    What if your toddler's tantrum is more than a phase?

    In this episode of Untold – The Best Kept Secrets of Utah, we sit down with Rebecca Dutson, President and CEO of the Children’s Center Utah, to explore the groundbreaking work her organization is doing to support the mental health of our youngest children—those from birth to age six.

    With over six decades of service, the Children’s Center Utah is a trailblazer in early childhood mental health. Rebecca shares the science behind infant and toddler therapy, the lasting impact of trauma in the earliest years, and why the body remembers even when children can’t yet speak. Through evidence-based and trauma-informed care, the Center helps families heal and build stronger bonds—preventing long-term consequences before they take root.

    We also dive into Rebecca’s unique career path from banking to the nonprofit world, her 25+ years at United Way, and her insights into leadership, volunteerism, and building trust in mission-driven work. She breaks down how CCU is scaling their services with a 10-year expansion plan—including a new campus in Utah County—to serve more families across the state.

    This episode is both eye-opening and inspiring for anyone who cares about mental health, parenting, or creating lasting impact in their community.

  • SE01E20 - From the Legal Bar to Juice Bars - A Father's Leap of Faith | Brad Davis | Untold
    Aug 26 2025

    In this energizing episode of Untold - The Best Kept Secrets of Utah, we sit down with Brad Davis, founder of Roxberry Juice Company—a thriving smoothie and juice franchise born from a lawyer's leap of faith and a garage-turned-laboratory.
    Brad shares the incredible journey from his days practicing law to building Zuka Juice, selling it to Jamba Juice, and eventually launching Roxberry. You'll hear how he balanced ambition with family priorities, turned failure into innovation, and built a brand that listens to franchisees—taking inspiration from the streets rather than the boardroom.
    He opens up about the ups and downs of international expansion, the lessons learned from missed opportunities in Korea, and what it really takes to make a franchise location outperform the rest. You’ll also get an inside look at how Brad runs Roxberry as a family business, testing smoothies with his kids in the garage and building a culture of continuous improvement and community connection.
    Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a franchisee looking to grow, or someone who loves a good origin story, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, laughs, and inspiration.

    We hope you enjoyed this episode of Untold.
