VIP IGNITE Presents Finding Fame: The Insiders Guide to the Entertainment Ind...Michael Fomkin
This document provides advice for breaking into the entertainment industry. It emphasizes that having talent alone is not enough - one must also have strong work ethic and passion. Building relationships within the industry is key, but newcomers often lack connections. The author's company helps connect new talent with industry professionals through exclusive events. Success requires persistence as a career is built over many years, not overnight. Haters will criticize, so focus on self-improvement rather than negative comments.
The document discusses an episode of The Entrepreneur's Radio Show featuring guest Brandon Schaefer. Brandon is a successful entrepreneur and business growth expert who runs the website 90DayEntrepreneur.com to help struggling entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Travis and Brandon discuss Brandon's background and journey to success in business. Brandon emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with family, successful people, and healthy activities to achieve your full potential as an entrepreneur.
Reboot Podcast #04 - The hidden burdens in our work – with Jerry Colonna, She...rebootio
How can you save a business from the brink of bankruptcy and grow it 2,000% in 10 years, and yet feel like it could all go away in any given moment? Or face the fear, the weight, that you must be chief breadwinner...for you, your family, your co-founder and team’s family as well? Fear is pervasive in our lives, and in the crazy world of startups and entrepreneurship it is an always present participant.

The document discusses an episode of The Entrepreneur's Radio Show. The guest is John Michael Morgan, a successful entrepreneur and speaker. Travis and John discuss John's journey from struggling real estate agent to top agent in his area through focusing on personal development and branding.

Reboot Podcast #23 - With a Little More Care… with Sherman Lee and Jerry Colonnarebootio
Sometimes we spend so much time looking at where we aren’t or where others have gone that we don’t fully appreciate where we are and how much we’ve grown on the journey.
A year ago today, Reboot didn’t have a podcast. A year ago today, Sherman Lee was staring down a draining bank account, a shaky business model, and a crippling fear: if I fail, I won’t be able to provide. A year later we sit with our 23rd podcast episode, a return visit from Sherman one of our first guests, and an opportunity to appreciate Sherman’s journey and growth since we last spoke.
Reboot Podcast #10 - Fail with Honor - with Derek Bereit, Beth McKeon, & Jer...rebootio
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
― Thomas A. Edison
Most startups fail. We all know this as much as we try to forget it. The absolute hardest, hardest question an entrepreneur can ask themselves is: When do you know it’s over?
In the first of two conversations in this episode, we are joined by Derek Bereit, CEO and Co-Founder of Symptomly, who is staring down the end of his runway and wrestling with this very question.
In a second conversation we hear from Beth McKeon, Founder and CEO of Kids Calendar, who is dealing with another common challenge: How do you find, recruit and hire the right person for your startup at the stage that it’s in?
As always we’d love to hear feedback from you either on our website or on twitter @reboothq. Now on with to the conversations.
Michael describes his early experiences in network marketing beginning in the 1980s. He joined his first company, Herbalife, after seeing an advertisement at age 19. A few years later in 1984, he got involved with Amway after listening to an audiotape. He struggled to succeed and felt the culture was not a good fit. In the late 1980s, he had some initial success with a Japanese skin care company called Noevir by building a team with his wife but continued to have challenges with duplication. He later joined TPN under strict guidelines from the editor of Upline magazine not to leverage his role there. This experience taught him to build his business solely through cold market prospecting. Michael believes the industry's biggest
Reboot Podcast #7 - The Relationship between Depression and Entrepreneurship?...rebootio
After years of rapid growth and expansion, followed by a serious year of depression, Rand Fishkin, founder and former CEO of Moz, found himself in a room surrounded by VC backed CEO’s and entrepreneurs where the question was posed: “How many of you struggle seriously with depression or severe anxiety or emotional issues?” He watched almost every person raise their hand. It’s shocking how universal depression is in startups. For anyone struggling with depression, it’s helpful to know you’re not alone. In this podcast, which is slightly different than past episodes, Jerry converses with Rand about his experience - his “loop,” how shame and guilt are at times his driver, the importance of understanding one’s emotional state, and how he’s made progress in coming out of his own depression, including his one piece of advice for entrepreneurs or anyone dealing with their own depression.
The document introduces the Blueprint of WE process created by Zelle Nelson and Maureen McCarthy to build healthy relationships. They discuss how their own relationship began unexpectedly but with an agreement to prioritize maintaining a good relationship. This led them to create a collaborative process focused on open communication and understanding each partner's needs, especially during difficult times, rather than just addressing conflicts.
Reboot Podcast #19 Building a House of Belonging with Tanisha Robinsonrebootio
What’s it like to find your path of authentic service in the world? What if you could use the pain of the past, a pain of not knowing where you fit in, of not knowing where you belong to propel you toward work that makes a difference? What if you could create a place of belonging? Well, it might look a lot like what Tanisha Robinson is building with Print Syndicate.
Started just 2.5 years ago with 8 people, Print Syndicate now has over 140 employees and will generate more than $20M in revenue this year. But the company isn’t just about shirts and home goods, it’s a place where people (including a black, gay, woman from a Mormon family of 7 in a small town in Missouri) have a place to self-identify and a place to belong. As Tanisha shares, running a company fueled by your passion to make the world better is both exhilarating and heartwrenching.
Reboot Podcast #9 - Investing in Trust - with Fred Wilson and Jerry Colonnarebootio
Fred Wilson barely needs an introduction for his role and impact in the startup community both as blogger and co-founder of Union Square Ventures. Fred’s also a big reason why I’m here giving this intro: his blog ultimately led me to meeting and now working with Jerry; and his family podcast, Positively 10th Street, was one of the first podcasts I ever listened to. Feels like things have come full circle.
So I’m thrilled to have Fred join Jerry for this episode. In 19 years of friendship and partnership in the startup world, these two have seen just about everything. In this conversation they share some stories from the Flatiron Partnership days, what makes a perfect board, the importance of trust in investing, and what makes a good leader. They even discuss the sheer terror they felt on their own entrepreneurial journey. There’s a lot of great material referenced in this discussion, so we’ve gone ahead and compiled a bunch of links from this show on our podcast page at reboot.io/podcast.
In what we hope will be a series of several, enjoy this first Reboot conversation with Fred Wilson and Jerry Colonna.
To have a firm persuasion, to set out boldly in our work, is to make a pilgrimage of our labors, to understand that the consummation of work lies not only in what we have done but who we become while accomplishing the task.
-David Whyte - Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity
In today’s conversation Jerry is joined by Ben Rubin - Cofounder and CEO of Change Collective - an organization itself that is set on helping people make positive change in their lives. Ben comes to Jerry wondering how he can better deal with the negative inner dialogue. They quickly discover that inner voice, and more specifically the feelings that precede it, are a powerful indicator of an underlying fear. What opportunities exist in exploring that fear?
This document discusses an episode of The Entrepreneur's Radio Show that features guest Jeffrey Zurofsky. Jeffrey started his career as a chef and worked in restaurants in New York City. He eventually became an entrepreneur and partnered with chef Tom Colicchio to open the first location of a sandwich shop called Wichcraft. They have since expanded to 17 locations across the US with nearly 400 employees. Jeffrey discusses how he married his experience as a chef with business acumen, often reaching out to his network for advice when facing challenges outside his expertise. He also explains how being a chef requires both creative and process-oriented thinking to efficiently produce large volumes of quality food.
Reboot Podcast #25 - Live Beyond Compare - Brad Feld and Jerry Colonna - Rebo...rebootio
It’s so easy, sometimes fun, sometimes painful, and always tempting to compare ourselves to others. As entrepreneurs, the temptation is even stronger. It can at times seem like there’s an endless supply of compare yourself material - from the media, to social media. Ask any Reboot coach...one of the busiest days as a coach is the day a big acquisition or funding announcement occurs. The second busiest is the day after. So what would it be like to let go? What if you stopped trying to be a VC / entrepreneur / father like everyone else? What if you were just you and that was OK?
That is exactly the advice our podcast guest offered up to a 34 year old Jerry Colonna - many, many years ago. We’re truly honored to have Brad Feld on the podcast with Jerry today. Brad is an investor, entrepreneur, and blogger who has been supporting entrepreneurs all over the world since 1987. Brad has also been a great Reboot supporter and teacher. In this conversation these two friends talk about VC’s as Dungeons and Dragons characters, Brad’s evolved investment criteria, and the single best piece of advice Brad offered to Jerry that changed his career.
In this first episode of The Power Of Bold podcast, Adam Pascarella shares some case studies and strategies on how you can break out of a career slump or rut. To listen to the episode, please click one of the links below:

Reboot Podcast #05 - How Do You Define Success? With Jerry Colonna and Joseph...rebootio
Joseph Chura is the founder and CEO of 2 startups that employ nearly a combined 100 people, yet he feels a constant drive for more. In this conversation with Jerry, Joseph shares his struggles to be present, especially at home with his wife and kids. Why is the drive, the itch to not sit still, so strong? What’s he running towards? Or perhaps running from?
Joseph and Jerry explore why he feels compelled to run, take a look at how & what Joseph is using to define success and why mindfulness is about so much more than meditation...it’s about expanding the space between stimulus and response.
Reboot Podcast #14 - Shadow and Leadership - with Parker Palmer and Jerry Col...rebootio
This document discusses the concept of shadow in leadership. Parker Palmer defines shadow as the unconscious parts of ourselves that we are not aware of but have power over us. Rather than trying to get rid of the shadow, the goal should be bringing it into consciousness so it no longer has unconscious power. Leaders need to examine their inner selves and acknowledge their shadows as well as lights to achieve wholeness. Failing to confront one's shadow risks allowing it to negatively shape one's leadership and organization. The reward of this inner work is feeling more whole and at home with oneself.
Reboot Podcast #20 with Bijan Sabet - Investors are Human toorebootio
It sounds so obvious, perhaps even tongue in cheek, but it also seems to be forgotten enough that it needs to be said aloud again: Investors are human too. They, like the entrepreneurs they back, can ride the rollercoaster of emotions that often come with starting a company. In this episode Jerry Colonna is joined by Bijan Sabet of Spark Capital and they explore some of the tensions that often arise between investors and entrepreneurs, the emotional perspective of the investor, and the importance of purpose and artistry. As a bonus, it includes Jerry reading a blessing at the end.
Samantha took a strengths assessment test which identified her top 5 strengths as Strategic, Ideation, Positivity, Maximizer, and Adaptability. She met with an advisor, Kim, to learn more about her strengths and how they apply to her. Samantha realized her strengths align with her preference for creative problem solving, coming up with new ideas, having a positive attitude, and adapting to changes. She used this self-knowledge to change her career goal to family and child development to better suit how she learns and finds meaning and happiness.
This document is the manifesto of Jon Orana, who shares his experience of feeling trapped in corporate jobs and pursuing entrepreneurship instead. After graduating, Jon took web design and programming jobs but grew restless with the limited income and opportunities. He started a side business doing freelance work. Years later, he quit his job to focus full-time on his consulting business, but lost money and accumulated debt, having to take retail jobs. He then developed a "Safe Escape Plan" for a low-risk transition to entrepreneurship through a part-time business. Gradually making $5,000/month, he scaled it up and was making over $10,000/month while still employed. He then quit to focus
