our divorce

Episode 241 Jill and Post Malone at the 7-11.

Standard

A few months ago we had the pleasure of having founder, Tom Milligan, of an up an coming company Our Divorce join our show. Episode 241 we are joined by the other half, Jill Blankenship!

You might be wondering how this partnership ended up working. Jill has known Tom for about 12/13 years, she said it gets fuzzy. After years of working in the same spaces, Tom brought his idea of Our Divorce to Jill and because Jill is a queen of start ups it was a perfect marriage! *see what we did there*

After Jill’s own divorce she moved to Orca Island. She jokes that she didn’t want kids to run away, that is why she moved to an island. She said at the time, she was outnumbered and needed some control in her life after her divorce. After many years on the island, she is finding her way back to Utah soon!

Jill found her motivation to start businesses because of living on Orca Island. With a population that is mostly there during the summer and with businesses shutting down in the winter, she had to find a way to create a remote work force. In 2005 she started her first business, Front Line Call Center, and 15 years later her call center is still alive and running. Over the years she has grown the business and continued to add to the call center industry developing software and more.

Starting Our Divorce with Tom was something that she, and he, hadn’t delved into yet except the experience of being divorced. It was a new market for her and joining Tom, she is playing the role of investor and developer. Jill works with the development team and the technical side, mostly. Jill said Our Divorce was going to be a simple start up and then things went big, and so fast! Even after a short time on social media they’ve already found themselves going viral on platforms such as TikTok.

If you were wondering how high the numbers of divorce’s has been during COVID, well it has gone up 40%. And no, Our Divorce is not trying to put attorneys out of business. They are simply a resource center, think Turbo Tax of Divorce. Our Divorce has been working the last few months working on putting amicable couples on their platform to do their divorce together. When Jill and Tom started the company they wanted to have a company where people could have a successful outcome. They started it with the question in mind, what experience would they want as Tom and Jill if they were going through a divorce. The wanted to create an environment for couples divorcing from a money based situation to an actual experience. A good experience.

Jill’s most interesting/unique thing that she has discovered about Utah is more specific to where she will be living. Jill said the one thing that is unique is that you have the mountains in your face. They’re right there. Wildlife you’re cohabitating with. Jill said she hears the coyotes, she sees the wild turkeys (that love her mulch), and what she loves about Utah is that you never know what you’re going to wake up to. She loves Utah, Post Malone will be her neighbor and is excited to be back.

Episode 234 Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has arrived.

Standard

A reminder, our friends at OurDivorce.com are NOT lawyers. They are simply a resource to get your paperwork filled out to get things done. They are the equivalent of Turbo Tax to your impending divorce!! They also help navigate all of the stuff after.

This episode is heavy with the swears to start off. Just forewarning.

Jessica gives us her first recap of the brand new extension of Bravo’s Housewives series, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The players are as follows; Jen, is owner of three marketing companies. Heather, part owner of Beauty Lab + Laser in Salt Lake City, Meredith is a jewelry designer and boutique owner based in Park City. Lisa owns a marketing company and a tequila brand (Vida). Whitney owns a local skin care line called Iris and Beau. Mary is the head of her church in downtown Salt Lake City. Instead of giving a gossipy recap each week, our focus and recaps are going to be on the local businesses that are featured on the show including the businesses owned by the women of RHOSLC.

We also talk about the top places in Salt Lake (via Yelp) to get pies. We also would add to the list Petra Backstuchen cause she makes amazing cheesecakes and old world German treats!!

Episode 222 I Only Like to see you in the Dark

Standard

Episode 222 was a blast with entrepreneur Tom Milligan. Tom was a long time call center guy that happened to have an epiphany one night to make divorce easier *experience speaks volumes* and find a cheaper way for level headed folks that just need an out. That is where Our Divorce comes in! We talk the business launch, but also about his life and how he got to creating this very clever and efficient business.

How does it work? Our Divorce is a self-service divorce resource. From their website, OurDivorce™ makes getting a divorce easier than ever and leaves you in control.  Don’t pay an attorney.  Don’t let a Judge make decisions about your life. Tom and his team have worked extensively to follow and abide by each state law, because believe it or not, they are all different! He really wanted to streamline and create a divorce process that wouldn’t rake everyone through the coals and be as amicable as possible. They launched on August 31st and already have a wait list!!

If you see their billboards around town, let us know!!!

Follow Our Divorce on their YouTube Channel, their Facebook, and of course you can find more information if you … or if you’re asking for a friend… need someone at OurDivorce.com.

This week is also our monthly famous Utahn! We thought we had it in the bag with this one. That there would be tons of information, and there was, but in a round about kind of way. We feature the Winder Family this month.
