Ep 19. Socalyalcon Vi

Jess is back in Los Angeles, and the gang is getting ready for the biggest social media event of the year - Socalyalcon VI. With hundreds of influencers and brands in attendance, they are all looking forward to making connections and networking. Schmidt is particularly excited as his company is looking to launch a new product, and he is hoping to make some big moves at the convention.

Meanwhile, Jess is feeling a little out of place. She is not really into social media and is not quite sure how to navigate all the different platforms and trends. However, she is determined to help the gang out and make the most of the event. Winston, on the other hand, has been preparing for Socalyalcon for weeks. He has been working on a new app and can't wait to show it off to all the attendees.

As they arrive at the convention, Jess quickly realizes that this is not her scene. There are influencers everywhere, taking selfies and posting videos, and the gang is quickly swept up in the chaos. Schmidt is approached by several big brands, and Winston is busy handing out flyers and promoting his app. Nick, however, is having the time of his life. He is a natural at networking and is quickly making connections left and right.

As the day goes on, Jess is feeling more and more left out. She runs into an old friend who is also at the convention, and they bond over their mutual dislike of the social media world. They decide to ditch the convention and spend the day exploring LA.

While they are out, they stumble upon a small street fair. Jess is immediately drawn to the artisanal crafts and unique products being sold. She starts talking to the vendors and hears their stories, and she starts to realize that there is something special about these small businesses that can't be replicated on social media.

Back at the convention, Winston's app is starting to gain traction. He is having meetings with potential investors, and he is feeling more confident than ever. However, things start to take a turn when he realizes that there is a bug in the app that is causing it to malfunction. He scrambles to fix it, but it seems like it might be too late.

Schmidt, on the other hand, is starting to feel overwhelmed. He is getting pulled in a million different directions, and he is having a hard time keeping track of all the different opportunities coming his way. He starts to second-guess himself and wonders if he is really ready to launch his new product.

As the day comes to a close, the gang reunites and shares their experiences. Jess tells them about the street fair and the people she met, and the others share their successes and failures at the convention. Everyone is feeling a little exhausted and overwhelmed, but also incredibly proud of what they accomplished.

In the end, Socalyalcon VI was a huge success for everyone. They all learned something new about themselves and their passions, and they made some valuable connections along the way. As they head home, they are already looking forward to next year's convention, and all the adventures it will bring.

Overall, this episode is a fun and lighthearted look at the world of social media and the pressures of networking and branding. It explores the idea that there is more to success and happiness than likes and followers, and encourages viewers to stay true to themselves and their own unique journeys.
