Leadership conversations often focus on strategy, growth, and execution.
This one starts somewhere else.
In this episode of Build Without Chaos, I sit down with Jerry Colonna, CEO and Co-Founder of Reboot, executive coach, author, and former venture capitalist, to explore the human side of leadership.
Together we discuss what building a company reveals about the people building it, why hypergrowth can amplify both our strengths and our blind spots, and why sustainable leadership begins long before managing teams or scaling organizations.
We also explore:
- Why better humans make better leaders
- The hidden cost of hypergrowth
- Can you remain healthy inside a toxic environment?
- Why self-awareness is a leadership skill
- What ”doing the work” actually means
- The role curiosity plays in personal growth
- How organizational chaos often begins with human behavior
- What AI makes even more important about being human
If you've ever questioned what success is asking of you, this conversation is for you.
