The Sneaky DIY of Cy Tymony
Manage episode 421237553 series 2832853
My guest is Cy Tymony, author of "Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things" and "Sneaky Math." Cy has a wonderful DIY worldview that he shares through his many books. He reveals a secret world to you if you're willing to be a little sneaky. To Cy, sneaky means you learn about something that not everybody knows, the way a magician has learned to do a trick and then can amaze their friends. Cy says his point is to encourage everyone to "discover the power and resources that you have," which is some ways the life story of Cy Tymony.
