Guest Speaker(s): Mason Sawyer, Public Speaker & Podcast Host
Mason Sawyer, originally from West Jordan, Utah, is a devoted father and advocate for resilience. Mason married his high school sweetheart, Kortni Atkinson, and together raised three children. In 2021, Mason tragically lost Kortni, his two children, Riggins and Franki, and his brother and nephew, Race and Rider, in a car accident. Now focused on raising his surviving son, Blue, Mason draws strength from the 10/90 principle – that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond.
