This past weekend, more than a dozen Fishbowl employees participated in a huge relay bike race that went all the way from Salt Lake City in northern Utah down to St. George at the southwest corner of Utah. The race is appropriately called the Salt to Saint Relay.
Utah isn’t exactly known for its flat terrain, and this 425-mile race has a 20,000-foot increase in elevation. It takes a special kind of person to want to take on a challenge like that. (more…)
September 18, 2014 is the first day of the three-day THRIVE Symposium, which is an event that gathers business leaders from across the state of Utah.

During this event, six people/businesses will be honored with awards for their contributions in a number of areas, including business development, leadership, charity, inspiration, and more. (more…)
Fishbowl’s employees are out of the office today serving, just like we do every year. Today is the Fishbowl Day of Service, which is a special time for all of us to leave our usual jobs to go out and help people in our community. (more…)
Women business leaders are invited to attend a women’s conference that will be held on September 18-20, 2014 at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah. (more…)
Having inventory doesn’t automatically make someone an expert on inventory management, no more than having a baby instantly makes someone an expert on raising children. You need to figure out what works for you and your business. (more…)
Every year Fishbowl employees take one day to focus solely on others’ needs in our community. We step away from our desks, close our office, go outside, and start serving people. We call this our Fishbowl Day of Service. It’s one of our favorite traditions.
We’re excited to announce our 6th annual Day of Service! This time around we will go to Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson, Utah on September 5, 2014.
This project will be unique from all the others we’ve done in the past. We usually go and paint walls, clean up areas, landscape, and do other things with our hands. But this time we’ll go to the Central Utah Veterans Home and serve the men and women who have fought for our country and the freedoms we enjoy. Activities will include interviewing veterans, recording their stories, playing games with them, and doing some minor projects at the facility.
Here are all of the other Days of Service we’ve done over the past five years: (more…)
Fishbowl leaders recently had a chance to meet Brent Andersen, founder and CEO of the first aquarium in the landlocked state of Utah, the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium. (more…)
I recently had the opportunity to tour the new Living Planet Aquarium, which is currently under construction in Draper, Utah. The old structure that housed the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy, Utah closed down on September 10, 2013 in preparation for the big move to the new facility. (more…)
Has it already been a year since the last Fishbowl Day of Service? That’s incredible to me.
It seems like just yesterday that Fishbowl closed its doors and my fellow employees and I (along with many of our spouses and children) went to an elementary school in Payson, Utah to help teachers in their classrooms, repair and replace outdoor equipment, and completely reorganize their library system. It was fantastic. (more…)
I recently had the privilege of touring The Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy, Utah along with several other Fishbowl employees. It’s an amazing experience being immersed in the sights, sounds, smells, and even feels of the underwater world. They have a huge octopus, several penguins, and sea otters, as well as many varieties of fish, reptiles, and amphibians swimming around in their tanks.
Plus, we got to go behind the scenes and see how everything operates and stays so clean and well-organized day in and day out. (more…)
