The Robin Zander Show is a podcast about growth and vulnerability.

Robin Zander has spent more than 20 years tackling things he doesn’t know how to do - yet. From starting a restaurant in just three weeks without any prior restaurant experience to performing as a self-taught acrobat with the San Francisco Opera, Robin has built his life and career around learning.

But growth isn’t all upside, and tackling new things comes with plenty of failures.

Through the Robin Zander Show, Robin sits down with best-selling authors, CEOs, elite performers, and other domain experts, to talk about learning - but more importantly about the fear, uncertainty, and vulnerability that comes with learning new things.

    Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Learning to Row with Eden Full Goh

    Hello and welcome back to The Robin Zander Show! 
    For this week’s episode, I sat down with Eden Full Goh, the founder & CEO of Mobot. 
    Eden founded Mobot, a physical testing infrastructure in the cloud after her experience as a Product Manager. She noticed how challenging it was to do regression testing on mobile apps and created Mobot as the solution. 
    In this episode, we take a deep dive into her experience learning how to Coxswain (leading a team of rowers) and how that ties into entrepreneurship. We also talk about the companies she built leading up to Mobot and her experience as a Thiel Fellow. 
    It was a pleasure sitting down to chat. I hope you enjoy this spirited and comprehensive conversation!

    Exploring Coaching and Leadership with Katie Stricker, Co-Founder at Sayge.

    Hello and welcome back to The Robin Zander Show!
    For this week’s episode, I sat down with my longtime colleague and friend, Katie Stricker. Katie is the Co-Founder, President, and Chief Coaching Officer at Sayge, a tech-enabled service that provides companies with accessible coaching services. Having worked with a coach for 14 years, Katie knew the importance of coaching and seldom saw it offered beyond C-Suite employees. Sayge has been around for over 6 years and coaches people in all positions, from CEO to Administrative Assistant. We sat down to talk about her history with coaching, what it takes to run a thriving organization, and the transition from Co-Founder to Leader.
    It was a joy to sit down with Katie and learn more about her story and Sayge. Enjoy!
