“I say I don't want to feel busy all the time, but the truth of the matter is I feel really unnerved and disconcerted if my agenda isn't jam-packed.”- Jerry Colonna
The Story Behind This Song
Jerry Colonna spent 15-17 years as a VC — co-founding Flatiron Partners with Fred Wilson — before a personal crisis in his late 30s led him to become one of the most respected executive coaches in tech. His signature question, 'How have I been complicit?', has become a mantra in startup culture. On Lenny's podcast, he turned the lens on Lenny himself in real time, exposing how busyness is a mechanism to quiet imposter syndrome.
