  • We Can Build a Perfect Society | Curt Derby
    Mar 23 2026

    Skylar Bytendorp welcomes back Curt Derby as Utah Daily’s first repeat guest to discuss Curt’s book, “Everybody’s Happy, Everybody Wins: How to Build a Perfect Society,” and how their first interview helped inspire his YouTube/podcasting approach to promoting it. Curt argues the U.S. is close to a “perfect society” but remains divided because power alternates between Democrats and Republicans, leaving half the country unhappy; he proposes a principles-based “Happy Party” built on “four pillars of freedom” rather than policy battles. They explore how those principles apply to issues like abortion, immigration, taxes, and military use. Curt describes tools like an Easy Tracker app/website for transparent funding and suggests change could start locally, noting winning presidents average about 23% of Americans’ votes.

  • Golfing Community and Radio | Jan Brownstein
    Mar 16 2026

    Girls Go Golfing Founder Jan Brownstein on Building Utah’s Largest Women’s Golf Network


    Host Skylar Bytendorp interviews Jan Brownstein, founder of Girls Go Golfing, Utah’s largest women’s golfing network. Jan explains how the group grew rapidly—from about 100 women in its first year to 900 by year three, then to nearly 14,000 in the last 14 months—while remaining about 87% Utah-based and expanding nationally. She shares why she started the community after years of golfing mostly alone or with men, how the name evolved from “Girls Gone Golfing,” and how the group focuses on encouragement, inclusivity, and friendships for all skill levels and ages (from an 18-year-old to an 81-year-old). Jan discusses her role as co-host of Utah Golf Radio on ESPN 700 with Paul “Peg” Meyer, and highlights the First Tee program that brings golf to underprivileged kids. The episode covers women’s and youth golf opportunities in Utah, including unused D1/D2 girls golf scholarships and Jan’s granddaughter earning a four-year college scholarship after starting golf five years earlier. Jen outlines Girls Go Golfing activities such as monthly meetups, winter simulator golf, and an annual Masters-weekend trip to Page, Arizona, which now draws participants from across the U.S. She also shares her personal golf habits, including playing early morning rounds before work and a record 214 consecutive days of golf. Finally, Jan explains how to join via the Girls Go Golfing Facebook group, upcoming membership plans, social channels, and the new website GirlsGo.golf featuring “glam, gear, and growth,” including sponsor Uto Golf and tips from women golf pros in Utah.
