Welcome into the den. I'm Jonah, your host, and this is a podcast about the people building, organizing, and bringing us all together in San Diego.
0:10
One thing I found that I've loved about our city is that we're incredibly humble. We're surrounded by sunshine. We're building incredible things, but we don't always talk about it.
0:19
When I spent time with people over coffees, when we went a little bit deeper, the unbelievably cool stories that start to surface. I was walking away from coffees thinking, "Dang, that was an awesome story.
0:30
I kinda wish I could share that with other folks."
0:32
And so that's where this all started to come from, was basically a realization that there's a lot going on that we don't know about, and there's a lot of really cool people here building.
0:43
And when I say building, I mean organizing, building things, building side projects, working at cool companies, but tinkering with, with something on the side. And all of this we find fascinating.
0:53
And so what I'm trying to do is help create a bit more of a discovery engine where we can elevate people who are doing things that not only help our city, but really show off the talent that is here, and that's something that I really get a lot of pleasure and joy out of.
1:09
And I want us to stay humble. I want us to continue to win, and I want to do what I can to help elevate people building special things. So we're taking our mics, we're going into people's dens.
1:20
That could be a coffee shop, that could be their office, that could be a literal canyon. Hearing the things that they're building and why they're building them specifically here in San Diego.
1:31
We do have one of the best start- startup communities, one of the best tech scenes in the entire country. Can't really compete with us on weather, but I dare you to try.
1:40
And, uh, I just wanna make sure that I can do my part to help elevate some of the special things that are happening here.
1:48
So I wanna invite you into the den, pull up a chair, join us for a conversation that feels like it's just happening between friends in the living room, and let's go a little bit deeper into what San Diego is up to and what it has to offer.
2:02
So welcome into the den. I'm Jonah, and I can't wait to have you join us. Calling up, it's D-Pac, moves low-key. Found in the wild, yeah, they tracked me through the feed. Howl in the night, not a whole chorus sing.
2:13
Two new necks deep before we order a drink. Wild been so low, now you walk out with friends. Social coyote, step into the den.
