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

Preparing for a challenge!
I challenge you to attend four events in February. That won’t be easy. It’ll take dedication, grit, gumption, and maybe even a sweatband. But this is what we’ve been training for.
To make February a little more fun, I’m 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! I’d love to have you join. And if you haven’t leveled up to Super Coyote yet, I’ll gift you 30 days for free to help you plan ahead and decide what to attend.
It’s a taste of what I’m 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 you’ll have to join in to find out.
Enough howling for now. Let’s dive into the week.

Pack Highlight:
tl;dr head to TEDxSanDiego.com and use code VIPMisti to get discounted tickets for the TEDxSanDiego Shine event happening Feb 19th, 2025 in La Jolla.
I’m 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, “The Two Reasons Why Startups Fail”.
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 are…
Well, you’ll have to attend the talk to hear her take. Misti’s hooking us up with her discount code to snag a seat to hear her talk and catch a few other incredible San Diegans who’re also speaking and performing at this month’s TEDxSanDiego Shine event.
Use this link, click on “Buy Tickets”, and enter code VIPMisti at checkout for a discount.
