1
00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:01.960
For those that don't know you, uh, what's your name and who are you

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:05.000
With? I am Doug Christen with Olympus Lending.

3
00:00:06.150 --> 00:00:08.960
Walk me through your experience here so far. What has it been like?

4
00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:13.320
It's been great. Um, I really like, you know, with the banked here,

5
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:17.240
they don't drag it out for two, three days. Very efficient with how they do the,

6
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:21.040
the meetings and the networking and the panelists, et cetera.

7
00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:25.600
So it's been great to get out and learn more about the industry.

8
00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:28.040
Is it your first time at a de banked event?

9
00:00:28.050 --> 00:00:29.360
First time at de banked? Yes.

10
00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:33.600
So what's a good icebreaker for people to kind of spark up a conversation?

11
00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:39.160
Um, obviously the name tag helps to kind of lead that in, but I mean,

12
00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:44.080
probably what de banked has done a good job at is obviously the location.

13
00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:46.320
There's a lot to talk about with San Diego.

14
00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:50.280
So have you been to San Diego before? What have you done here?

15
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:53.560
And then you kind of lead into the more of the business conversation. So

16
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:54.960
What's your favorite thing about San Diego?

17
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:56.333
The weather.

18
00:00:57.220 --> 00:01:00.120
If you could describe the difference between this weather and Miami and

19
00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:01.400
New York, what would it be?

20
00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:06.040
I mean, Miami's too humid. New York can get too cold.

21
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:08.920
San Diego's a perfect middle ground.

22
00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:13.560
And for those that have never been to an event here in San Diego,

23
00:01:13.750 --> 00:01:14.600
what would you tell them?

24
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:17.920
Uh, come, you'll enjoy it. I mean, like I said,

25
00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:20.360
you're not overwhelmed with the agenda,

26
00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:25.520
so there's a lot to do outside of the property here. So, um,

27
00:01:25.660 --> 00:01:29.000
it, if all fails, you're gonna enjoy the, enjoy the city.
