The most in-depth startup podcast you’ll ever listen to.

The Reboot Podcast showcases the heart and soul, the wins and losses, and the ups and downs of leadership.

Beyond spreadsheets and strategy lies the beating heart of leadership. The Reboot Podcast isn’t just about business; it’s about the soul of building something meaningful. Join Jerry Colonna and other members of Team Reboot as they go deep with entrepreneurs, CEOs, and leaders like you, exploring the emotional journeys we all face.

Forget the sanitized success stories. Here, we dive into the wins and losses, the triumphs and breakdowns, the moments where vulnerability and courage dance on the edge of the unknown.

Each episode is a raw conversation, a shared experience. From imposter syndrome to burnout, major transitions, anxiety, and even co-founder conflict, no challenge is off-limits. You’ll find laughter, tears, and moments of profound wisdom as you discover tools and strategies to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of being a leader to today’s complex world.

This isn’t just a podcast; it’s a community. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, practical tips, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone, we’re so glad you’re here.

  • “Holy crap your podcast is so amazing that I have to stop it and absorb what was said so I could think about it. I've had issues that were so tough for me to deal with that I looked away. But for founders, that's a haaard thing to admit. I savor your work guys. Thank you for making it.”
