El Segundo has quietly become the heartbeat of America’s hard tech revival. Today, we sit down with Jakob Diepenbrock, the "King Connector" behind Discipulus Ventures, to discuss why building real, physical technology isn't just a business opportunity—it’s a divine calling.

If you care about American dynamism, the future of manufacturing, and the intersection of faith and entrepreneurship, this episode is a masterclass in building with purpose. We dive into how Jakob is accelerating the next generation of founders who are moving away from empty SaaS models to solve real-world problems in defense, aerospace, and energy.
