Show Notes:
Hey everyone, I'm Matthew Cicanese and today marks a new chapter for this podcast.
I've decided to change the name!
We're going from "The Curious Lens Podcast with Matthew Cicanese", to simply "Matthew Cicanese Podcast". This change reflects our journey's natural evolution and I wanted to share why it's a step forward for all of us. My conversations in life have always been about experiencing the world through more than one lens, more than just photography and more than just storytelling and creativity. It's about exploring a diverse spectrum of life from all the different angles and intricacies of things like neurodiversity to the empowering forces of technology. It's time that our podcast name
reflects this breadth.
I have friends and colleagues who I've interviewed in the past that I'd like to unearth and share in different ways. I want the deep dive discussions I have to make a direct
impact for you and this podcast is our shared platform for stories bigger than just myself. Simplicity is my biggest challenge and my favorite quote is if I had more time,
I would have written a shorter letter, a quote by William Blake. While this announcement isn't just a name change, it's a commitment to exploring the complex ideas in an accessible and inclusive way. It's about understanding and embracing beauty and all of our different minds.
So, welcome to the Matthew Sykines podcast. Again, this isn't just a name change. It's an affirmation of my mission to explore, understand, and empower through empathy.
Thank you so much for continuing to be a part of my journey and I look forward to what's next. If you know anybody who might be interested in this podcast, please consider sharing it with them, and as always on The Curious Lens... Until next time, stay curious.
