Good morning

We got this!
Let me get this straight...A local

that supports mom and pop
#SanDiego
coffee roasters (as well as other regional small local roasters as they expand their footprint), all while helping keep other companies' employees happy & buzzing along?
#SDSmallBusiness
Victory!
I’m not sure if that will be Palo Alto, Austin or Miami yet, but we estimate we can save hundreds of thousands a year by moving. Plus, a much better quality of life!
My buddy saw this today at
@SamsClub
in
#SanDiego
. Not sure if this is a social distancing strategy, an attempt to use makeshift personal protective equipment, or just someone having fun. Either way,
#FlattenTheCurve
!
The festivities will be even greater next year!
@StartupSanDiego
is receiving increased support from the

I was also thinking about
@paigefinnn
. She is great at distilling complex models into pieces that even a child could understand. Heck, she even wrote a children's book called "Seed to Harvest" breaking down venture capital.

on shaking up the
#SDStartUp
and angel investing scene again by helping founders achieve their dreams. Cheers to that!
(p.s. where do I sign up...?)
Two of the most well-known men in San Diego’s startup scene are founding their own investment firm, hoping to expand a world typically reserved for wealthy executives to include tech workers below the C-suite
Hey
@AOC
: pastrami tacos don’t come from NYC. They’re from Boyle Heights in LA, where Jews and Chicanos were doing them (mostly as burritos) going back to at least the 1950s
Great article in today's Daily Journal about
@ColinParent
and his efforts to transform
#SanDiego
through positive policies which recognize community transportation and mobility needs.
@CirculateSD
and Colin are doing great things. Kudos!
Just ordered my favorite holiday tamales from El Comal in North Park (). These are legit with a perfect ratio of filling to corn masa. Want to remind everyone to

Hey
@EaterSanDiego
, where do others get their tamales?
... came across this and took a deep breath. It made me smile and reminded me why I love

Hello
@AirFranceUS
, I just noticed a couple of direct non-stop flights between Paris and San Diego
@SanDiegoAirport
in December, but can't really find more info surfing the net. Is Air France testing the market or just repositioning planes? Would love to know more!
@RafaSanDiego
Congratulations on Chief Bejarano's endorsement. A true testament to Rafael's commitment to the greater community and creating opportunities for the entire region. We're really proud of you!
Proud that progressive Latina leaders - Councilwomen
@MariaNunez1sm
& Jennifer Mendoza - are standing with me in my campaign for County Supervisor. It’s going to take all of us to make County Government work for all of us.

@paigefinnn
! Totally forgot I orginally followed you because:
(a) I enjoyed your shared wisdom and anecdotes, and
(b) I was interested in buying your book for my niece. And now I can/did. Congratulations 🥳
i wrote a book. we wrote a book.
an illustrated book for kids and adults on venture capital, Seed to Harvest started as a seed. And with the help of this wonderful community and my illustrator brother Owen - it's now ready for harvest...[a thread]

Welcome!! You're going to love San Diego. While moving during a pandemic can make some things harder, please don't hesitate to ask for recommendations. Exciting times ahead...
Don't you just love watching

Never heard of this book until your tweet. And just saw you can download it for free. Guess I'll be joining you in the Navalmanack adventures... Cheers

Thank you

Was bummed I missed the live top five stories, then saw the new Twitter button allowing me to play it immediately at the bottom of
@jonahpeake

@SDPartnership
This was fantastic!! Thank you

and
@elyse_sd
, et. al., so much for hosting this super informative meeting. We look forward to learning more in the coming weeks. Have a great weekend everyone and be safe. Cheers!

@ATLHawks
So very sorry for your loss. I woke up today missing my hero who passed 2.5 years ago. I too was by his side when he passed. Sad, yes. But our fond memories of him, his struggles and accomplishments, and the laughter he brought us lives on. Celebrate your dad everyday! God bless
Those same people need to follow & be inspired by
@paigefinnn
who just wrote about her dad starting a new job, her brother paying for college w/money from a book he & Paige wrote/illustrated called "Seed to Harvest". So long as the complainers exist, the opportunities abound!!
Most people complain about their situation and talk about change.
You see them 6 months later it’s the same story.
5 years later it’s the same story with different characters.
Always someone else’s fault, circumstances outside of their control and a new plan to change.
@chriscantino

@NealBloom
Found quick video which resonates with with the comments I heard in real time:
Still very cool to see in person and "kick the tires"
@gregisenberg
And with that, I'm moving forward with an idea for a product that fits this model perfectly. Thank you
@gregisenberg
for the inspiration. I'll circle back when I'm ready to launch... Cheers!
@SMB_Attorney
My advice? Do something that you love. If you’re going to commit time to a career or for your own business, make sure that it’s something that you really want to do. Money comes and goes, but feeling miserable sucks and can take its toll
@RafaSanDiego
This is great news and an awesome way to kick off the new year. We know how much you care about San Diego, South Bay and making sure the entire region benefits with every opportunity. Let's do this - Vote for Rafael!
Honored to have San Diego District Attorney
@SummerStephan
update the members of
@MABPA_SD
with some of the new projects and strategies the DA's office is implementing to ensure parties are treated fairly and with dignity throughout the process of protecting the community
This is a really good read. It's something everyone can relate to, but no one ever wants to admit publicly. Thank you
@Lenny_Mendonca
for sharing and inspiring us all. We all need to hit to reset button every once in awhile for both our mental and physical health.
Visited
@SDSU
campus before the basketball game yesterday & stopped into one of their university run stores. Amazed at the fresh lineup/variety of cpg items they offered in such a small store. The power & influence of insta, tiktok & x is amazing.
@GoAztecs
for the win!!
Hey
@iiiitsandrea
,
@NealBloom
and/or
@ChrisCantino
, have you seen these cooler doors before? Saw them on Friday for the first time and my jaw dropped at the marketing opportunities. Sensory overload actually...
@MatznerJon
@ShermanDanger
I've seen this play out many times, and you're right. This result can also lead to a hole in the market and a new opportunity for someone paying attention to start a new business or expand an existing one. Or as
@mrfboyer
said, the original seller buys/takes it back...
I’m honored by the endorsement of the
@SanDiegoDDAs
and San Diegans Against Crime. I will always do what it takes to ensure that our communities and those who protect them work together for safety, dignity and justice for all.
@MayorToddGloria
@chrisjcate
Thank you
@MayorToddGloria

@NaderLikeLadder
@BrickyardVC
Love it! Beautiful way to show you appreciate and respect those who believe in you enough to support you with their time, counsel, and $$$. Congratulations again!
Life lesson here for other entrepreneurs... keep it classy.
@abbyhamblin
TIL what the zipper merge is thanks to
@abbyhamblin

@YouTube
saved the day... again. Now I'll be thinking it every time I'm leaving downtown on the 163. Grrr!
@DropKickBrew
At the airport lounge brewing black tea to make my own iced tea and BAM!! I noticed your cold brewed coffee and ice tea station next to me. Your product rocks. Thank you!
