ELS: Justin Haskell

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Justin Haskell began his career in the life insurance field, where he realized that Medicare plan solutions and final expense benefits were a growing need for people across the country. He decided to start Maximum Senior Benefits (MSB), a national company focused on offering these benefits while also providing peace of mind in the process. For over a decade, MSB has hired competitive, passionate sales professionals who seek to offer comfortable, tailored solutions to individuals and their families. Justin’s story starts well before that in the small town of Elk Ridge, Utah, where he spent his entire childhood, attending Payson High School and graduating in 1998. After high school, Justin served a Latter-day Saint mission in the Dominican Republic. He then attended Utah State University, majoring in International Studies with minors in International Business, Portuguese, and French. After graduating, Justin joined Best Buddies International, a nonprofit designed to help people with disabilities. While working for Best Buddies International, Justin moved across the country—from California to Florida—before finally settling in Utah to run Best Buddies’ Utah operation. During that time, he discovered a love for business and entrepreneurship, which led him to return to school and earn his MBA. Soon thereafter, he founded Maximum Senior Benefits. Justin currently resides in Elk Ridge, Utah, with his wife, Leslie, and their five children.

Community Education: Resilience Documentary Screening

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Join us at the Utah Theatre for a community screening of the documentary: RESILIENCE: THE BIOLOGY OF STRESS & THE SCIENCE OF HOPE. Chronicling a movement among pediatricians, therapists, educators and communities, who are using cut- ting-edge brain science to disrupt cycles of violence, addiction and disease. “The child may not remember, but the body remembers.”

The original research was controversial, but the findings revealed the most important public health findings of a generation. RESILIENCE is a one-hour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent Toxic Stress. Now understood to be one of the leading causes of every- thing from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior. However, as experts and practitioners profiled in RESILIENCE are proving, what’s predictable is preventable. Q&A Panel of local professionals to follow.

This event is part of a series with the Parent Connective, a collaboration between USU Social Work and the Department of Health to provide local parents with free evidence-based parenting support and increase a sense of community. Find other events in this series by searching "Parent Connective: Free Webinar Series" on the USU website. *Professionals may earn 1 CEU for attending.

What Disney Didn't Tell You - A Tour of the Original Grimm Fairy Tales: An Aggie Talks Event

Panel Discussion/Presentation

Think you know Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty? Think again. For most Americans, these stories feel like Disney inventions, but their true origins are far older, stranger, and more fascinating. During this presentation, USU Researcher Claudia Schwabe will take the audience on a journey back 200 years to discover the "original" fairy tales collected by two German brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. You'll learn that these tales were filled with sharp moral lessons, psychological terror, and bizarre magic. The Grimms’ world is a place where justice is brutal, the woods are truly terrifying, and “happily ever after” often comes with a dark price.
