Welcome, Social Coyote!

I was having lunch with someone whoโs helped more than a few startups find their footing.
We were deep down a rabbit hole about what it takes to build something from scratch. The Social Coyote is kind of a startup, right? And knowing your โcustomerโ is pretty critical. No ifs, ands, or howl yeahs about it.
So let me start this week with the most basic question of all time:
Why did you join The Social Coyote in the first place?
Iโm running Customer Discovery 101 and reaching out to the pack: by text, email, postcard, at events, and maybe even tracking down a few coyotes prowling the canyons.
This is all part of a bigger quest. Help us build even better connections. And in true build-in-public fashion, Iโd love to keep you in the loop as we go.
The plan is to start reaching out individually, but if you want to smash the reply button and get things started together, Iโm all about it.
Thank you for howling with me every Monday. Iโm grateful youโre here, and I canโt wait to see you in the wild.
Howl yeah Rose
Thanks for Supporting the Social Coyote!

I first met Rose Bowlus while mentoring at the REC Innovation Center. She was offering guidance to early-stage founders: a cohort with big ideas and long to-do lists (legal usually somewhere around item #47).
Honestly? Iโve been there. More than once.
There was the NFT hoodie project. The Instagram photo printing thing. A giveaway site I still think about. We actually gave away a few PlayStations. I still wonder what Rose wouldโve said about that one.
Since then, Rose has built and grown her own firm RBL here in San Diego. Her mission has stayed the same: helping founders get the foundation right from the start and supporting them as they grow.
If you'd like to connect with her, sheโs hosting an event this week:
Event: Business Formation 101: Legal Essentials for New Entrepreneurs
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Rancho Bernardo
If you miss this one, just howl. Iโm happy to make an intro so you can connect.
Sheโs helped many of San Diegoโs best, but youโd never know it. I asked, and she wouldnโt tell me. Confidential is kind of her thing.
Howl yeah, Rose. Iโm proud to team up and support San Diegoโs builders together.
