Jonathan Reynolds: The Leadership Podcast for Startup Executives Who Are Burning Out

"You're not running a sprint, you're running a marathon." Jonathan Reynolds gets it — because he's spent years watching leaders burn themselves out trying to have all the answers. Jonathan is the founder and CEO of Mindful Work Inc., a San Francisco leadership development company built around one idea: the busiest, most "productive" version of you is usually the least effective one. He's also a licensed (though not currently practicing) therapist, which shows in how he talks about leadership — less org chart, more relationships. In this episode, Karl and Jonathan get into why the best leaders act more like orchestra conductors than star players, and why the "self-made" founder story is quietly wrecking companies from the inside. What you'll walk away with: Why starting absurdly small (one minute of meditation a day) builds habits that actually stick — and why big, dramatic changes usually don't The "conductor, not soloist" model of leadership, and why having all the answers is actually a liability, not a strength Why top performers quietly stop performing when they don't feel asked, valued, or included The real cost of building a company that can't run without you — and why that undermines its value, not just your sanity #StartupLeadership #LeadershipPodcast #SustainableBusinessGrowth #H2H #HumanConnectionPodcast === You can connect with Jonathan Reynolds here: COMPANY WEBSITE: https://mindfullifemindfulwork.com/ MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM: https://mindset-social.com/ PUBLIC EVENTS: https://mindfullifemindfulwork.eventb...
