Episode 1: Building Real Community with June An
Welcome to the very first episode of The Pretty Chill Podcast. I’m your host, John Dahlgren—and I’m kicking things off with someone who truly lives from the heart: community builder, entrepreneur, and all-around force of nature, June An.
In this conversation, we get into what it really means to show up, connect, and create something that lasts. June shares the story behind his fast-growing community group in Encinitas—Feel Good Fridays—and the wild daily routine that helps him stay grounded (starts at 2:30am, no big deal). We also explore how a tough upbringing shaped his drive to lead with presence, discipline, and compassion.
This one’s for anyone who’s felt the call to create something bigger than themselves. It’s honest, uplifting, and pretty damn chill.
