I would love to hear from you!

Meet Jane Utesk, a 17-year-old high school junior who owns a Card My Yard Franchise, and her mother Jillian, an accidental AI developer who supports her daughter's entrepreneurial journey. Together they discuss how their business spreads joy through yard signs for special occasions while teaching valuable life lessons about resilience, service, and authenticity.

• Jane shares how owning a sign business at 17 has taught her patience and determination
• Jillian explains how she transitioned from chemistry to marketing to AI development
• The challenges of putting signs in difficult yards and managing a business as a teenager
• Creating meaningful memories through personalized yard displays for celebrations and life milestones
• How Jane's natural empathy and desire to help others shapes her business approach
• The impact of their signs, from Cancer treatment celebrations to Divorce parties
• Finding joy in small gestures like smiles and conversations rather than grand gestures
• Balancing helping others with self-care and setting boundaries
• The importance of authenticity and knowing yourself to live a joy-centered life

Meet Nathaniel P. Scheer, host of MindForce. Born in Chico, CA, Nate has lived a life of ups and downs, from a challenging childhood to finding purpose in the Air Force. He's passionate about helping others achieve their goals and find happiness.

He's faced tough times, like losing one grandma to suicide and another to "routine" heart surgery, and his grandpa to a sudden brain aneurysm. He's also navigated the challenges of divorce, co-parenting, and moving around the world as a member of the military, seperated from your family support system.
