🐺 Oct 21 - 12 Events and 5 coyote connector ideas
All the San Diego happenings you should know about
Howl Yeah it’s Monday!
Meet Coyo, pro pack networker
I was asked an interesting question the other day:
“How can I find other coyotes when I head out networking?!”
Assuming you are not referring to those wily coyotes who are quite active in the canyons, this is a wonderful question that I haven’t quite solved yet. It’s a great one for several reasons.
I feel significantly more comfortable walking into an event when I see a familiar face because I know I’m in a community of Social Coyotes. I’ve developed a few techniques that, through trial and error (lots of error), have worked for me. But there are probably more.
What if we:
Add an emoji to our names on an event signup page? Maybe this one: 🐾 we can find these folks first to say “Hi, Hey, Howl yeah!”
Have a way to coordinate beforehand; would a virtual community be helpful?
Shout “Howl yeah” upon entering a room and see who responds. (This one is not for everyone!)
Wear coyote ears? It could work in October anyway.
Add a paw to our nametag? (I like this one.)
What do you think are the best ways to meet other Social Coyotes in the wild?
This is a “hit reply” newsletter; the point is connecting with each other and I’m looking forward to your ideas. Howl yeah!

Here’s a howler of an opportunity, from our friends at Conversion Factory!
Zach and his pack have a new referral program and the winner gets a wild $6,000 vacation right in our backyard.
Yes, you heard it right— live it up in sunny San Diego on Conversion Factory.
Now, you might be thinking, "Hey, that’s where I howl at the moon!" True, but imagine the possibilities if you didn’t have to worry about the airfare.
And if you’re the lucky coyote to win, think about all the ways you could max out a $6K staycation:
Spend 13.51 days exploring every nook and cranny of the zoo, I’d get the seasons pass but you don’t have to with this kind of coin.
Dive into 63 tasting menus at Deckman’s new eatery—talk about a feast for the ages!
Or how about 1500 fish tacos? That’s a lot of salsa!
Ready to join the ruckus? Check out: Conversion Factory's latest referral program for your shot at the prize. The more, the merrier—so spread the word and keep those paws crossed!
Howl out to Zach and the team for making it happen.

The 2nd question I always get asked at events: “What are you doing outside of the Social Coyote?”
Here’s one thing:
I’m building a wreath company in public.
I just shared the 3nd post: A Fresh Green Brand.
But start with Crash and Burn to set the scene.
How was this week's Coyote? |
I read every howl and every growl!
