Jeremy Cunningham on positive mentors, finding his career stride, and raising awareness for Alzheimer's disease

Jeremy Cunningham (Public Policy Director with the Alzheimer’s Association, Utah Chapter) joins Utah's First Lady, Abby Cox, to talk about how the growth in technology has made an impact on the mental health of our youth, moving to Utah with nothing to his name, and the impact that his grandparents had on his life growing up.

We also dive into his background in marketing and public relations, the impact that positive mentors can have on your career, and how Jeremy's career intersected with comedian Joan Rivers.

Lastly, we dive into Jeremy's work in the field of Alzheimer's disease, why we need to do a better job at developing more accessible features for the aging population, and the isolating effects that the pandemic had on those suffering from Alzheimer's.

Join Utah’s First Lady Abby Cox and her friends for timely and candid conversations with fascinating people with unique perspectives in an effort to unite us all through our common humanity. Each week, Abby dives into discussions on topics ranging from education to motherhood to mental health and beyond. 

Abby is an outspoken advocate for “getting proximate” with people who have different viewpoints, and using her platform as Utah’s First Lady to combat the empathy crisis our country is facing. 

Come along with us as we journey to bring courage, compassion and connection back into our homes and communities... and have a lot of fun along the way! THANK YOU for being our friend.
