, on your homepage, do you have too much information or too little? Have you tested what happens if you remove sections, numbers of products and amount of information available? Information overload can be a detriment. However, some website will produce better results with more information or products. Styling and colour, even though visually significant, is not as important as the user experience and how easy it is to find what they are looking for on your website. Words On A Page The amount of text on a page can attract and repel people depending on how they are consuming your content. There is a different user experience between consuming content on a desktop computer and a mobile telephone. Mobile users tend to prefer a shorter length blog, however, if it is too short it can run the risk of not having enough depth, so keep this in mind when writing. What does your audience want? Where Do You Start With Split Testing? Google Optimize is perfect for A/B Testing, and it lets you select which pages on your website you want to test, it allows you to edit those pages, or create a new page. To learn more follow the instructions, or you can go to the Disruptive Advertising website and download the free STARTER GUIDE. "Every Small Business Should Be Doing Some Form Of Testing". Testing Changes Your Mindset When you're in testing mode, it puts you in the mindset of wanting what's best for the end user, your audience. If you're not testing, you're not learning. If you're not sure where to start, pick something and test it. It could be the headline, a photo, the amount of text on the page, or different action buttons. Ask good business questions and develop a hypothesis. Declutter Large Websites If you have hundreds of articles and blogs, you can condense them, update them and re-release, or delete them altogether if outdated. Take a look at your Google Analytics and work out your most successful pages with consistent traffic. Make your decisions based on data, not assumptions. High Traffic & Low Conversions If your traffic is high, but your conversions are low don't assume you have to change the webpage, first take a close look your Google Analytics to see where your traffic is being directed from. If most of your traffic is coming from Facebook Ads, it could be crappy traffic. Contact your Web Developer if you don't know how to get into your website google analytics. Your Website Should Be Consistently Evolving Many people create a website and do nothing with it, or they do a token redesign every 12-months, and if this is all you're doing your missing some perfect opportunities to increased traffic. Audience behaviour is constantly changing and your website must do the same. It's all about the user experience and therefore you need to have clearly defined buttons on every page.

Heather starts off by sharing her thrilling saga that we could title, “The stray cat and the invasion of the chicken coop.” Riveting, we’re sure! Then Pastor Chad Johnson of Fellowship Bible Church in Lindon Utah led our key verse conversation, explaining that even in times of distress, we can still have a song in our heart, recognizing God’s love and grace even when things are hard. Good stuff!
What do Buddy the Elf and the Saints of Heaven have in common? No spoilers here. Listen and find out! Mike and Heather are joined by Pastor Chad Johnson, of Fellowship Bible Church, challenging God's people everywhere to shout out the true hope of Christmas! (By the way, that's Jesus!)
We're off to a goofy start as we begin mid-conversation about Key Radio plans for studio remodeling efforts, and somehow Heather gets duped into singing the song from Frozen. But Pastor Chad Johnson of Fellowship Bible Church in Lindon Utah gives us focus as we discuss Romans 11:33-36, and warns us to watch our lives and watch our doctrine. Simply put, we need to know who God is otherwise we believe in a god that's not God. And with a proper understanding of God, we can have a courage and confidence in our walk with him, and a tremendous relationship through Jesus. Good stuff!
