And since our 2019 start, we've helped register 8.3 million Democrats and independents in the swing districts and states that matter most. We're trying to raise awareness, money, and volunteers as we scale up now for the fight of our lives in November. Would love to talk to anyone interested in helping in any way, or introducing me to people who might be interested!

Also, entrepreneurs that are active in the Design & Engineering space would also be great synergies for me, as I'm currently working on a few Data Center CIP build-out opportunities. If anyone knows of a trustworthy Seismic Structural Engineer that they can refer that focuses on Luxury Development work I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m helping a UK-based EdTech children’s literacy platform expand into the US. Before that, I built a children’s literacy YouTube channel to more than 200K subscribers in 10 weeks, which reinforced something simple: kids engage more when the content genuinely grabs them.
Now, we combine patented read-aloud technology with fresh weekly kids’ news, giving children hot-off-the-press content they actually want to read. Each week, the strongest story is also turned into a short, engaging video designed to hook even reluctant readers and pull them back into reading.
If you care about literacy, education, media, child engagement, or you know a story kids would be fascinated by, I’d love to connect.
See you there!

If you have not been to the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, I would love to share what the org does in rescue/rehabilitation/release for marine mammals that strand along LA County's coast. The hospital has a free viewing experience for seeing patients fairly up close and lots of programming around ocean conservation for all ages. Check out mmccla.org or @marinemammalcare
