Which video should a founder watch before a pivot?
Start with Dalton Caldwell’s Y Combinator pivot talk and write down reasons to continue as well as change. Pair it with actual customer interviews before committing cash. All about pivoting — Y Combinator
What should I watch before customer discovery?
YC’s “How To Talk To Users” gives a practical interview framework. Use it to remove leading questions and capture what customers actually did. How To Talk To Users — Y Combinator
Is there a podcast on shutting down a startup?
Yes: Reboot’s Operator’s Manual #7 explicitly covers when to shut down a business and the founder’s difficulty with that choice. It is perspective, not a financial or legal decision mandate. Reboot podcast: When Should You Shut Down the Business?
Which episode helps me manage board disagreement?
Reboot’s #164 with Aileen Lee and Brad Feld discusses stable board behaviour and blind spots. It does not replace corporate-law advice. Reboot podcast: How To Be a Stable Board Member
Are the newest Reboot episodes about strategy?
The September and October 2026 catalogue includes leadership patterns and reflective themes rather than a pivot-finance tutorial. Use them as a complement to hard decision evidence. Reboot Podcast, episode catalogue
Have all episodes been independently transcribed here?
No. Summaries are limited to the publisher’s material and available descriptions, with that limitation disclosed.
Can I use media advice instead of an adviser?
For low-cost framing, often yes; implement only after checking company-specific facts, constraints and legal boundaries. Use a bounded external review for high-stakes unresolved uncertainty.
