From Utah County to iHeartRadio: Wolfman Dan Hopes to Turn National Opportunity Into Local Impact

November 9, 2026

What if an opportunity to host a national podcast could help give Utah County veterans, musicians, and everyday people a bigger voice? That’s the question driving my participation in the 2026 Top Host competition, a nationwide contest offering a grand prize package that includes $25,000, an appearance on the On Air with Ryan Seacrest podcast, and the opportunity to participate in a six-episode podcast produced by iHeartRadio. The competition began in October and continues through several elimination rounds, culminating in the finals in December. I’ve been fortunate to receive tremendous support from friends, family, and members of our community throughout the competition, and I’m hopeful that support will carry me

Situational Awareness: The Skill of Paying Attention to What Is Happening Around You

October 31, 2026

Situational awareness sounds like something taught to pilots, police officers, soldiers, or emergency responders, but it is a skill almost everyone uses every day. At its simplest, situational awareness means noticing what is happening around you, understanding what it means, and recognizing what might happen next. You use it when driving and notice a car drifting toward your lane. You use it when you walk into a room and immediately sense tension between two people. You use it when you realize the restaurant is closing and perhaps it is time to finish your conversation. You use it when you notice someone struggling and recognize that they could use some help

If You Can’t Find the Answer to Your Problem, You May Have the Wrong Problem

October 30, 2026

Why Better Solutions Often Begin With Better Questions We live at an interesting point in human history. Most of the world’s accumulated knowledge is available from a device we carry in our pocket. Within seconds, we can search for instructions, research a topic, watch someone demonstrate a skill, read the experiences of thousands of other people, or ask artificial intelligence to help us think through a problem. With access to that much information, you might think it would be almost impossible to encounter a problem for which an answer cannot be found. Yet it happens all the time. We search. We ask people for advice. We try different solutions. We

Sixty Is the New Forty-Eight

October 28, 2026

Am I getting old? Have I gotten old? Am I old? Maybe. Maybe not. This summer, I had a birthday. This is something that happens every summer, but this one was a little bit different. It hit a little bit harder. This summer, I turned 60 years old. Now, I know what they say: “You’re only as old as you feel,” and “Age is just a number; it doesn’t mean anything,” and “Don’t think of it as growing older;  think of it as gaining experience.” That’s all good and well —until the number of your age starts with a “6.” People get gray hair in their sixties. People retire in

Mapleton ‘Ice Cream Man’ Showing Kindness One After School Treat at a Time

October 27, 2026

For the past five years, Dane Englund of Mapleton has been passing out ice cream treats every Wednesday to kids on the way home from school during the warmer months. “He opens up his garage door and has the little garage fridge that he stocks the freezer full of ice cream bars, ice cream sandwiches and popsicles and then lets each kid go through the line and just pick what they want,” Suzanne Englund said. Serve Daily spoke to Suzanne Englund last month, and she said that she wanted to share with the community the kindness her father-in-law has shown over the years —even during a difficult time in his
