Jerry Colonna calls himself a “first-responder to suffering.”
It is a unique way of approaching service to leaders as he is addressing the full experience of leadership.
Our conversation is a first for The Eddy Network Podcast.
Jerry Colonna
CEO at Reboot.io
Reboot.io
I am an executive coach, the CEO of Reboot.io, and the author of Reboot: Leadership and the Art of Growing Up and Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. I've had the privilege of being a thought leader in the executive coaching and leadership space, with my work featured in Inc., The Wall Street Journal, and Harvard Business Review.
I’ve shared my insights as a guest on various podcasts and TV programs, and I’m an enthusiastic public speaker—though I’ve been known to present with my shoes off. Raised in Brooklyn as the grandson of Italian and Irish immigrants, my roots run deep, shaping the personal stories woven throughout my books and work.
I believe that better humans make better leaders. Through radical self-inquiry, I help people confront their challenges with courage and compassion, transforming not only how they lead but how they show up in the world. When we see ourselves in others—when we recognize our shared struggles, hopes, and humanity—we move closer together. And in that connection, real leadership is born.
Because of the work I do, I consider myself the luckiest person in the world.

I always love to hear what Jerry Colonna has to say. I'm sure Ed Brenegar pulled the best out of him too!
