Neal sits down with Eric Weiss, a fellow longtime builder in San Diego's startup ecosystem. Eric is a self-described “parallel entrepreneur,” founder coach, President of the Design Forward Alliance - which produces San Diego Design Week—and Vice Chair of Startup San Diego.Neal and Eric first crossed paths during the early days of San Diego's startup community, around EvoNexus and the 101 Broadway vertical campus that helped give rise to Startup Week and Startup San Diego. They revisit that era and trace Eric's unconventional path from teenage black-hat hacker to earning an MBA in entrepreneurship at SDSU, followed by roles at Raytheon, Sony and Qualcomm. He eventually made the leap into the startup world with EvoNexus company Rock My Run.At the heart of the conversation is the connective tissue that makes an entrepreneurial community work. Neal and Eric discuss what San Diego lost after COVID, why “third spaces” and professional community management matter more than a coworking lease, and Eric's tendency to step into leadership vacuums - including helping San Diego become the first U.S. city, and first binational region, named World Design Capital.Eric also makes the case that San Diego's smaller, more tightly connected network—and its constraints - can be an advantage. The conversation closes with a preview of San Diego Design Week, running September 15–20, and a sleeper taco recommendation near the marina.Key topics* The “founding cradle”: EvoNexus, The Vine, and 101 Broadway* Reformed hacker to Raytheon, Sony (PS3), and Qualcomm data science* Why he's a “parallel entrepreneur” who falls into leadership vacuums* San Diego becoming the first American World Design Capital* Opening Design Week beyond digital - fashion, architecture, interiors* Connective tissue: third spaces and professional community management* San Diego vs. the Bay: tighter networks, constraints that filter imposters* Where San Diego wins: deep tech, hardware, and life science* The investor-vs-community-builder tension of being “the picker”Links & resources* San Diego Design Week (Sept 15-20, 2026)* Design Forward Alliance* Startup San DiegoConnect on LinkedIn* Neal Bloom* Eric Weiss This is a public episode.

Six in the morning, and the sand is cold. That is the part nobody posts.The highlight reels from Sean Lewis's program show Snapdragon Stadium under the lights and the Warrior Shield held high. What they don't show is a defensive back on his back in wet sand before sunrise, being reminded that paradise has a price when you play at San Diego State.That's the core of SDSU, and it's led by Sean Lewis.He joined today's episode of THE DAWN, a limited series highlighting the re-imagined Pac-12, a collaboration between Y-Option and the league.I've known Coach Lewis since his days at Kent State when he was a 31 year old head coach, and it was clear then, just like it is now, that his philosophy is clear and his leadership style is one that will continue to thrive.Two and a half years ago the giant was asleep. Now it's a 9 win team, a 1st round NFL pick out the door, and a program that was in the CFP discussion last November. Coach Lewis co-signs the idea without blinking that the champion of this new Pac-12 should be playing in the postseason in December.What's underneath it all is the story behind Coach Lewis's path to wearing a whistle. He grew up on the south side of Chicago, went to Wisconsin to play quarterback and ended up at tight end. He was the head coach at Kent State by 2018, took a stop in Boulder to work with Deion Sanders, and two years ago this Midwest QB found himself leading the Aztecs out West. He didn't draw this up. Nobody could have.Life's too short to huddle, he likes to say. One might argue life's too short to plan out one's path too. We just have to be present, enjoy the ride, and compete to impact people along the way.Safe to say Sean Lewis is doing that, and much more, as San Diego State enters the new look Pac-12.Much love and stay steady, YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube page.THE DAWN debuted July 1 across the Pac-12's YouTube and Pac-12 Insider, the league's 24/7 FAST channel. The series culminates with a finale featuring never-before-seen behind-the-scenes content from the building of this new league. It drops in August, right before the season kicks off.

Episode SummaryRecorded live at the San Diego Angel Conference finale at SDSU, Eric Ries — author of The Lean Startup — sits down with product leader and founder coach Vidya Dinamani to unpack his new book, Incorruptible. His argument: there's a gravitational force that pulls even mission-driven companies toward decay — “the making of money without the creating of value” — and the more successful you get, the bigger a target you become. Eric walks through how it happens (stack-ranking by ROI, the “what would investors want” ghost in every meeting, Groupon's two-emails-a-day spiral), why the fix has to come earlier than anyone wants (“it's too early until it's too late”), and the concrete governance moves that keep the great ones honest. Along the way: the San Diego origin story of Costco, Cloudflare giving away its best paid feature, Anthropic's long-term benefit trust, a hard-nosed take on AI, and a health insurer whose customer-service reps act like guardian angels.Key Topics* Corruption as “making money without creating value”* The gravity that pulls companies from mission to mediocrity* Costco's San Diego origin — and why FedMart died* Why stack-ranking by ROI buries the work that builds trust* “It's too early until it's too late” — protecting the mission in time* The PBC filing and binding your board to the mission* AI as a “Dunning-Kruger factory,” and how to actually use it* “Love” as an operating framework: the Devoted Health storyLinks & Resources* Incorruptible* The Lean Startup* Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE)* San Diego Angel ConferenceConnect on LinkedIn* Neal Bloom * Eric Ries* Vidya Dinamani This is a public episode.

Aaron Johnston has spent the last 26 seasons building South Dakota State University into one of the premier mid-major programs in women's college basketball. Under his leadership, the Jackrabbits have dominated the Summit League, consistently winning conference championships and earning NCAA Tournament berths. Most recently, SDSU has reached the NCAA Tournament in four consecutive seasons, continuing a standard of excellence that has made the Jackrabbits the benchmark for success in the conference.One of the most remarkable aspects of Johnston's career is that he successfully guided the program through its transition from Division II to Division I without missing a beat. While many programs struggle through that process, the Jackrabbits quickly established themselves as contenders at the Division I level. Johnston has also intentionally challenged his teams with demanding Power Four non-conference schedules, believing those early-season tests prepare his players to compete in March and elevate the program into the national conversation year after year.As South Dakota State enters a new chapter following the departure of star Brooklyn Meyer, plenty of attention will be on how the Jackrabbits respond. Even with key pieces to replace, Johnston's track record suggests the expectations won't change. With a culture built on player development, consistency, and championship habits, South Dakota State is poised to remain one of the nation's top mid-major programs and a team capable of making noise in the NCAA Tournament every season.Available wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of the SwineTime Podcast, host Dr. Spencer Wayne is joined by Dr. Bob Thaler of South Dakota State University (SDSU) and President of Pipestone Service, Hannah Walkes, for an in-depth discussion on the future of higher education in agriculture and what it means for the next generation of ag professionals.With nearly 40 years of experience in animal science, extension, and agricultural education, Dr. Thaler shares how universities have evolved—and where they must go next. The conversation explores how student expectations, work ethic, and learning styles have shifted over time, especially in the wake of digital learning and post-COVID changes. While online tools and technology have created new opportunities, the group emphasizes that hands-on, in-person learning remains critical, particularly in livestock production and swine management.A major theme of the episode is how SDSU stands out among land-grant universities. From state-of-the-art swine facilities to strong partnerships with organizations like Pipestone and commodity groups, SDSU continues to invest heavily in creating real-world learning environments. The discussion highlights how these investments directly impact student success, workforce readiness, and agricultural innovation.The episode also dives into agriculture careers beyond the farm, showcasing the wide range of opportunities available today—from production and veterinary medicine to business management, engineering, HR, and precision agriculture. With the rapid growth of precision livestock farming and ag technology, preparing students with both technical and leadership skills is more important than ever.For farmers, parents, and students, Dr. Thaler offers practical advice on education pathways. He stresses the importance of getting off the farm for education or training, whether through a two-year technical program or a four-year university degree, to gain new perspectives and skills needed to manage modern, complex agricultural businesses.As Dr. Thaler approaches retirement, he leaves listeners with powerful reflections on leadership, mentorship, gratitude, and purpose, reminding us that developing people—not just production systems—is the key to a sustainable future in agriculture.
On Sunday, May 31, 2026 hundreds gathered together at the Parma Payne Goodall Alumni Center on the campus of San Diego State University to celebrate the life of SDSU Alumnus and Super Fan, Chet Carney. In this episode we present our audio recording of the ceremony featuring speakers: Don Jones, Sarah Eishen, Jim Herrick, Steve Fisher, Brian Dutcher, and Michael Brunker. Chet Carney enrolled at San Diego State in the late 1970s where he was an SDSU yell leader for the 1978-79 athletic year. He returned to the role in the early 1980s, leading cheers from the football field at the school's request. When that ended, Carney became an unofficial cheerleader for the school he loved — and arguably SDSU's most recognizable fan.

Brick Lombardi is behind the mic, it's 24 hours to Round One, and Tundra FM is running three hours of original music to match the only word that fits right now: ominous. While 31 GMs pace hotel rooms and argue with scouts at 2 AM, Brian Gutekunst sleeps. That energy is the whole vibe tonight. "Creeping" — The official soundtrack of every visiting team's slow psychological collapse inside Lambeau Field. Cold walls, cracked paint, 80,000 people who want you dead. You'll feel it. "Yak God" — Tucker Craft. 6'5", 257 lbs, SDSU product, and apparently getting faster. Brick has 30 years in the business and has never seen a tight end treat contact like a personal insult. This one's for him. "Bathroom" — You know who you are. The Shoulder Touch Guy. We made an entire song. Wash your hands. "Be My Couch" — Jordan Love dissects a secondary on Thanksgiving Thursday night, and Sunday becomes a holiday of a different kind: zero stress, turkey sandwiches, and couch sovereignty.

March Madness has a way of bringing old feelings back to the surface, and for college football fans, there's plenty of unresolved heartbreak left over from the 2025 season. In this college football episode, we introduce the Wiggum Scale, a Ralph Wiggum-inspired framework for rating the most devastating losses and collapses of the year. From Penn State's season-breaking double overtime loss to Oregon at a packed Beaver Stadium, to a South Carolina team that watched a 30-3 halftime lead against Texas A&M completely evaporate, to a botched extra point hold that may have cost Notre Dame a playoff berth, we make peace with more than a dozen moments that some fans may never want to feel again.
