In Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Cyan, we unpack a quiet truth: your work can be powerful—and still invisible. This episode is for anyone doing meaningful work but hesitating to be seen, because visibility feels risky, awkward, or “too much.”

Guest Susan Saravo shares what she learned from TV news and coaching leaders: being visible isn’t ego—it’s leadership. You’ll learn how to create opportunities (not wait for them), handle criticism without shrinking, and prepare so you show up calm, clear, and confident when the moment arrives.
