“The 2009 iQ Awards finalists have fully demonstrated how progressive thinking, hard work and innovation have helped solidify Utah as one of the nation’s most innovative states,” Lewis [Editor-in-Chief of Utah Business] said. “We know that the journey has not been easy. There have been countless trial and error runs, bloodshot eyes, sleepless nights, all in the name of innovation, but, Woody Allen said it best, ‘If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.’” (Preusz, Jared. “Utah Business Honors Award Recipients, Innovation at 2009 iQ Awards.” Utah Business Jan. 29, 2009.)
