The Episode We Talk To - Josh Cedeno

Life N Cyber

Mar 26 2024 • 40 mins

Remember those high school days when you proudly wore your varsity jacket and dreamt of pitching in the big leagues? Well, Josh, our CEO who's as much a tech whiz as a baseball fanatic, reminisces about the good old days and more in a heart-to-heart that's as honest as it is hilarious. We sit down with Spanish (that's what we love to call Josh) and traverse his life's path—from a high school techie through the ranks of cybersecurity to the helm of our company—all against the backdrop of New York's magnetic pull, which eventually draws him back home to plant his family roots.

New York isn't just a state; it's a state of mind, especially when you're talking pizza and bagels. Josh and I throw down in the great debate over whether it's the water or the soul of the city that makes these staples so legendary. But it's not just about food; we slide effortlessly from sports injuries we narrowly escaped to the cultural tapestry of life in the Empire State. Swapping tales of suburban calm versus city bustle, we laugh over the quirks of our upbringing, and even take a jab at how algorithms are shaping our tastes—hello, "Love is Blind" binge sessions and superhero showdowns!

As we close the curtains on this episode, we tackle the myths of baldness—because, let's face it, who hasn't googled hair regrowth products at least once? Our chat takes a turn down memory lane as Josh paints the vibrant world of Dragon Ball Z that set his younger self's imagination on fire. From the intricate art of parenting four kids to the tender connection with his Dominican heritage, Josh's narrative is a testament to the colorful life he's led. So, plug in those earbuds and gear up for an episode that's as rich and varied as a New York deli menu.
