May 27

40 mins

Episode Description

Healey Cypher is CEO and co-founder of BoomPop, a company using AI to help teams plan and host meaningful in-person events. A 4x founder, former COO at Atomic, and former Head of Retail Innovation at eBay, Healey has built and sold companies across commerce, retail tech, and event experiences.

In this episode, Healey shares why he believes the loneliness epidemic is one of the most urgent problems of our time, and how BoomPop is tackling it by making it easier for people to gather in real life. He explains how AI can serve human connection rather than replace it, and why building a company around a mission that matters is what keeps pulling him back to founding.

Healey also opens up about his leadership philosophy: the practice of asking "what would make my son Theo proud" as a decision-making filter, the power of vulnerability in authentic networking, and what four companies have taught him about culture, trust, and staying grounded as a leader.

If you are building, leading, or simply trying to be a better person while doing it, this conversation is for you.
