In this episode, Jeremy Andrus sits down with Dan and shares his understanding of what it takes to build a unique and extraordinary growth culture.
Jeremy Andrus is President & CEO of Traeger Grills, the original wood pellet grill brand that has taken the outdoor cooking world by storm. He and a financial partner acquired the company in 2014, transforming it from a small, regional, 26-year-old business into a multi-hundred-million-dollar brand that owns over 50% of the global wood pellet grill market. This was largely achieved by Jeremy leading an overhaul that would result in moving the company’s headquarters from Oregon to Utah and rebuilding its team with an emphasis on the people and culture behind the company. Jeremy took Traeger public on the NYSE in July 2021. While Traeger has become Jeremy’s most successful growth story, it isn’t his first. He joined start-up Skullcandy in 2005 with 4 employees and less than $1m in sales. Under his leadership, Skullcandy disrupted the headphone and wearable electronic space, growing into a $300m public company. Jeremy was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2016, MountainWest Capital Network Utah Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017, and was inducted into the Utah Technology Council Hall of Fame in 2018. Jeremy received his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and B.A. from Brigham Young University. He lives in Salt Lake City with his wife Kristin and their six children. After years of experimenting and working with professional pitmasters and chefs, Jeremy now makes the perfect steak.

Mitt Romney tells Biden to send fighter jets to Ukraine ASAP.

Tristen Ikaika, also known as the Ring King, launched his ring brand in 2017. It all started with a spoon he took from his parent’s house in Orem, handcrafting it into a one-of-a-kind ring that soon grabbed the attention of his friends and family.
After launching his site, Tristen dropped the ring collection that have sold out in hours. His unisex designs are inspired by his worldwide travels and emotions dealing with his father’s serious health issues. This inspired his best-selling SAD-BOI ring. Tristen’s unique pieces are more than just rings, they leave a lasting impression that customers can connect with.
After being featured on Shark Tank and receiving an offer, Tristen was able to use his rapid success to help pay off his parents’ home, all because of the spoon he “stole” from that very same home year before.
Now, he is sitting down with Fresh Off The Set to talk about his success!

When it comes to increasing positive outcomes for families, research shows that the following five strengths play a major role in engaging parents and building the best outcomes for children.
Jade Elliott spoke with Trisha Reynolds, Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention Services Administrator, Division of Child and Family Services, about what parents can do.
Parental Resilience: Resilience is the ability to bounce back in difficult times. It means having good coping skills and self-care strategies.
Social Connection: Parents who have more support are more responsive to their kids, have better overall moods, and experience less depression, anxiety and anger.
Knowledge of Parenting & Child Development: There is always room to improve our knowledge and parenting skills. No parent knows everything about parenting children.
Social & Emotional Competence of Children: Children’s social skills and emotional skills are just as important as academic skills.
Concrete Supports: Services that can assist with things like housing, child care, and medical care will help your family function well, especially in difficult times like we are facing right now. Knowing where to find help and taking the step to ask for it will make you and your family stronger.
