The Reboot Podcast has hosted a wide variety of conversations around the complexity and diversity of the co-founder experience, such as the importance of communication, the power of mindfulness in partnerships, and shared our advice for navigating co-founder conflict. Co-founders looking to meet the day-to-day challenges of running a business must commit to consistent work in aligning their vision and purpose for the organization, but what happens when an unforeseen tragedy throws all your preparation out the door?

In this episode, Nitin Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO of Interstride, describes the loneliness and pathlessness he experienced in the wake of the sudden death of his dear friend and fellow co-founder, Christian. Nitin details the experience and soul searching it took to rediscover his purpose and recounts how his journey through grief restored confidence in his own ability to lead. Jerry and Nitin explore what it means to manage the heartbreak of the every day and share advice for finding the strength to land on your feet when your foundation gets shaken to its core.

#151 - The Heartbreak of Every Day - with Nitin Agrawal & Jerry Colonna

This unedited conversation with Esther Sternberg comes from our produced show "Esther Sternberg on the Balance Within."

The American experience of stress has spawned a multi-billion dollar self-help industry. Wary of this, Esther Sternberg says that, until recently, modern science did not have the tools or the inclination to take emotional stress seriously. She shares fascinating new scientific insight into the molecular level of the mind-body connection.

[Unedited] Esther Sternberg with Krista Tippett

Amir Salihefendic, the founder and CEO of Doist, is the creator of the powerful and popular productivity tool, Todoist (which is awesome). He comes to Jerry feeling torn between two seemingly different directions for his business.  On one side, he feels the ambition to do big, world changing things and to be on every smartphone and desktop.  But on the other side, as the son of entrepreneurial parents who owned a grocery store, he knows how important it is to just keep the business alive and take care of yourself and your family (and to be grateful for that) - to not put your family, your health, yourself at risk. The ambitious path with burnout or the steady, safe path with possible regrets? He has wrestled with this as something he must decide, but what if there isn't a choice? Or what if there is a 3rd option he’s not seeing? 

Jerry and Amir explore this apparent conflict, talk about his upbringing and his family’s escape from the war in Bosnia when he was young, and in this exploration they uncover a new path forward for Amir and the business, one of integration.
