Founded in 2019, California Insider started as a YouTube channel with a mission to provide unique insights into critical issues affecting the state. By featuring in-depth interviews with leaders, experts, and professionals, we aimed to shed light on important topics through their firsthand experiences and specialized knowledge, offering perspectives that are often overlooked by mainstream media.
As we continued to grow, our commitment to delivering thoughtful, well-researched content resonated with our audience, establishing California Insider as a trusted and reliable source of information. Eventually, our platform has expanded to this news site. Today, we are proud to serve as a go-to resource for many Californians seeking the truth on issues that shape our state.
I've lived in California for over 20 years, and during that time, I've seen the state go through significant changes. Having grown up in Iran and lived in Mexico and China, I've always been fascinated by the complexities of the places I call home. California is no different.
When friends, family, and colleagues began to leave, I wanted to understand why. That curiosity led me to launch California Insider in 2019—a platform where I explore key issues affecting the state, from homelessness and crime to housing and education.
Through more than 300 interviews with experts, I've come to realize that many of California's challenges stem from a lack of awareness and informed discussion. California Insider aims to provide people with the knowledge to better understand these issues.
Through these conversations, I hope to help everyone gain a clearer perspective on the state's challenges and make decisions with greater understanding.
In today's increasingly polarized society, finding common ground is essential for a positive future where people from all walks of life can work together. Our mission is to present an honest portrayal of our Golden State through the voices of its people, fostering a stronger, more unified community.
