Hello boys and girls ladies and germs this is Tim Ferris welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferris show where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to interview them and tease out the habits for teens, favorite books and so on that you can apply to your own lives.

Sometimes I get not just a two for one, but a hundred for one when I interview someone

who also helps world-class performers, in addition to being such themselves to get past sticking

points to redefine themselves to reinvent themselves to chart new paths

forward and my guest today Jerry Colona is such a person.

He is the CEO and co-founder of reboot.io

an executive coaching and leadership development firm dedicated to the notion

that better humans make better leaders.

But prior to that, he was an operator in many different ways.

Prior to being a coach, he was a partner with J.P. Morgan Partners, the private equity arm of

J.P. Morgan Chase. He also led New York City-based Flat Iron partners, which he founded in 1996 with

partner Fred Wilson. Flat Iron went on to become one of the nation's most successful

early-stage investment programs at age 25

he was editor-in-chief of information week magazine he's written a bunch of

books we'll mention them at the end of the conversation but one is

reboot the other is a, both highly recommended.

You can find his company, reboot at reboot.io

and Jerry on Twitter and Instagram

at Jerry Colonna, coelonna.

And he has been on the podcast twice before. He is a fan favorite. People always take a ton

away from our conversations and I recap some of my favorite aspects of those in this episode and we cover a lot of ground.

There are a lot of stories I've never heard.
