    Show notes

    On this week's show we are going to do something different. I’m sure many of you have heard that our great City Manager Cyrus Abhar is retiring at the end of the year. I was personally very saddened to hear the news but I was also very happy for Cyrus for the new ventures and adventures he will now explore. I was pleased to learn that Deputy City Manager Micah Runner will follow Cyrus as our New City Manager.

    In honor of Cyrus retiring we are going to replay the very first episode of this podcast when I was fortunate to spend 90 minutes with Cyrus as our first guest. On the show we talked about his early life in Iran, coming to America a dream he had since he was a young child, getting a great education and landing here in Rancho Cordova as our City manager all those years ago. This is one of my favorite interviews. I have a great time with Cyrus on the show and I will always be thankful he agreed to be our first guest and helped launch this podcast.

    This episode will the final show for this year and our first season. I think we brought you 13 great shows, I enjoyed speaking to every single guest. We will be back on Wednesday January 4th with the first Episode of Season two featuring documentarian and longtime Sacramento TV personality Bill George. We have some great shows lined up early next year, for example a conversation with Sacramento Sheriff James Cooper, Senator Elect Roger Niello and many more.
