On this episode Jarrett Albritton interviews Cyrus Harbin, host of the successful podcast Tech is the New Black (@techisthenewblack), and CMO of ValidiFi. Cyrus has been killing it on social media, sharing resources like the bootcamps that got him his first Sales Engineering job in Tech, and highlighting individuals that are doing great in Tech. Cyrus opens up about how he went from a Lyft driver, to a Tech bootcamp, to a high paying tech job, and more importantly the mindset that helped him overcome adversity, along with the resources and strategy that accompanied it.  He also shares his journey building a personal brand on social media, that has led to expanding his network, becoming a millionaire, and landing a C-Level role at Tech startup, ValidiFi.  Make sure to subscribe, as we release episodes every Saturday.
