Taylor Morton works as the Internet Sales Manager for Young Hyundai in Ogden, Utah. As the Internet Sales Manager, Taylor manages Young Hyundai’s website, social media, and a team of four call specialists. Everyday, she is able to use her strengths to achieve both her personal goals and the goals of the company.

“I’ve been working at Young Hyundai for four and a half years, starting as a call specialist before I was promoted to the Internet Sales Manager after one year,” says Taylor. Taylor also serves on the Young Caring for Our Young Foundation board, a non-profit organization with a mission to serve our young and those in need by bringing together the community to take action and build a brighter future.

One of Taylor’s most memorable moments while serving on the Young Caring for Our Young Foundation board happened last year; Young Hyundai collected food and donations as part of the Heroes Bag Hunger project to provide over 200 Thanksgiving meals for families in the Ogden-Weber area to help them have Thanksgiving dinner. “We love being involved in this community,” says Taylor. “It was such an amazing and humbling project and our team cannot wait for next year.”

Taylor and her husband have lived in Ogden for seven years and they’ve loved living here. Together, the pair has two dogs, enjoys hiking and riding their four-wheelers.

Taylor is excited for the future of Young Hyundai and the Young Caring for Our Young Foundation as she watches the company grow, “We are growing,” says Taylor. “We purchased the AAMCO building to the south of us to expand our used car inventory.”

“Platinum Payments focuses on creating happy customers; we assure you that payment processing is stress-free and straightforward with us. We only lock you in with – love.”

Samuel Smith, founder of Platinum Payments, had been working in the industry for twelve years prior to starting his own company. He saw the pain points business owners were experiencing. They were locked into long-term contracts, overpaying for equipment/software and having their rates increase up to three-four times a year. He felt strongly it was time for change in the industry.

In April of 2011, he started Platinum Payments with the belief that the most significant change in the world starts with our communities.

One unique thing about Platinum Payments is that they have always offered a rate guarantee – you never have to worry about rate increases with them. You’ll be paired with a local representative that assists you with all processing solutions and is always available for any questions you may have. Many customers are satisfied with their experience, “We love Platinum Payments. They are a dream to work with, and they’re there anytime we need them. We couldn’t be happier!” says Cedar Village Florist in South Ogden.

When asked what the biggest win was for his company, Samuel said, “It has been so satisfying to meet with business owners where we create seamless solutions and help them save a significant amount of revenue they can put right back into their business or their savings.”

Samuel is excited about the future of Platinum Payments. He said it is exciting to the company’s growth, not only here in Utah but nationwide. It brings personal satisfaction to help more businesses have a better experience and better solutions, which feels good.

For almost 18 years Maria Hurd worked as a Registered Nurse in the state of Colorado. Being a nurse fulfilled a dream for her. She loved helping and serving people. When she and her husband retired in 2013 they moved to Utah to be closer to family. She was excited to enjoy the retired life with her husband and do just about anything they pleased.

In February of 2015 Maria set out on her new adventure as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. In the beginning it sounded fun. She was excited to learn new things and make new friends. It took her a little bit of time to figure out what she wanted to do with Mary Kay. She didn’t want another career, she had just finished 18 years of that in Colorado. This was the time she was supposed to relax and enjoy life. Maria decided to use her Mary Kay business as a vehicle to serve, assist others and bless other peoples lives, just as she was doing as a registered nurse.

She now teaches skin care and makeup with Mary Kay. Maria goes to clients homes or to a venue of their choice and shows new Mary Kay products. She also offers opportunities to try different products with friends. She loves to help people look and feel their best.

Maria believes great service is the best policy. She is the “Unique” item to her business. She love people. She learned from her business to cultivate friends. Everyone she meets is important to her. Maria’s clients know they are valued by the time and effort she puts forth in making sure they are completely happy with what they have experienced with the Mary Kay product. Customers have said Maria is just kind to be around and they always feel joy when they leave.

When asked what the biggest reward or win for her organization is Maria said:

October is breast cancer awareness month. Every October I ask everyone I come in contact with to donate $30 to my cause. I put together what I call Chemo Care Kits to give to women undergoing chemo. In these kits are hydrating Mary Kay Products. I don’t make any profit off of these kits. I put them together and make them pretty with some pink color and a beautiful bow. In October 2021 I put together 45 Chemo Care Kits of which 5 of them were given out privately and the other 40 went to McKay Dee Hospital’s Chemo Unit. This yearly project gives me great joy and pleasure. It is a tribute to my own mother who passed away years ago from breast cancer.

Maria is excited about the innovation of Mary Kay’s new and trendy product. She feels she offers the best from a company that is trusted and gives!
