News from the Team: Cynthia Friedlob Celebrates 10 Years with Experience Talks

Posted on December 18, 2017 by EngAGE

From EngAGE CEO/Founder Tim Carpenter:

A lovely birthday and anniversary holiday lunch with and for Cynthia and her Mom at the storied Smoke House across from Warner Bros. Cynthia and I met 10 years ago when her Mom saw an ad for a class at the Burbank Adult School for radio writing and said she should check it out. I was the instructor. Cynthia is a better writer and writing instructor, but she never ever says so. Cynthia has an anniversary arts show opening at the NOHO Senior Arts Colony tomorrow night – she is a visual artist as well as running our websites, social media and blog, plus, did I mention, she’s a host/producer of the Experience Talks radio show? I am honored to be friend and colleague of Cynthia, and celebrate her. Happy birthday, my friend. [Thank you, Tim! Most appreciated. ~ Cynthia]

Cynthia, Tim, and Mom (Marian Friedlob) celebrate Cynthia’s 10th anniversary of her first commentary on Experience Talks, 25 years of exhibiting art, and her 70th birthday!

Please join us for the opening reception! More info here.
