Welcome to Season One Episode Nine of the HECHO Corpus Christi Podcast, the podcast featuring Corpus Christi’s Creators Makers Doers and Builders. Daniel Benavides is our guest on today’s episode. Daniel is a Corpus Christi-area native who was born on Christmas Eve! By day, Daniel manages logistics for an oil-and-gas supply company. By night, Daniel and his partners plan, organize, and run the Corpus Christi Comic Con and Somewhere Texas Apparel. Daniel’s passion for Corpus Christi shines through in this episode as he discusses his two ventures. We recorded this episode at The Sushi Room in the Waterstreet Market as Daniel, and his son Liam, are working at the American Bank Center to get ready for the 3rd Comic Con, which runs Saturday and Sunday, June 29th and 30th, 2019. You can buy tickets at corpuschristicomiccon.com. This year’s guests include Dean Cain, Stanley and Oscar from The Office, two Power Rangers, and many more! It’s great entertainment for the whole family, and in this episode, you’ll get a little peek behind the scenes of how it all began. 

We are fortunate that Daniel and his partners have been willing to put in the legwork and shoulder the risk of creating these opportunities for us! You can follow Comic Con on Instagram @CCTXComicCon and Somewhere Texas @somewheretexasapparel. You can also follow Daniel’s wife Meagan’s photography business @meaganbenavidesphoto.
