A true hero of my wife Alisha and I's. Spencer Hall saved our lives after a tragic scooter accident that he saw as he was sitting at a red light waiting to turn. Spencer stayed cool and collected himself enough to immediately jump to Alisha Gregson's aid, which as a result most likely kept Alisha from bleeding to death and from being paralyzed because of 7 fractured bones in her neck and spine. As Spencer held Alisha still doing all he could to stop her bleeding from her head and foot, he felt impressed to give her a priesthood blessing. Because of Spencer's quick reaction to the accident and compassionate service to Alisha, we are alive to tell the story. In the years following we have become great friends with Spencer and his love for others and warmth are unparalleled by few others. He shares a very inspiring message about loving others unconditionally, giving grace to ourselves and others, and enjoying the beauty of this life.   Spencer Hall, was the creator of Salt City Hoops a blog that covers the Utah Jazz, a past writer for ESPN, and Director of KSL media.. All of this experience gave Spencer experience with people from different backgrounds. He talks about the importance of learning about all walks of life from religious, racial, cultural, etc. Spencer shares some fun memories of conversations with the late Coach Jerry Sloan, and as a blogger for the Utah Jazz. During our conversation Spencer talks about Empathy for others, the importance of empathizing with people different from ourselves and validating the experiences and feelings that they have. He talks about giving others Grace to Grow. We discuss the reality of what we choose to put out into the world and how it will come right back to us, so we can choose to seek for beautiful and good things, which makes life so much better and fulfilling for us. Spencer, offers wonderful insight to some of the Parenting Practices used by his Mother, who has recently passed away, and how as a mother she would embrace the nonsense, letting her kids play while ignoring the clutter, and things that she would do to make sure that her children felt love and felt celebrated. One of the most powerful lessons that Spencer has learned in his life is that one’s Value does not Change to God no matter what we do, and that Grace is not earned by our efforts, but is freely offered to us all, which in return gives us the ability to turnaround and offer that same gift of Grace to the people in our lives.   His late mother taught him that messes are fun, clean up can wait, and in the moment be present and connect with those around you. Such an amazing lesson!       Check out Salt City Hoops https://saltcityhoops.com/
