In this episode of C-Sweet Talks, Co-CEOs Dianne Gubin and Beth Hilbing sit down with Shirin Sabouri, CPA, Senior Tax Manager at CohnReznick, for a candid conversation on career resilience, flexibility, and the people side of tax.
Shirin shares her path from CSUN to Big Four to CohnReznick; how parenting shaped her career decisions; what keeps women in (or drives them out of) the profession; and why “building the bench” through mentoring is non‑negotiable. We also get into compliance madness, shifting tax laws, digital transformation, cybersecurity, and teaching financial literacy to kids. Real talk. Real leadership. Real life.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
