A Conversation with Cyrus Webb, CEO of Conversations Media Group
Hello. What is your name? How long have you
been involved in the entertainment business?
I'm Cyrus Webb, President of
Conversations Media Group. CMG
began in July 2003.
When did you know that you
wanted to be in this business and
what was your motivation?
I knew that I had a story to tell and a gift to
share. I can't say I knew automatically where it would take me or what it would even become. I just wanted to show others
what was possible for them.
Who has helped you along the way and inspired you the most?
I can't say enough about how my mother and grandmother inspired me along my journey. They haven't always understood
what I was doing, but they always supported me. Also my high school art teacher Ms. Phelps was a great inspiration for me.
She once said I was "greatness in the works". That was in 1993, and I never forgot that.
What are some of the highlights of your career so far?
I think the highlights of CMG have really been the reach of our company. I still call Mississippi home, but we have supporters
and clients across the country and around the world. After 10 years we are still growing and getting better.
Have you received any special awards or achievements?
In Mississippi I've been recognized for our co-ed book club called Conversations that I began in 2006. That was a huge honor.
Blogtalkradio.com has recognized my show as one of their top 200 on the air, another testament to our supporters.
Do you have any special events, shows / gigs coming up?
My television show returns online in July. It's called Conversations with Cyrus Webb and follows the pattern of our radio show
in spotlighting individuals around the world. You can find out more at www.conversationswithcyruswebb.com.
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years?
I would love to see my television show syndicated on the Oprah Winfrey Network. I think our kind of programming is a perfect
fit for her audience.
What would you like your legacy to be?
I would like to be remembered as someone who chose to strive for excellence more so than fame. Celebrity status can fade but
leaving an example of endless possibilities is forever.
Any special words of encouragement or advice for our readers?
I can't stress enough the importance of being true to yourself and the brand you are building for yourself. You'll be surprised
how far it will take you.
