Joel sits down with the dynamic Cynt Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, and explores her early beginnings, cancer diagnosis and success.

Cynt has spent her life breaking barriers, particularly when it comes to rising up the leadership ladder in corporate America. Her 36-year career with AT&T catapulted her to becoming the first female black CEO in the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks in 2018. Marshall built the diversity and inclusion culture at AT&T as Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Diversity Officer. 

This episode features Cynthia “Cynt” Marshall, CEO of the Dallas Mavericks, and Dress for Success Global Ambassador and entrepreneur, Cheyenne Jones. They discuss COURAGE, how this quality has allowed them to defy obstacles that seemed insurmountable, and how the concept has evolved as they advanced their careers.

“Courage is choosing to do something that scares me, that’s unfamiliar or uncomfortable. It’s the strength to just look at it in the face. When I think about it, I always think of my mother. She was a courageous woman.” –Cynthia Marshall

“You just have to let it come out. Put yourself in situations where courage will start to drop out of you and, before you know it, you’re going to be taking leaps and bounds and you’re going to be saying how did I do that?”
–Cheyenne Jones
