  • Thought Leaders

    Cy and Alex are thought leaders. Practitioners and knowledge spreaders. They succinctly explain topic in a way that encapsulates what you know but haven’t necessarily been able to verbalize. I learn something from every podcast!

  • Stop interrupting the guests!

    I love the book and I really look forward to hearing the show, but I get so annoyed and distracted when Cy interrupts the guest and their complete thought. I unfollowed because it’s frustrating when listening.

  • Ego is not your Amigo

    When I heard Cy on a TikTok I wrote the phrase “Your Ego is not your amigo” on my whiteboard. My boss read it and other colleagues and ask where I got it from because they liked it. I told them about Cy and immediately we all went on our phones and downloaded the podcast. Cyn
