The Reboot Podcast

When it comes to confidence, feeling A-Ok with showing vulnerability, and trying to avoid the sneaky snares of Imposter Syndrome, we often feel at odds, torn between the parts of us that say, “Who do you think you are?” and the parts of us who know who we are. Self-doubt and inadequacy can creep in and color the most assured parts of us at times. But, what’s really at play here? We know it’s an inside job to keep ourselves clear-headed and attuned with our inner knowing, regardless of what the world throws our way in terms of perceptions, biases, and double standards. How do we, as women, stay in our own bodies, hold fast to our own truths, and not view ourselves through the eyes and expectations of others in the world-at-large? Who do you choose to be? What life do you want to lead? In this third episode of our Women Conversation series, Reboot Co-founder Ali Schultz joins fellow coaches Ann Mehl, Heather Jassy, and Miriam Meima for an exploration of how imposter syndrome grips women, the masks they feel they need to wear, and all that gets in the way of women feeling their inherent enoughness.

What are the factors that contribute to the failure of almost 90% of startup ventures? In this episode, Jerry sits down with author and Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann to discuss the patterns that often precipitate the vast majority of startup failures. The pair take a closer look at how the advice to “fail fast” often leads founders to false start — risking capital and time on the wrong solutions. They shine a light on the pressure founders feel to grow the business rapidly, the lionization of venture capital, and the true human cost of failure. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In our coaching practice, one of the most common questions we receive from investors is, “How do I build more trusting and impactful relationships with leaders in my portfolio?” As coaches, we believe the core challenge that limits the ability for founders and investors to connect in a more collaborative way is rooted in the dynamics of power. In this short clip, Dan Putt, Reboot Co-founder and Director of Client Engagement and Reboot’s Director of Coaching, Andy Crissinger define the three dimensions of power and share their advice for navigating power differences to build better founder-investor relationships.

This being human is a profoundly awesome adventure; our lives are peppered with moments of happiness, joy, and wonder, but our experiences can be messy, exhausting, and heavy too. As leaders, how do we manage the cacophony of emotions that we inevitably carry with us to the workplace? What holds us back from opening up, sharing, and being true with our colleagues, especially when we’re struggling? Ryan Caldbeck is the Founder and Executive Chairman of CircleUp. In this episode, Ryan opens up about the inherent loneliness that comes with being a CEO and reveals how a particularly challenging period in his life exacerbated those feelings of isolation. He describes how an interaction with his young daughter drove his decision to step back from his role as CEO, the relief that sharing his experience with his colleagues brought, and the grief that comes hand in hand with closing this chapter of his life. Jerry encourages Ryan to see that in his sadness lives an opportunity to turn towards curiosity and inquire deeply about what’s being born and who he wants to become in this next stage of life.

As frequent listeners of the podcast can attest, a well-formed open, honest question can be a catalyst for radical self-inquiry and deep inner work. For Gino Zahnd, the founder of Cozy and Seabright, that question was, “What would I like the people that I work with to know about me that they don’t know?.” Gino, who lives with a rare genetic order called Fabry Disease, shares how one profound question asked at Reboot Bootcamp gave him the courage to share his health struggles with his team and ultimately led to a life-changing kidney donation from a colleague. Jerry chats with Gino about how things have changed since his Bootcamp experience in 2016, his decision to step down as CEO of Cozy, and his new life in Colorado. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
