We love it when businesses find ways to serve the community! 🙌

Recently, 30 Utah Walmart associates from 11 stores across the Salt Lake Valley volunteered to teach children from Boys & Girls Clubs summer programs how to fish at Willow Pond in Murray. 🎣

Walmart provided nearly 200 fishing poles, live bait, and other gear to the kids to hook them on a new outdoor activity. The retailer also donated $3,000 in grant money to help fund Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Salt Lake summer program.

Most people get into humanitarian work to make a difference. But how do you measure “making a difference”? To leaders at CHOICE Humanitarian, one way they know they’re on the right track is returning to projects decades-old to see them still fully functioning because the community members themselves own their projects and integrate them into their daily lives.

CHOICE Humanitarian's mission is to disrupt global poverty through health, education, economic development, and agriculture initiatives.

We recently captured a “whale” of a sunset at the intersection of 9th and 9th in Salt Lake City! 🐋🌅 🌈Officially named “Out of the Blue,” the colorful sculpture was commissioned by the Salt Lake City Arts Council, sculpted by Stephen Kesler, and painted by muralist Mike Murdock 🎨 We recommend making the trip and then having some dinner at one of the amazing restaurants in the area.

In the end, when you think about it, Cinderella’s story was all about a shoe. But as Peggy Faulkner, a retired sheriff, discovered recently, there’s still plenty of magic to be found in a shoe, even if nowadays it appears in the form of a $5 yellow shoe organizer at an estate sale.

Welcome to Nugent Magazine

Never in my life did I think I would ever say this next friggin sentence but here it goes… welcome to the premiere issue of Nugent Magazine!

Before I tell you why I did this and what you can expect in every issue, let me address the title of the mag…NUGENT. This was NOT my idea! Left to me, it probably would have been called, “Rugby Is Awesome” or “Check Out My Cool Kids” or maybe even “Stuff About Life And Money”. But the brain trust over at Sinerje Media insisted those were too long and it must be called NUGENT. So here we are.

Whether you like the title or think it makes me look like a pompous ass, I do hope you like the stuff inside. I’m deeply involved in the content selection and approval. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me answer the question I’m sure I’ll get going forward:

“Why a magazine?” Well, at the risk of ticking somebody off, here’s the truth; because I think most magazines suck. Well, not most magazines, but most magazines connected in any way to the wealth management industry. It seems like every time I read anything in print from a financial advisor, it is SO BORING it actually pi**es me off! These nerds make the rest of us seem like all we talk about is spreadsheets, portfolios and account balances. WTF! Not. Even. Close.
