In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn and Marissa sit down with Alex Canavan, founder of CNY Women’s Network and host of Cultivate with Alex Canavan, to talk about what it really takes to build something meaningful from the ground up. Alex opens up about launching the CNY Women’s Summit at just 22 years old, growing a community for women in business, navigating entrepreneurship in Syracuse, and balancing personal heartbreak with the pressure of showing up publicly as a leader. From networking and brand-building to fitness, ambition, and learning to care less about what doesn’t matter, this conversation is equal parts inspiring, honest, and refreshingly real.
