In this episode we hear from Cynt Marshall and how she advocates for creating an inclusive space where every voice matters. Her goal is to establish an environment where every voice is not only heard but also respected, allowing women to thrive. Cynt firmly believe that women are natural leaders, regardless of their official titles, and that their contribution is vital to the success of any organization.

Encouraging women to support one another, Cynt shares how she promotes the practice of "HASU," meaning "hook a sister up," and emphasizes the importance of solidarity. In this lively conversation Tara talks with her about how to avoid undermining each other and acknowledge there is ample room for all at the table, rejecting the notion that only one can succeed. Cynt’s vision is to foster an environment where women can flourish and rely on each other.

In her book, You’ve Been Chosen, Cynt details how she managed her personal and professional life while facing limited capacity during chemotherapy. Out of her illness came one of her greatest lessons and she shares, both in the book and on this episode, how valuable it is to know the difference between your crystal balls and your rubber balls. Her circumstance compelled her to prioritize her activities and reevaluate her commitments. Thus, letting small balls drop. Those are your rubber balls, says Cynt. Those bounce back.

Cynt Marshall is one of the most dynamic leaders in America. She’s a friend to all and has never met a stranger. She always has a kind word, and many times the last word, for those lucky enough to be in orbit. This hour-long conversation touches on leadership, family, faith and the future of women in business. Tune in to the very end for a lighting round of questions with the woman we all want to grow up to be, Cynt Marshall.
