Welcome to the Own Your Truth Podcast, a show that highlights individuals who've embraced the dark lessons of life, and used these difficult moments as fuel for growth and success. These are the artists, entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, survivors, and thrivers who have made it to the other side of hardship with unique knowledge, and inspirational insights.
I'm your host Ken Cervera, and I believe a good conversation can change your life. So if you're curious to explore the gritty business of living your purpose, then I invite you to step into the present moment, remove the mask, and Own Your Truth.
Imagine a little girl growing up in Cameroon, from humble beginnings, curious about everything and never afraid to ask why.
Decades later, she is in Silicon Valley building AI technology used by billions of people around the world.
This is Dr. Marie-Ange Eyoum Tagne, and she became the first African-born woman to earn a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Berkeley. She almost quit during that program until one mentor looked her in the eyes and said, I believe in you.
From there, she went on to lead product at Meta, Amazon, Roku, Yahoo and Intel.
Then, after twenty years of eighty hour work weeks, she was laid off. She sat with an empty calendar and started journaling just to find her way back to herself. One question kept surfacing. Who am I without this job and without this title.
In this episode we get into what it really looks like to rebuild your identity after a layoff, the mentors who believed in her before she believed in herself, and the legacy she is building on her own terms.

Ep.91: Live Sovereign
The first time I sat down with Radiah Rhodes was back in 2020, and a lot has changed since then. The world has gotten louder, careers more uncertain, and people everywhere are being forced to ask questions about who they are that they never would have had to ask before. Most of them don't have a language for the answers yet.
Radiah does.
She is the founder of Evoke Life, an identity strategist, author, and coach who has spent over a decade building a methodology around one deceptively simple idea. The reason most of us are stuck has nothing to do with strategy, hustle, or time management. It has everything to do with identity. With who you think you are. And more importantly, who you've forgotten you get to be.
In this conversation, we talk about why change doesn't have to be hard, what happens when your mind jumps straight to catastrophe, and what it actually means to stop being your title and start being yourself. We also revisit three questions I asked Radiah six years ago, and her answers today reveal just how much is possible when you do the work.
Radiah is also preparing to launch Live Sovereign, a digital magazine and 12-month personal operating system designed to help you live your life with clarity and intention. To learn more, reach out to her at radiah@evokelife.com (mailto:radiah@evokelife.com) or DM her at @evoklife on Instagram.

Ep.90: There Will Never Be Another You
Liz Scott, is an author and psychologist who has lived through loss, childhood trauma, cancer, and the quiet realization that time is no longer theoretical. Instead of avoiding that truth, she leaned directly into it. In this episode, we talk about mortality, love, fear, and the deeper question underneath it all: what does it actually mean to live a meaningful life while we're still here?
