#30 Who Do You Turn To? - with Yancey Strickler and Ian Hogarth Jan 02, 2016

Show notes

"Watch carefully the magic that occurs when you give a person just enough comfort to be themselves." – Atticus Finch There's a saying: Behind every great man is a great woman. I would add: behind every great entrepreneur is a great friend. The entrepreneurial path simply can't be traveled alone. So when Jerry asked Kickstarter's CEO and Co-founder, Yancey Strickler: Who do you turn to? He response was immediate: Ian Hogarth, Co-founder and Chairman of Songkick. We're grateful to have Yancey and Ian join Jerry in today's podcast to talk about their friendship, the importance of peer relationships in entrepreneurship, the relief of being heard by those who can empathize with your experience, as well as those who can challenge you from a place of love and deep understanding. Enjoy this discussion with Jerry, Ian Hogarth, and Yancey Strickler. This conversation was recorded in early December, and since then Ian has announced his intention to give up the Co-CEO role at Soundkick and focus on his role at Chairman. I'd encourage to read his very well written blog post on this transition here ( http://soundboy.tumblr.com/post/136337729790/new-year-new-roles ).

#29 Who's in Your Corner? - with Carrie Barry and Jerry Colonna Dec 16, 2015

Show notes

"Life doesn't run away from nobody. Life runs at people." - Joe Frazier Carrie Barry has had great challenges to overcome, including real struggles at home that forced her to leave at the age of 12 and strike out on her own. She's proven resilient, stitching the struggles of her past into the fabric of her being and choosing to appreciate and utilize that pain into the work she does today. Carrie Barry is a former Olympic Boxer and entrepreneur who owns and runs a boxing gym in Boulder where people come to break a sweat, get a hug, and learn some valuable life lessons. She also happens to be, in a twist, a boxing coach for 2 of Reboot's finest: Jerry and Ali. Join Jerry in getting a little coaching, and a lot of inspiration in this conversation with Carrie Barry.

#28 Reclaiming the Shadow - with Tracy Lawrence and Jerry Colonna Nov 29, 2015

Show notes

The shadow is everything about ourselves that we do not know or refuse to know, both dark and light. It is the sum total of the positive and negative traits, feelings, beliefs, and potentials we refuse to identify as our own. The shadow is that part of us that is incompatible with who we think we are or are supposed to be. - David Richo Tracy Lawrence, Co-founder and CEO of Chewse, and Jerry talk about authenticity, leading from the heart, and the power of embracing the lost and disowned parts of ourselves. For Tracy, it's not only about being there for the little girl who was bullied in middle school, but also about owning her very own inner bully. Reclaiming that part of herself will not only impact her approach to the latest company experiment, but it also might affect her own leadership and bring her and her company deeper into alignment. links Chewse - https://www.chewse.com Tracy Lawrence on Twitter https://twitter.com/chewishgirl "Shadow Dance" by David Richo http://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Dance-Liberating-Power-Creativity/dp/1570624445 Buffer open salaries blog post https://open.buffer.com/introducing-open-salaries-at-buffer-including-our-transparent-formula-and-all-individual-salaries/

#27 From Caring Comes Courage - with Zoe Weintraub and Jerry Colonna Nov 08, 2015

Show notes

Full notes at Reboot.io/podcast "From caring comes courage." -Lao Tzu It's wonderful to have the support of so many, to have so many who believe in you. But there is another side to it: the weight and fear of disappointing them. Zoe Weintraub is founder of Opus for Work and is our guest on this episode of the podcast. Zoe and Jerry discuss both the beauty and burden of external expectations, and ultimately find that when you follow the emotion and vulnerability associated with them, they expose your superpower hiding in plain sight.

#26 Finding Your Business Soulmate - with The Grommet Co-founders & Jerry Colonna Oct 24, 2015

Show notes

Full notes at Reboot.io/podcast "...the greatest gift of relationship proves to be that as the result of encountering each other, we are obliged to grow larger than we had planned." - James Hollis Two co-founders, who refer to each other as business soulmates, have found themselves in that special place of alignment. A place in partnership where they align not just intellectually, not just energetically, not even just at a values level, but at a human level. Jules Pieri (her second time on the show) and her partner Joanne Domeniconi are the co-founders of The Grommet. They join Jerry to talk about the beginning of their partnership, where and how they found alignment at the human level, how it has evolved over time, and the challenges it represents as they scale the business.

Show notes

Full notes at Reboot.io/podcast See Hugh's special Reboot inspired cartoons on the show notes linked above. Hugh MacLeod has tapped into his own heart and his own woundedness so that he can speak to the hearts of people and organizations to inspire, to question, to laugh and to grow. Hugh joins Jerry in this episode of The Reboot Podcast to discuss how how he got his start, what motivates leaders, and how to work (and lead) from the heart.

#23 With a Little More Care… - Sherman Lee and Jerry Colonna Sep 07, 2015

Show notes

Full notes at Reboot.io/podcast "With a little more care, a little more courage, and, above all, a little more soul, our lives can be so easily discovered and celebrated in work, and not, as now, squandered and lost in its shadow." - David Whyte Sometimes we spend so much time looking at where we aren't or where others have gone that we don't fully appreciate where we are and how much we've grown on the journey. A year ago today, Reboot didn't have a podcast. A year ago today, Sherman Lee was staring down a draining bank account, a shaky business model, and a crippling fear: if I fail, I won't be able to provide. A year later we sit with our 23rd podcast episode, a return visit from one of our first guests, Sherman Lee, and an opportunity to appreciate Sherman's journey and growth since we last spoke.

#22 Does Anyone Really Know What They are Doing? with Sharon Salzberg & Jerry Colonna Aug 23, 2015

Show notes

We're often in (or feel we're in) uncharted waters - a place where making things up as we go is a necessity. Feeling lost in those places can be anxiety-inducing. We feel incompetent. We feel shameful. We can end up feeling that everyone has figured it out but me. But how true is that, really? And perhaps the better question--how can owning my own anxiety in these areas help me step more fully into my authentic self and even increase my capacity for happiness? We are honored to welcome one of our key teachers at Reboot, Sharon Salzberg, to the podcast. In this conversation Sharon and Jerry discuss Sharon's entrepreneurial path, a new definition of success (and failure), authenticity, loving kindness, and the question: Does anyone really know what they are doing?

#21 The Pathless Path - with Bill Morrision and Jerry Colonna Aug 12, 2015

Show notes

"I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding." John O'Donohue The ups and downs, the hills and valleys, the ebb and flow, the rollercoaster - there are many ways to describe the emotional journey of being an entrepreneur. There are also many, many ways we try to straighten out and control the journey. We look to "optimize" for the peaks and minimize the valleys. But what if we're looking at it all wrong? In this episode of the Reboot podcast, Jerry is joined by Bill Morrision, founder of Constellation Behavioral Health, which offers specialized treatment programs for alcohol and drug addiction. With Jerry, Bill explores the deep and complicated connections between his purpose, his mission, the peaks, the valleys, and the fear of going off plan.
