For our first fresh conversation of 2020 we’re releasing the next installment in our Women’s Conversation series, a collaborative discussion sparked by our coaches who identity as women, on what women face in work and in life. In today’s episode, Reboot co-founder Ali Schultz is joined by fellow executive coaches Heather Jassy and Ann Mehl for a dialogue centered around motherhood and fertility, and working through it all. Together, Ali, Heather, and Ann (who are both mothers of two) address some of the singular challenges women face when it comes to family planning and share their own unique experiences as mothers in the workplace. We hope you’ll enjoy this conversation which serves to tackle some of the questions our clients work through such as, “Is motherhood right for me? When is the right time to start a family? How do I manage maternity leave and navigate the return to work?” and much more. *Please note that this episode contains explicit language and may not be suitable for young ears.

Tracy Lawrence, Co-founder and CEO of , joins Jerry talk about authenticity, leading from the heart and on the power of embracing the lost and disowned parts of ourselves, the parts in her shadow. 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.

In this episode of the Reboot Podcast, we welcome professional ultramarathon runner Dylan Bowman. After an explosive season of personal successes on the race circuit, Dylan shares how an abrupt series of injuries and unexpected setbacks rattled his perceptions of control and precipitated questions about identity and self-worth. Conversing with Jerry, Dylan expands on how the obstacles he’s faced have provided the opportunity for reflection and personal growth. Dylan recognizes that talking honestly and openly about his adversities lessens his feelings of loneliness and opens his heart to the salve of community. Jerry emphasizes the power of wounds and implores Dylan to remember this period of pain and adversity and allow his experience to broaden his capacity to extend compassion to others. As a final offering, Jerry proposes how working with feelings around attachment and grief could benefit Dylan on his journey of radical self-inquiry. Leave us a review on iTunes!

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
