Sandy EmPower Breakfast

February 10 at 7:10 AM

25 years of bringing people together!

Why We Are Different

Focused on You: From Featured Speakers to table conversations, many people have a chance to speak at an emPower Breakfast. Experts, Sponsors, regular attendees ... and You! We try to give everyone a chance to share their stories...

An Intimate Event: We aren’t looking for hundreds to attend - our events feel like you could meet everyone if you tried.

Non-commercial: The emPower Breakfast does not promote any specific product, the presentations are not sales pitches. Our monthly event is non-membership and public; focused on fun and relationship building.

We finish on time: We pace our event quickly, so there’s never a dull moment!

Register now for the February emPower Breakfast! Featuring Chris Shurian - Mentor

Featured Speaker

Chris Shurian

Ironman Leadership: Turning Extreme Endurance Into Extreme Resilience in Business- How 140.6 miles taught Chris the mindset needed to survive any economic collapse

Chris is a seasoned entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience founding and scaling companies across construction, real estate development, and hospitality. He grew Classic Construction Services into a $15 million award-winning firm, developed the Water’s Edge Resort in Bear Lake, and founded Cody’s Gastro Garage Retaurant. Recognized as a finalist for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year and named Utah Business Magazine’s Forty Under 40, Chris has also served on numerous boards and executive committees. He is known for his high standards, customer-first vision, and ability to turn innovative ideas into thriving ventures.
Chris Shurian
We started Ascension CFO after seeing how many growing businesses struggle to make confident financial decisions without the right guidance. Companies earning under $50 million in revenue often need strong financial leadership but can’t justify the $250,000 or more a year for a full-time CFO. That’s where we come in. We work as your financial partner, helping you make data-driven decisions about hiring, pricing, fundraising, and growth. With the right strategy, growth becomes focused instead of frantic, cash flow becomes stable, and your numbers begin showing where you’re headed, not just where you’ve been.
I specialize in helping private practice professionals, independent business owners, and organizations of all sizes bring their meetings, trainings, and events to life with purpose, precision, and personality. My clients come from all walks of professional life—business and life coaches, sales trainers, entertainers, and corporate teams—each with unique visions and goals for how they want to engage, educate, and elevate their audiences. In addition to being an event strategist and consultant, I’m proud to now serve as the Area Director for emPower Breakfast in Sandy, Utah—a one-of-a-kind monthly networking experience created specifically for entrepreneurs and professionals. emPower Breakfast is built on a non-compete, non-membership model that prioritizes authentic connection, strategic partnerships, and fun—all over a great meal.

SPEAKER

Speak at the emPower breakfast

Promote Your Business to a Wider Audience

There are two options for speaking at an emPower Breakfast event:

Featured Speakers

Being a featured speaker provided the business or individual to shine for 15 minutes. You want to follow similar guidelines as a 3-minute speaker. You need to make sure you provide good information that is relevant to most attendees on a topic that you are a thought leader on. Here you can bring a presentation and use the A/V system.

NOTE: Filling out the form places you into the queue to be a speaker. You will be notified of the month and day when you will be assigned. Use the Message field to make any special requests: Month, AV, etc.

Share Your Business With a 3-Minute Presentation At No Cost

Each month, there are opportunities to tell the group a little more about yourself by doing a 3-minute presentation on you and your business.

This is more than just an elevator speech – it’s an opportunity to share more information about who you are, what you do, and how you can help any of the people attending the emPower Breakfast.
