Story & Lesson Highlights with Steven Cuoco

We recently had the chance to connect with Steven Cuoco and have shared our conversation below.

Steven, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Lately, I’ve been finding joy in reconnecting with the quiet strength of my younger self—the resilience, creativity, and faith that carried me through moments when I felt gated or unseen. That reflection has opened a new door: I’m stepping into acting. It’s a space where storytelling becomes visceral, where I can embody emotion and truth in ways that transcend words. Exploring this craft feels like honoring the spark that first inspired me to build platforms that uplift others such as my public relations firm, United Angels Dream and Power 98.5 satellite radio. Whether I’m experimenting with voice work or preparing for a role, it’s deeply fulfilling to channel that energy into something that might inspire future generations—just as radio hosting inspires me.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Through my platforms, I’ve helped elevate voices that deserve to be heard—whether through powerful interviews, advice columns, or strategic introductions that spark transformation. Lately, I’ve been exploring acting and voice work, reconnecting with the creative spark that inspired me as a child. It’s a full-circle moment, and I’m excited to bring that energy into new spaces where storytelling meets embodiment.

At the core of everything I do is a commitment to transparency, discernment, and uplifting others. I believe in the power of organic communication—messages that flow naturally, land deeply, and leave a lasting impact. Whether I’m behind the mic, in front of the camera, or guiding someone’s brand into the spotlight, I’m here to make every moment count.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
The earliest moment I felt powerful was when I realized my voice could move people—not just emotionally, but toward action, reflection, and transformation. I was young, crafting stories and messages that resonated beyond the page or the mic. Whether it was through writing, broadcasting, or simply showing up with clarity and conviction, I saw how authenticity could shift a room, open hearts, and build bridges. That moment wasn’t about control—it was about presence. It taught me that true power lives in transparency, discernment, and the courage to speak truth with grace.

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
When I was sad as a child, what helped most was finding quiet spaces where I could reflect and reconnect with my inner world. Creativity became my sanctuary—writing, imagining, even just listening to music that made me feel seen. I found comfort in faith and in the belief that my story had purpose, even if I couldn’t yet see the full picture. Over time, I learned that resilience isn’t loud—it’s the quiet decision to keep going, to keep creating, and to hold onto hope even when the world feels heavy. That early understanding still guides me today.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. How do you differentiate between fads and real foundational shifts?
I differentiate between fads and foundational shifts by watching what endures under pressure—what still resonates when the spotlight fades. Fads often chase attention; they’re loud, fast-moving, and surface-level. Foundational shifts, on the other hand, change the way we think, create, and connect. They’re rooted in values, not just trends. I look for patterns that repeat across industries, cultures, and time—movements that invite deeper reflection, challenge norms, and inspire lasting transformation. If something aligns with purpose and expands possibility, it’s not just a moment—it’s a shift worth building on.

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing? 
What I’ll regret most is not fully stepping into the spaces where my voice, creativity, and presence could have made a deeper impact—especially in acting and storytelling. I’ve spent years helping others shine, building platforms that elevate truth and authenticity. But if I don’t honor the call to perform, to embody narratives that inspire and heal, I’ll feel I left something sacred unexplored. I don’t want to look back and wonder what could’ve happened if I had just said yes to the roles, the risks, and the raw moments that asked me to show up as more than a messenger—as the message itself.
