In The Weeds Show ONEDAY

- Cultura y sociedad
In The Weeds is a combined podcast and vlog series created by San Diego-based idea agency ONEDAY. The expression “In The Weeds” is a common phrase used by employees of the hospitality industry when they are slammed during a shift at work. It’s a way of letting the people around them know, “I’m buried right now.” We think today’s generation can relate very closely to this feeling. But unfortunately, the majority of what’s being shared on social media is the finish line, not the race. There’s no trace of the struggle, the work, or the discipline it took to get OUT of the weeds and into the clear. We want to show that struggle. We want to document the work. And ultimately, we want to educate our audience on the discipline it took successful people to get where they are now.

On this episode we sat down with serial entrepreneur Sean Evans and talked about the massive weeds he's fought through to build the successful companies he operates today. Sean began his entrepreneurial career at a young age in college. Eventually selling that first business and enjoying a short-lived retirement in his 20's! He continued on to his next venture and discussed with us the importance of having "stretch goals" in place. He even shared a couple of his own, one of which includes a half billion dollars in annual sales for his company gloves.com!

Surviving the Pandemic - w/ Supervisor Jim Desmond [Ep.36]
On this episode we sat down with San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond. Jim has been involved in politics for nearly 20 years. Eight of which were spent as the Mayor of San Marcos and his most recent years as the District 5 Supervisor in San Diego.
Throughout the pandemic Jim has fought for small businesses all over the county. His battle against California’s draconian policies has created what he described as “the most challenging year of his life.”
This was a very unique story of being in the weeds, but it’s one of the hardest jobs we’ve seen someone take on!

Surviving the Pandemic - Compass & Señor Grubbys w/ Andy Davis & Justin Jachura [Ep.35]
On this episode of our continued series “Surviving The Pandemic”, we sat down with Andy Davis and Justin Jachura.
Both of these men are successful entrepreneurs who own & operate a portfolio of restaurants and bars in the North County area of San Diego.
Though technically their companies are competitors, it has not stopped Andy and Justin from working together during the most challenging times in each of their 20 years in the business. Even developing a movement known as #CommunityCommitted that has brought all business owners in Carlsbad together.
With the help of a local law firm, they have reopened many of the struggling venues in Carlsbad as a daily peaceful protest against the unrealistic State and Federal policies.
They spare no detail in explaining the toll this past year has taken on their businesses and their hundreds of employees.

Surviving the Pandemic - Valley Farm Market w/ Derek Marso [Ep.34]
On this episode of our continued series “Surviving the Pandemic” we sat down with Derek Marso, the owner of Valley Farms Market. Derek is a third generation owner with a jam packed resume! He holds an impressive athletic career, playing football at Kansas State University and eventually making his way to the NFL. But he knew early on there was going to be more to his story than “Derek the football player.”
Since taking over the business, he’s grown the Valley Farms brand ten fold. Adding their second location a year ago with plans to open two other new stores in 2021! He’s a no-nonsense owner with a supreme level of empathy and drive. Derek is also a dedicated father, husband, fellow podcaster, and even a certified cicerone!
We discussed the initiatives his company took as an “essential business” during the pandemic, to help support their community and the many struggling small businesses in San Diego. His perspective on leadership and his commitment to spreading love is a much needed message everyone should hear.
Enjoy.

Surviving The Pandemic - The Boxing Club w/ Artem Sharoshkin [Ep. 32]
On this new format of our podcast, we visited business owner Artem Sharoshkin to discuss how the 2020 pandemic has impacted him and his company. The first most noticeable observation is we were sitting inside his EMPTY multi-million dollar gym located in the heart of downtown San Diego. Artem is the CEO of The Boxing Club, which has 3 locations in San Diego, employing 100+ people. He held nothing back when discussing the toll this has taken on his business, his employees, and himself.
