When life upends our expectations, the space between what was and what's next—the neutral zone—can feel like wilderness. It's a time of uncertainty, discomfort, and profound possibility. Yet, how we navigate these transitions shapes not just the trajectory of our personal lives, but the culture and resilience of our organizations.

In this episode, Ray Foote joins fellow Reboot Coach Ali Schultz for a deep exploration of the Neutral Zone, drawing from William Bridges' classic framework on change and transition. Together, they reflect on their own experiences and share what it really means to metabolize transition at the organizational and human level.

When suffering surrounds us, personal, collective, and historical, how do we make meaning without being defined or hardened by pain? In this candid and compassionate conversation, Jerry Colonna invites his teacher and dear friend, Sharon Salzberg, to explore "the end of suffering" and the transformative power of wise hope, compassion, and agency, especially in turbulent times.

Rooted in Buddhist wisdom but accessible to all, Jerry Colonna and Sharon Salzberg discuss what it means to relate differently to suffering, without denying its presence or being overtaken by it. Together, they reflect on the paradox of holding both pain and joy, and the importance of not confusing suffering with punishment or personal failure.

One gentle exhale before the blank page of a new year unfolds. Take a moment to settle, reflect, and set intentions with this guided meditation recorded by Reboot Coach Marty Janowitz. You may find this centering practice valuable as you reflect on all that has happened in the past year and set intentions for the year to come.

At Reboot, we often use meditation to sit with thoughts, feelings, and other parts of our experience that we so seldom make time for in our busy work lives. Find a quiet place to spend some time surfacing and working through whatever issue is present.

What is lost when technology tries to imitate human care? On this episode of The Reboot Podcast, Jerry Colonna sits down with Dr. Judson Brewer, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author, to explore the hidden risks and surprising possibilities of AI-powered therapy. Together, they reflect on Dr. Brewer's essay, "The Hidden Danger of AI Therapy," and discuss how chatbots, designed to please rather than challenge us, can subtly reinforce self-centered thinking and undermine real healing.

At the heart of entrepreneurship lies not just innovation and ambition, but a deeper journey of self-discovery, resilience, and embracing our most authentic selves. Entrepreneurship, often glamorized for its successes, can just as easily lead us into the depths of uncertainty, loneliness, and self-doubt. Yet, as we face these challenges with open hearts, we discover the possibility for profound transformation—both in our work and in ourselves.

In this episode, we welcome Melissa Bernstein, entrepreneur, creator, and co-founder of Melissa & Doug. With candor and warmth, Melissa shares insights from her latest book, The Heart of Entrepreneurship, reflecting on her lifelong dance between creativity and perfectionism, passion and patience, success and existential struggle. Together, Jerry and Melissa unpack what it means to persevere through the "rollercoaster" of building something meaningful, the importance of embracing imperfection, and the healing power of making our inner journeys visible.

In this powerful episode of The Reboot Podcast, Jerry sits down with Shaka Senghor, author, mentor, and leading voice in criminal justice reform, for a tender conversation about transformation, freedom, and what it truly means to be redeemed.

Together, Jerry and Shaka explore what it actually means to be free. They discuss how the deepest forms of imprisonment are not always physical, but are instead forged in our minds—made of grief, shame, anger, and old stories. Shaka shares how his path of healing, reading, and a practice of gratitude helped him reimagine his life, and how his writing became both a discipline of self-emancipation.

Shaka reflects on the obstacles he continues to face as a returning citizen, and the quiet oppressions that persist even after release. Yet, through gratitude, storytelling, and mentorship, he lights a way forward; not just for himself, but for all who seek to break the cycles of suffering and step more fully into their lives.

Influence is a force that weaves its way through every layer of our organizations and lives. Yet its true essence, what gives it power and meaning, often lies beneath the surface, quietly shaping outcomes not through authority or force, but through trust, connection, and presence.

In this episode, Ali Schultz sits down with fellow Coach Courtney Joyce for a deep and candid conversation about what it means to influence others, whether you're early in your career, leading cross-functional teams, or navigating challenges as an executive. Together, they explore how true influence is more akin to building bridges than issuing commands; it's about leveraging credibility, reliability, and, perhaps most crucially, vulnerability.

From understanding the unwritten rules of your organization to building genuine relationships and balancing assertiveness with warmth, this conversation traces the inner work required for authentic influence.
