Jerry Colonna is a leading executive coach who uses the skills he learned as a venture capitalist to help entrepreneurs.

  • What he means by, “the longing to belong”
  • How we can learn to “do our first works over”
  • The difference between equality and equity 
  • And his framing of, "content and container" to help guide good leadership
