    *Jerry Colonna* is a world-renowned executive coach, a former venture capitalist, and the co-founder and CEO of Reboot, an executive coaching firm that combines practical leadership development with deeper self-inquiry. With over 27 years of coaching experience, he has guided countless leaders through the challenges of scaling companies, building teams, and navigating the emotional complexities of leadership. Known for his radical-self-inquiry approach, Jerry helps leaders uncover the unconscious patterns that hold them back and empowers them to lead with authenticity, compassion, and clarity.

    *In our conversation, we cover:*
    1. A powerful question that unlocks self-awareness: “How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don’t want?”
    2. Jerry’s foundational equation for leadership success: practical skills + radical self-inquiry + shared experiences = enhanced leadership and resilience
    3. Why teams most often fail (hint: it’s not lack of talent or strategy)
    4. How busyness often masks deeper issues of self-worth
    5. Why a “growth mindset” can be problematic
    6. The importance of legacy and what it means to live a meaningful life
    7. The role of AI in self-inquiry and how tools like ChatGPT can help uncover blind spots
    8. Jerry’s advice for navigating the unsettling rise of AI and its implications for leadership and humanity
