Our guest this week is Bear Degidio. This episode has been in the works for months, and we had a blast finally making it happen. We figured we might as well let the professional who wrote Bear's company website have center stage for this episode description: "His large influencer network and vast marketing experience led him to founding his own digital creative agency, Bear & Honey Group. With experience in direct to consumer marketing and branding, to successfully launching clothing bran...

We had our friend Adam on the show right before Covid-19 hit. We kept from publishing the episode due to our attempt at putting out episodes that pertained to what we were all going through with regards to the quarantine. Now that things have "normalized" a little bit we feel it's a better time to post this episode all about Adam and his new venture with Funding Shield (especially since the real estate market is on fire right now).Funding Shield is a FinTech B2B and B2B2C solution that d...

After 8 weeks delivering orders to their neighbors on the peninsula point, they have been booke...
Whether you're a fan, or a hater, if you're a local, you've probably seen this week's guest on Instagram @ocinstanews. Cedric and I had never met Chad Towersey aka Unkle Tito before recording this episode. We both had our preconceptions about this local personality who always seems to find himself right in the middle of all the action when it comes to breaking news in Newport and Costa Mesa. We were both very eager to find out who the real man behind the character of Unkle Tito really was.Sin...

Jeni is a straight up rockstar. We had her on the show before the Covid crisis, and we didn’t air the episode because we had an issue with the audio and it wasn’t very relevant within the context of the global pandemic we were experiencing. We had the pleasure of having the owner of one of our favorite local coffee shops in Costa Mesa on the show again! She’s so gracious. Coffee Dose is one of the local small businesses that has been able to stay open in Costa Mesa for to go, curbside pi...
If you’re local to Newport or Costa Mesa, you’re probably very familiar with the best breakfast spot around: Haute Cakes Cafe. Their orange ricotta pancakes are famous, and if you catch Blake there for breakfast he’ll be chowing down on the Sergios short rib burrito.
