Most people never think about their trash cans after pickup day, but raw food scraps are quietly turning neighborhood bins into a breeding ground for bacteria, intense odors, and toxic infestations. In this episode, Jim sits down with Nick Petro, the co-founder of Clean Waste Bins (CWB), to discuss how he is entirely revolutionizing the sanitation industry using cutting-edge robotics. What started as a local "mom-and-pop" operation knocking on doors right here in La Jolla has evolved into a full-scale tech powerhouse. Thanks to an innovative, patented truck designed by robotics engineers, CWB is scaling utility-scale infrastructure nationwide to help cities, waste haulers, and HOAs meet strict new government ordinances. 🛑 Inside the Episode: Robotics on the Move: How CWB’s automated trucks clean up to 500 bins a day—matching the fast pace of standard waste haulers without the driver ever needing to step out of the vehicle. The 200°F Blast: A look at the eco-friendly technology that utilizes high-pressure water heated to 200°F to instantly kill 99% of bacteria while capturing and recycling 100% of the water used.

Most people never think about their trash cans after pickup day, but raw food scraps are quietly turning neighborhood bins into a breeding ground for bacteria, intense odors, and toxic infestations. In this episode, Jim sits down with Nick Petro, the co-founder of Clean Waste Bins (CWB), to discuss how he is entirely revolutionizing the sanitation industry using cutting-edge robotics. What started as a local "mom-and-pop" operation knocking on doors right here in La Jolla has evolved into a full-scale tech powerhouse. Thanks to an innovative, patented truck designed by robotics engineers, CWB is scaling utility-scale infrastructure nationwide to help cities, waste haulers, and HOAs meet strict new government ordinances. 🛑 Inside the Episode: Robotics on the Move: How CWB’s automated trucks clean up to 500 bins a day—matching the fast pace of standard waste haulers without the driver ever needing to step out of the vehicle. The 200°F Blast: A look at the eco-friendly technology that utilizes high-pressure water heated to 200°F to instantly kill 99% of bacteria while capturing and recycling 100% of the water used. The Massive Market Gap: Why 70% of people still have no idea professional bin sanitation exists, yet the service maintains a massive 90% customer retention rate once people experience the difference.

It’s Nakey Time to Talk Citihood. 🌊🗳️ In Episode 76, host Jim McInerney sits down with Liv Johnson — fifth-generation San Diegan, La Jolla native, festival producer, and one of the leading voices behind the movement to make La Jolla an independent city separate from San Diego. Liv's journey started early. She launched Almost Nakey out of a Volkswagen bus while still in high school, and by 16 was already producing music festivals drawing thousands of attendees. Today she runs some of Southern California's most exciting events — including the Almost Nakey Freedom Fest, festivals at Belmont Park, and weddings at the iconic La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. But this conversation goes far beyond festivals. Liv opens up about why she believes La Jolla must separate from the City of San Diego — deteriorating infrastructure, overcrowded beaches, neglected sidewalks and beach stairs, and a bureaucracy too slow for a community that deserves real attention. With over 9,000 verified signatures and a fiscal analysis underway, the City of Hoya movement is closer than ever to appearing on a real ballot. What we cover in this episode: Building Almost Nakey from a VW bus into a Southern California event brand Almost Nakey Freedom Fest — San Diego's most unique outdoor festival The La Jolla cityhood movement and why it matters in 2024 La Jolla's history as an artist colony and how independence could restore its culture, Infrastructure, local governance, and what separating from San Diego really means.

For over a decade, one question kept coming up at every dinner table in the 92037 — "Do you remember Roppongi?" The answer is yes. And now it's back. In Episode 75 of Discover La Jolla, host Jim McInerney sits down with Alfie Szeprethy, Executive Chef behind the most anticipated restaurant reopening in San Diego. Originally opened in 1998 and gone since 2015, Roppongi has returned to its iconic home on Prospect Street — stripped to the concrete, rebuilt from scratch, and better than ever. This isn't just a restaurant story. It's a La Jolla story. 🍜 What We Get Into: The Comeback — 10 years gone. What it actually took to bring San Diego's most missed restaurant back to Prospect Street The Renovation — Gutted down to bare concrete and iron rafters.

For over a decade, one question kept coming up at every dinner table in the 92037 — "Do you remember Roppongi?" The answer is yes. And now it's back. In Episode 75 of Discover La Jolla, host Jim McInerney sits down with Alfie Szeprethy, Executive Chef behind the most anticipated restaurant reopening in San Diego. Originally opened in 1998 and gone since 2015, Roppongi has returned to its iconic home on Prospect Street — stripped to the concrete, rebuilt from scratch, and better than ever. This isn't just a restaurant story. It's a La Jolla story. 🍜 What We Get Into: The Comeback — 10 years gone. What it actually took to bring San Diego's most missed restaurant back to Prospect Street The Renovation — Gutted down to bare concrete and iron rafters. Why they keep the original kitchen layout and completely reimagined everything else The Menu — Your favorites are back. Crab stack. Hot rock. Kung pao calamari.

Scene</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a professional opera singer trades the grand stages of Europe for a kitchen in La Jolla? Meet Cesar Sanchez, the visionary owner of Taco Time Cantina on Fay Avenue. After spending over 20 years performing across Europe, the pandemic shifted Cesar’s path, leading him back to California to pivot his artistic passion into a brand-new medium: authentic culinary arts. Cesar breaks down why singing and cooking are deeply connected art forms and shares the uncompromising philosophy that makes Taco Time a local phenomenon. From sourcing specialty masa directly from a family in Mexico to cooking exclusively with premium avocado oil, Cesar treats his menu exactly like an opera—focusing on a few perfect "showstoppers" (like his legendary California burrito and Baja fish taco) rather than an overwhelming variety. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, a foodie, or a La Jolla local, Cesar's story of artistic pivot, community integration, and dedication to authentic flavors is an absolute must-watch. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for more deep dives into the minds of local visionaries and community builders in the 92037! 📲 CONNECT WITH US 🌐 Website: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbkRuaFRvRjVWNFp3c1NuRm9yejIzN090MkF5d3xBQ3Jtc0tuSy00NEk3M1M0RnFPRTFqX2laUzhjTTVHT2dGb3dkeEpPY2V4RGc5VDRzbk5HUlFndW1GR3lmb1VJekl3c2hQa3lqRkhDYVJBSllaUjJhN1J4R1FNNEsxbW84b2xrN2tfcF83R0VrMlc0bUZVandQNA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fjimmcinerney.com%2F&amp;v=WOA3I1Qhb2M" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jimmcinerney.com/</a> 📸 Instagram (Discover La Jolla): @discover.lajolla 📸 Instagram (Jim McInerney): @jimmcinerney_realestate 🌮 VISIT TACO TIME CANTINA 📍 Fay Avenue, La Jolla, CA 📸 Instagram: @tacotimecantina If you enjoyed this video, please leave a Like, comment with your favorite taco, and share it with a friend! 🦍 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/tacotimecantina" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TacoTimeCantina</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lajolla" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaJolla</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sandiegofood" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanDiegoFood</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/operatochef" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OperaToChef</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lajollalocal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaJollaLocal</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sandiegoeats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanDiegoEats</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/entrepreneurstory" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EntrepreneurStory</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/92037" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#92037</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lajollafoodies" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaJollaFoodies</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/fayave" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FayAve</a></p><p></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a professional opera singer trades the grand stages of Europe for a kitchen in La Jolla?

Fortunately, an international movement to protect it is starting right here in our own backyard. In this episode, we sit down with Serge Dedina—a local legend: a waterman, filmmaker, UCSD alum, and PhD who co-founded WILDCOAST over 26 years ago. Today, his international team is on the frontlines of ocean conservation, safeguarding critical wildlife hotspots from California all the way to Colombia. 🔥 Inside the Episode: The La Jolla Cove Success Story: How our marine reserve became a global model proving that eco-tourism and wildlife conservation can successfully coexist, sparking a massive rebound in local fish and shark populations. Guardians of the Wild: The story behind his incredible film documenting the coastal communities in Mexico working to protect the migratory species—like leopard sharks and grey whales—that travel directly between Baja and San Diego. The Grey Whale Crisis: A raw look at the alarming 50% decline in the grey whale population due to climate change, and what it means for our shared marine ecosystems.

In this episode of Discover La Jolla, we sit down with Jeff Sternberg from KOI Wellbeing to uncover the technical reality of naturopathic medicine. Jeff’s journey through a complex Cushing syndrome diagnosis revealed a massive "data gap" in traditional allopathic care. We’re moving beyond the "herbs and tree bark" stereotypes. Join us as we explore how naturopathic practitioners use the same rigorous med-school foundations—anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology—but shift the focus toward the body’s innate, biological desire to heal itself using deep diagnostic data. 📍 Highlights from this Conversation: The Diagnostic Gap: Why traditional medicine often lacks the tools for complex cases. The Data-First Approach: Understanding naturopathy as a highly technical, medicinal field. Med School Realities: A look at the shared rigorous training between allopathic and naturopathic doctors. Biological Resilience: How to provide your body with the roadmap it needs to restore itself. "It’s not just holistic; it’s a sophisticated, technical pursuit of the root cause." 🔗 About Our Guest: Jeff Sternberg is a leader at KOI Wellbeing, a premier health and wellness destination in La Jolla/San Diego dedicated to integrative care and high-performance health. 🌐 Explore KOI Wellbeing: koiwellbeing.com Subscribe to Discover La Jolla: ✨ Stay Connected: Subscribe for more in-depth conversations with the leaders and visionaries of The Jewel. ✨ Instagram: @DiscoverLaJolla <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/discoverlajolla" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiscoverLaJolla</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/jeffsternberg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeffSternberg</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/koiwellbeing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KOIWellbeing</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/naturopathicmedicine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturopathicMedicine</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/integrativehealth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IntegrativeHealth</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/medicaldata" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MedicalData</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/cushingsyndrome" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CushingSyndrome</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lajollalife" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaJollaLife</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/thejewel" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheJewel</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/holisticscience" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HolisticScience</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sandiegowellness" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanDiegoWellness</a></p><p></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when the world’s top medical institutions hit a dead end?
