He is Salt Lake: a conversation with local podcaster Chris Holifield

“When you have a small community, each person in that community plays a very major role in making that community great. And without this person maybe this wouldn’t have happened. Or this person got inspired from this person. And it just becomes a chain effect where each person is really what is making the city great. And we need to spotlight those people and give them a chance to tell their story.”
-Chris Holifield from I Am Salt Lake
