💻 Remember those wild “PC Laptops” commercials from the 2000s? The guy yelling “We love you!” on your TV at 1 a.m.? Turns out, he wasn’t just a gimmick—he was building a business empire behind the scenes.

In this episode of UtahPreneur, we sit down with Dan Young, the mastermind behind PC Laptops, Xidax, and multiple other ventures that quietly made him millions. From selling sunglasses at swap meets to running a crypto hedge fund, Dan’s path to success is as unconventional as it is inspiring.

We talk about the power of personal branding, what it really takes to scale a tech business, and how Dan bet big on himself—even when it meant living behind his first store. He opens up about surviving burnouts, finding clarity through chaos, and why authenticity is still his secret weapon.

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to “The Laptop Man” — or how to turn hustle and heart into generational wealth — this episode is a must-listen.

🪧 You’ve seen her face—on highways, side streets, and city centers across Utah. But who is Julia Reagan? And why were 300+ billboards dedicated to her?

In this episode of UtahPreneur, we sit down with Bill Reagan, the man behind Reagan Outdoor Advertising, to uncover the emotional story behind the Julia Reagan billboards that captured the state’s attention. We talk about how a grieving husband used his billion-dollar billboard company to honor his late wife, and how love, legacy, and entrepreneurship intersect in one of Utah’s most powerful business stories.

We also explore the rise of Reagan Outdoor Advertising from humble beginnings to becoming one of the largest family-run billboard empires in the western United States. Bill shares insights on scaling a business, building lasting customer relationships, and why storytelling still matters in advertising.

Whether you’ve driven past one of those iconic billboards or are just curious about the man and the mission behind them, this episode is unforgettable.
