New York says: Be powerful.
Los Angeles says: Be famous.
Washington, D.C. says: Be important.
San Francisco says: Change the world.
Boston says: Be smart.
So what does San Diego say?
“Invent the future of defense”?
“Heal with science”?
“Who can I introduce you to”?
It’s still forming. And maybe that’s the point.
From the inside, it feels less like a slogan and more like a way of moving through the city:
Help each other rise.
Take the meeting outside.
Trade boardrooms for coffee shops. Or surfboards.
San Diego isn’t loud about what it’s building. But it’s serious. And it’s deeply collaborative.
A city is shaped by its people. And week by week, connection by connection, we’re shaping this one together.
Howl yeah, it’s Monday.

Yes, he’s my brother. And honestly, that’s why I’m comfortable recommending him.
I had a front-row seat when his company, Digitizing, built and launched BlezOnline. I watched the decisions they made early, the tradeoffs they didn’t rush, and how that paid off later.
His team is great for thoughtful founders who want a steady, practical partner early on.
If you’re building and want someone in your corner who’s done this before, I’m happy to make the intro.
