Reboot Extra #5: Women's Conversations: Making Space for Your Own Truth Nov 22, 2019

Show notes

This Reboot Extra marks the first of a Women's Conversation series, a collaborative discussion with Reboot's coaches who identify as women, on the realities of women in work and life. We'll go broad and deep on a bosom-full of topics that can weigh on a woman's heart; finding solidarity as we weave insight from a range of well-hewn threads of wisdom - our own experience as women in the workplace, as mothers, healers, and coaches. In this first episode, Reboot Co-founder Ali Schultz and fellow senior coach Heather Jassy acknowledge and reflect on the many ways in which women are affected by gender biases in the workplace and the ways in which those barriers can distort and conflate their notions of value and self-worth. Ali and Heather discuss the 'crabs in a bucket' theory and unpack the phenomenon of tall poppy syndrome. Finally, they highlight the importance of setting boundaries, making space, and connecting to your truth. *Please note that this episode contains explicit language and may not be suitable for young ears.

#115 - This Could Be Our Future - with Yancey Strickler & Jerry Colonna Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the Reboot Podcast Jerry sits down with Yancey Strickler (Co-founder and former CEO of Kickstarter) to explore his recently released book, "This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World," which lays out a vision for building a society that looks beyond money and toward maximizing the values that make life worth living. During this conversation, Yancey and Jerry consider how our values shape the way in which we (and our companies!) show up to meet the world. Yancey sheds light on how the Western World has shifted away from a culture that highly values community, purpose and fairness, and has instead placed focus and value on decisions that maximize financial gain. In order to tackle the major problems facing the world today, Yancey calls for a radical shift in how we view rational self-interest, proposing that self-coherence, or making decisions that are aligned with who you really are and want to be in the future, is the key to expanding our world view. When we come into alignment with ourselves, we are building a greater capacity to see the ways in which our choices could have a greater influence beyond ourselves. In shifting from a 'me' to an 'us' way of looking at the world, we open ourselves up to the ability to make choices that will create a fairer and more fulfilling world to live in.

#114 - The Shoulds of the Past & the Anxieties of the Future - with Shizu Okusa & Jerry Colonna Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Along the entrepreneurial journey there comes a time and place for all leaders where we lift our heads from the fog of busyness to find ourselves on an unknown path. Knowing where we are isn't exactly where we intended to be, we look to the past for clues to how we've landed in this spot. For many, this is the integral moment in which we come to realize that our internal and external selves have fallen out of alignment. Our guest on this episode of the Reboot Podcast is Shizu Okusa, Founder & CEO of Wellthy & Co. Feeling stagnant and unsure, Shizu looks to Jerry for support and clarity in discerning the best future for her company and herself. Like most leaders in a position of power, Shizu feels the pull of responsibility to her investors and employees to, "Do the right thing." As the conversation develops, Jerry aids Shizu in unpacking how intergenerational familial trauma may have manifested as a set of subroutines, directly influencing how she shows up in leadership and life. Shizu begins to acknowledge the ways in which the shoulds of the past and the anxieties of the future limit herself from fully stepping into the now. Jerry reminds Shizu that radical self-inquiry is the catalyst for unraveling the unconscious threads that dictate our lives, the key to alignment between inner and outter, and the driving force for strengthening purpose and meaning.

#113 - Invest in Being Yourself (re-release) - with Bryce Roberts & Chris Marks Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

VC's Bryce Roberts of OATV and Indie.vc, and Chris Marks of Blue Note Ventures both found the standard issue of the VC world was not a fit for them. They both sought out to set a new path, one that aligned with who they are and what they value. In a conversation with Jerry, and each other, they explore the challenges on their journey, and the potential opportunities they have to better connect with entrepreneurs through those challenges. In listening to this conversation, we hope you'll consider: In my own work, what are my values? What are my priorities? What would it mean to invest in being myself? Leave us a review on iTunes!

#112 - Stay and Face It - with Fleet Maull & Jerry Colonna Sep 14, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry is joined by Fleet Maull, a fellow coach, social entrepreneur, and author of the recently released book, "Radical Responsibility". In this conversation, Fleet shares how his experience in the US prison system served as the impetus for the formation, development, and personal application of his radical responsibility philosophy. As Fleet characterizes, mindfulness, compassion, and the practice of loving-kindness are at the crux of radical responsibility. By embracing ownership for each and every circumstance we face in life (without assigning blame or cultivating a victim narrative) we are better able to reflect upon our current situations and assess creative solutions for moving forward. In considering radical responsibility, Jerry and Fleet tackle three important questions: How am I complicit in creating the conditions I don't want? In what way can I take ownership for circumstances that I may not have any complicity in? What can be gained from holding your seat amongst the chaos of life?

#111 - Standing in the Gap - with Amy Nelson & Jerry Colonna Aug 29, 2019

Show notes

Although the challenges women leaders face today have been well documented and highly publicized and most of us recognize that women are often forced to tackle unique and disproportionate challenges from their male counterparts, it can be hard to fully empathize with the biases with which we ourselves may not be called to face. On this week's podcast, you'll meet one female founder who generously shares her story and the singular obstacles she's been summoned to encounter. A former corporate litigator, Amy Nelson is now the CEO and founder of the Riveter, a workspace which provides support and equal opportunities for women leaders and changemakers. Born in Seattle in 2017, The Riveter has experienced explosive expansion - with five locations being built in the first 16 months. As a result, Amy is now facing down the many hurdles that emerge during a period of rapid scaling. In this conversation with Jerry, Amy expounds on a few of the barriers she's come up against when raising capital and what it means to take her seat as a leader . Jerry introduces Amy to Parker Palmer's image of "The Tragic Gap," recognizing that Amy has been called to stand in the space between the world that is, and the world that is possible. Carrying the burden for all female entrepreneurs to forge a future where women not only have equal opportunity but a true place of belonging as leaders, forging a system where all individuals are worthy of the freedom to actualize in the fullness of who they are.

#110 - The Mother of Invention - with Jules Pieri & Jerry Colonna Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

A maker: people or hobbyists who pursue the creation of a business around an individual product. On this episode of the Reboot Podcast we welcome Jules Pieri, (Co-founder and CEO of The Grommet) back to the show for the third time. In this dialogue with Jerry, Jules describes the maker space and shares a few stories about entrepreneurs from her new book How We Make Stuff Now: Turn Ideas into Products That Build Successful Businesses. Jerry and Jules note how loneliness often accompanies the maker experience and touch on the importance of peer support in the maker community. Jules expands on how tenacity is integral for a maker's success and how learning to tackle fear creates more resilient leaders. As Pieri proclaims, "people who manage to pursue their ambitions learn to recognize the fear and walk into, rather than practice avoidance." Leave us a review on iTunes!

#109 - With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility - with Dan Harris & Jerry Colonna Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, we're sharing a special conversation between Jerry Colonna and Dan Harris (ABC News, 10% Happier) that was hosted and recorded by the Rubin Museum of Art earlier this month. In this dialogue, Dan and Jerry explore the importance of radical self-inquiry in leadership and life. Jerry conveys the ways in which the sub-routines of our youth influence the way we show up, meet, and communicate with those around us, and how stepping into adulthood requires that we examine the negative parts of ourselves that we don't want to own. We hope you'll enjoy this fireside chat, mini coaching session, and Q&A all wrapped up in one! Leave us a review on iTunes!

#108 - Leading Shoulder to Shoulder - with Sara Hicks & Mathias Meyer Jul 12, 2019

Show notes

In this modern age, the ability to connect across continents and timezones is pivotal for a globally distributed team. While email, video calls, and chatting services provide the means to instantly connect, how successfully do we truly manage to communicate within all these channels? For Sara Hicks, CEO and Co-founder of Reaction Commerce, and recently appointed CTO Mathias Meyer, finding congruence via communication is paramount. On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Sara and Mathias turn to Jerry for support in establishing a blueprint for their new business partnership, specifically looking to gain insight on how to communicate successfully across a large geographical barrier. In this conversation, Jerry puts forth the notion that all human interactions in relationships (whether work or personal) stem from our desire to feel love, safety, and belonging. Jerry helps Mathias and Sara unearth the ways in which their old patterns of communication may be tied to their personal fears around belonging. Jerry encourages Mathias and Sara to consider how exquisite communication built around empathetic connection grants them the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder as leaders and adults, offering them the chance to support each other in their journeys towards growing up.
