JACKSON, Miss. - Aug. 10, 2020 -Going into 2020, Mississippi native Cyrus Webb was looking forward to a big year for his Conversations brand. After covering events in Los Angeles during January and February, he was going to be hosting events around the country throughout the rest of the year. "This was going to be one of my busiest years yet," says Webb,45.
The spread of the Coronavirus, however, sidelined his travel plans but not his vision for the year. "I, like everyone else, had to reevaluate everything," he says. "Travel was out, yes, and thankfully my business can be operated anywhere. I had to take action."
What resulted from that action has been an expansion of his Conversations media brand. 2020 has brought a growth in his radio show Conversations LIVE, as well as the fact he has been able to reach some celebrity guests he has tried to interview for years. "With them sidelined at home it is the perfect time for me to book them," he says. Currently he is heard on Blogtalkradio, iTunes, WYAD 94.1 FM in Yazoo City, Mississippi and iHeartRadio. To date Webb has interviewed over 400 guests on the radio show in 2020 alone.
Outside of the radio show Webb celebrated the 14th anniversary of his online and print publication Conversations Magazine. In the past decade the magazine has featured over 900 guests. This year also marks 10 years the magazine has been in print.
Also on the publishing front Webb is releasing the 2nd edition of his book WORDS I CHOOSE TO LIVE BY in August, sharing daily positivity with readers. He is also working with Mississippi natives Melissa Banks and Darius Ewing in releasing their autobiographies this year.
The biggest growth for Webb this year has been his position as a Top 500 Amazon Reviewer. As an Amazon Influencer he is growing his audience around the world through social media. For the past 5 years Webb has been one of the top Amazon Reviewers in the country. He has written over 5k reviews of books, music, clothing and households goods. Currently he is ranked the #215th Amazon Reviewer in the country, striking brand deals with companies around the world.
Webb's advice for others looking to come out of these challenging times with something they can be proud of doing is this: "We all have to make an assessment of where we are and where we want to go," he says. "The important thing is to do something. Maybe you can't do everything you want, but don't let this time go by without your making at least a move towards something you want to achieve."
