In this episode, we talk with Lauren and David, the creators of Sidequest Grid, a festival-based social game that helps attendees meet new people and discover the magic between the sets.

Lauren and David have spent the last few years living full-time in their van, traveling to music festivals across the country and sharing their experiences on Soundchecks to Stage Dives. After attending more than 20 festivals, they turned their passion for community into a creative way to help festival-goers connect.
