Do you have what it takes to make an income in the content creator economy? Many young adults seem to think they can and they aspire to become influencers.

However, not every influencer gets a decent enough share of the $250 billion dollar industry to be considered “big time.” In fact, most don’t.

“It is not fun to live a fake life for the internet,” said media personality and influencer Emma Chamberlain in a podcast. “And I think the key to turning that off is to make it a rule in your mind that you will live for you first, (and then) live for the phone and live for the camera second. That makes life so much more enjoyable.” 

Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Celeste Maloy’s latest bill seeks to transfer federal land around state parks to Utah

Utah Republicans Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Celeste Maloy introduced a bill last week that would transfer the ownership of parcels of federal land to the state at no cost.

“Utahns don’t sit back and let Washington tell us how to manage the land we’ve lived on for over a century,” said Lee, according to a Wednesday press release.

The federal parcels in question include land around six areas inside Antelope Island State Park, which is northwest of Salt Lake City and is known for its scenery of the Great Salt Lake, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
