🪧 You’ve seen her face—on highways, side streets, and city centers across Utah. But who is Julia Reagan? And why were 300+ billboards dedicated to her?

In this episode of UtahPreneur, we sit down with Bill Reagan, the man behind Reagan Outdoor Advertising, to uncover the emotional story behind the Julia Reagan billboards that captured the state’s attention. We talk about how a grieving husband used his billion-dollar billboard company to honor his late wife, and how love, legacy, and entrepreneurship intersect in one of Utah’s most powerful business stories.

We also explore the rise of Reagan Outdoor Advertising from humble beginnings to becoming one of the largest family-run billboard empires in the western United States. Bill shares insights on scaling a business, building lasting customer relationships, and why storytelling still matters in advertising.

Whether you’ve driven past one of those iconic billboards or are just curious about the man and the mission behind them, this episode is unforgettable.
