Welcome to Bold Moves! In today’s episode, Angela sits down with Cydney Mar, a remarkable founder and product development strategist whose career spans over 45 years turning ideas into multi-million dollar brands. From an early start as a competitive figure skater for Canada, Cydney Mar faced a dramatic accident that ended her athletic career, only to reinvent herself as a designer whose collections have been sold on live television worldwide, generating over $300 million in global sales.
Now 67 and still innovating, Cydney Mar runs a 100% Indigenous-owned consulting practice, helping founders take their products from sketch to shelf. Twice, she has rebuilt her life from scratch, and she’s here to share candid insights about reinvention, resilience, and the real stories behind product development—from live TV mishaps to launching her own health product line after a major health scare. Get ready for a conversation about discipline, curiosity, and why your best chapter is yet to come!
