Welcome to the first episode of Reinventing the Algorithm! We’re Amy Kiernan and Sydney Robertson - two longtime friends, former tech execs, and now founders - who’ve been on parallel journeys of redefining success, identity, and what it really means to build a meaningful life and career.

In our first episode, we sit down in London after a week of connection, laughter, and big conversations to share the story behind this podcast. We talk about leaving behind our corporate lives (goodbye, Twitter!), navigating the grief and uncertainty that came with it, and the unexpected joy of rediscovering our creativity, self-worth, and sense of possibility.

We reflect on:

• What happens when your work becomes your identity
• Why “enough” never feels like a destination
• The magic of liminal spaces and beginning again
• How entrepreneurship is both exhilarating and humbling
• And what we’re hoping to create with this podcast

This isn’t just a business podcast or a life podcast - it’s a space for honest, human conversations about what it means to evolve. We’re here for the people on the edge of something new - whether you’re staying in corporate or carving your own path. If you’re rethinking the rules and reinventing what success means to you, you’re in the right place.

We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s begin.
