Why do so many families turn down work opportunities—and how can we fix that?In this thought-provoking episode of the Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Nic Dunn, vice president of strategy at the Sutherland Institute, to explore how benefit cliffs, broken welfare incentives, and poorly designed safety nets can trap people in poverty instead of lifting them out of it.Nick shares his personal journey into public policy, his belief in the dignity of work, and the data-driven case for state-led welfare innovation that removes the fear of losing benefits for earning more. This episode is all about restoring upward mobility and helping families truly prosper.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com and get even greater value with a subscription to my Substack newsletter at vanceginn.substack.com.

Sutherland Institute's Nic Dunn on Work/Life Balance surveying -- Utah ranks 6th for seasonal depression

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. Utah is the youngest state in the nation with over half of our population under the age of 35. Helping businesses create family friendly environments is a priority for Nic Dunn who leads Utah Community Builders, a 501(c)(3) charitable institution. Here's Nic with more. NIC DUNN Working parents deserve the ability to balance their employment and taking care of their kids in a way that meets their family's needs and preferences. Our new statewide initiative, Family Friendly Work, uses high-quality data and best practices to equip businesses with information to be more family friendly in recruitment, retention and management.  We believe that businesses and parents need a wide variety of options to choose solutions that work best for THEM and that anything our community does to help should be targeted and informed by good data.  We're listening directly to Utah's working parents to bring insights and actionable information to  employers, providing the tools and information they need to help their employees be successful at work AND at home.  By promoting the principles that foster a family friendly workplace, we can strengthen Utah as the best place in the nation to work AND raise a family.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Three years ago, the Salt Lake Chamber launched the Utah Community Builders Foundation, a non-profit organization created to address critical social and community issues. Nic Dunn leads that program. NIC DUNN The best path out of poverty is through stable, meaningful work. Our new statewide initiative, the Opportunity Coalition, strengthens upward mobility by removing barriers to work, forging stronger social capital connections between businesses with opportunities and Utahns in poverty, and leveraging upskilling so Utahns can work toward self-sufficiency. We believe that Utahns in poverty are ASSETS to our state, not liabilities, and that the private sector, with MANY open job opportunities, is best equipped to lead a work centered approach to upward mobility. Utahns fighting to escape poverty understand the barriers that stand in their way, and by listening to them, we're building best practices that all businesses can follow. Our goal is to help Utah families, and our businesses, thrive by addressing the workforce shortage and creating stronger avenues of upward mobility for everyone. Google Utah Community Builders for more information. DEREK MILLER If your business is struggling to find workers, or if you simply care about creating better opportunities for Utahns to escape poverty, contact the Utah Community Builders at the Salt Lake Chamber. We're here to help you succeed. I'm Derek Miller with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business. Originally Aired: April 1, 2022

The Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce has its Safe to work plan put in place for when people return to work. Nic Dunn, President of Utah Valley Chamber of Commerce joins Lee to discuss what the “orange” phase looks like in Utah County. 

James Routledge and George Bettany, founders of the mental health startup Sanctus, have been on a mission for the last two years to try and change the perceptions of mental health - with the intention of one day putting the first mental health gym on the high street.Their experiences with mental health from before Sanctus and through their work with businesses around the UK to create impartial, safe spaces for employees to work on their mental health have made them realise just how much the perceptions need to change and how we need to get people talking about their mental health in day to day conversation. Is it possible to find the calm in the chaos of each of our lives?We all have our own level of chaos that impacts our mental health. So we invited on a couple of people who have had their fair share of dealing with chaos to see how they dealt with it and see if a solution can be found.Before going into paramedic training, Nic Dunn underwent a surgery that left him with chronic pain and struggles with anxiety as a result. Throughout his studies, his difficulties eventually led him to finding mindfulness as a technique to deal with both the physical and emotional difficulties of being a paramedic - from helping a pensioner after a fall to resuscitating somebody in the street on a day to day basis.After realising he wanted to be a teacher, Ed Watson never fully appreciated the workload required to be a teacher. Working in schools that really needed help with a diverse range of students, Ed's desire for success led him to winning a teaching award despite the unbelievable stress of the job. Despite being shuttled into a bus on the first day after a suspected attack from a rival school and being punched in class, the chaos that really got to Ed was the constant disruptions that formed years of chaos. Music Credits:"Loopster, Bicycle, Odyssey, Perspectives" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Chris and Jeremy Voros tell us about U Work 4 Utah's creative methods to influence Utah's representatives to moderate their views.  We discuss political gerrymandering.  Steve Bannon wants to unseat Orrin Hatch and a bunch of other “establishment” Republicans. Ben McAdams seriously considers running for UTCD4. Also featuring Nic Dunn of Utah Young Republicans!  http://www.uwork4utah.com/    

We had this great idea to bring in the President of the Young Democrats of Utah, Lorcan Murphy, and then have him square off against our recent guest Nic Dunn, chair of the Utah Young Republicans. We were expecting a knife fight, but what we got was a respectful, reasoned, and occasionally funny discussion on how to build bridges with the other side while still pushing for things you believe in. That's not gonna sell any podcasts! We also discuss Provo's Love Loud festival and the horrifying prospect of Sheriff Joe Arpaio becoming a US Senator. ::Shudder::  

Well, it's come to this. There are Nazis in America and we have to talk about them. We're sorry. Luckily, we get some help from a decent guy on the other side of the aisle: Nic Dunn, chair of the Utah Young Republicans. The only way out of this thing is reasoned discussions from decent people in both parties. So here's our shot at that.  We also touch on Utah's primary in CD3 (congrats John Curtis) and the  LDS Church's response to white nationalists within its membership. Don't miss our trailer for the biggest new movie of the fall season. You'll know it when you hear it.
