Ali Vallarta, 34
Podcast Host | City Cast Salt Lake
What is one thing you are most proud of accomplishing in your career thus far?
We’ve created a daily podcast (City Cast Salt Lake) and newsletter (Hey Salt Lake) that are essential reading and listening for Salt Lakers of all ages and interests. When people want to get the word out about something, they come to us. What could be more rewarding when you work in media? Our team is small and smart. We laugh a lot, and we keep each other in check.
What does success look like to you?
For me, success is building a community of people and relationships you trust and are proud of. My litmus test is feeling excited to run into people I know at the grocery store. Is that crazy? There are days when I look at my friends and think, “These people are so kind and smart. They’ll take care of me when I’m old!”
