Welcome to the Wild and Free Edition of the Social Coyote!
Letโs let out a mighty howl for Misti Cain! Thank you for supporting the pack this week. Weโre really looking forward to hearing you speak at TEDxSanDiego!!

Preparing for a challenge!
I challenge you to attend four events in February. That wonโt be easy. Itโll take dedication, grit, gumption, and maybe even a sweatband. But this is what weโve been training for.
To make February a little more fun, Iโm turning it into a quest. An excuse to step out of our caves and into the action.
Want in? Need an invite to our challenge channel in Slack? Just hit reply! Iโd love to have you join. And if you havenโt leveled up to Super Coyote yet, Iโll gift you 30 days for free to help you plan ahead and decide what to attend.
Itโs a taste of what Iโm adding to the newsletter each week, along with the Wild & Free Coyote section.
Someone asked if there are rules. Yeah, a few. But the main point is to be more connected than we were last month. A noble goal.
Is there a prize? Does pride count? Maybe. But youโll have to join in to find out.
Enough howling for now. Letโs dive into the week.

Iโm fired up about two things: founders succeeding and leaders in our community sharing their hard-earned wisdom.
Misti is stepping onto the TEDxSanDiego stage to do just that, dropping knowledge on what it takes for startups to succeed in her talk, โThe Two Reasons Why Startups Failโ.
Now, there are plenty of things that can impact a startup's success but Misti argues there are only two things that cause a startup to fail. And those two things areโฆ
