In this soul-stirring conversation, Cyan Banister takes us on an extraordinary journey from sleeping in parks as a homeless teenager to becoming one of Silicon Valley's most visionary investors. With raw authenticity, she reveals how a chance encounter with technology sparked her escape from survival mode, leading to groundbreaking investments in SpaceX and Uber that transformed industries. Beyond her remarkable professional achievements, Cyan shares the profound spiritual awakening that rewired her understanding of reality—from hardcore skeptic to someone who sees magic in life's interconnections. Her philosophy of radical accountability cuts through the noise of victim mentality, offering a powerful framework for facing life's challenges. This isn't just a success story; it's a testament to human resilience, the power of presence, and the mysterious synchronicities that reveal themselves when we remain open to life's deeper dimensions.
