Magic, Meaning & Making Bold Moves [Part 2]
In this radiant, soul-shaking Part 2 of our conversation with the gorgeous Amy Wiedner (aka Amy Dubs), founder of The Bold Agency, we go even deeper into what it really means to live boldly, trust yourself, and follow the call of something bigger.
This one’s full of heart, humour, and so much resonance. 😍
We talk about:
What it means to live as your boldest self
Navigating ADHD, identity grief, and self-trust
Why confidence is often just self-permission
Spirituality, star children, and the beauty of “woo”
Making peace with privilege, and choosing to do good with it
The making of Her Best Self and why it’s more than just an event
You’ll also hear how:
Amy transformed self-doubt into a powerful mission
She’s building a business rooted in meaning, not metrics
Community, creativity, and courage are at the centre of everything she’s building
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt too much, not enough, or just wildly curious about what else might be possible if you become bold enough to fully believe in yourself.
We’re so glad you’re here for it!

Letting Go to Begin Again – Our Stories, Transitions & The Power of Possibility
Welcome to the first episode of Reinventing the Algorithm! We’re Amy Kiernan and Sydney Robertson - two longtime friends, former tech execs, and now founders - who’ve been on parallel journeys of redefining success, identity, and what it really means to build a meaningful life and career.
In our first episode, we sit down in London after a week of connection, laughter, and big conversations to share the story behind this podcast. We talk about leaving behind our corporate lives (goodbye, Twitter!), navigating the grief and uncertainty that came with it, and the unexpected joy of rediscovering our creativity, self-worth, and sense of possibility.
We reflect on:
What happens when your work becomes your identity
Why “enough” never feels like a destination
The magic of liminal spaces and beginning again
How entrepreneurship is both exhilarating and humbling
And what we’re hoping to create with this podcast
This isn’t just a business podcast or a life podcast - it’s a space for honest, human conversations about what it means to evolve. We’re here for the people on the edge of something new - whether you’re staying in corporate or carving your own path. If you’re rethinking the rules and reinventing what success means to you, you’re in the right place.
We’re so glad you’re here. Let’s begin.
