Many CEO's parachute in to reboot companies, but today’s guest has had to do it dozens of times. Founded by his father in a Red Barn in Waterloo Wisconsin, John Burke, President and CEO of Trek Bicycle, has been rebooting the company since he started working there as a teenager.

Listen in and learn how his honest and blunt approaches to life have helped him reboot the company—and himself—with a focus on products and customers. Great stories here, like responding to good and bad decisions with big and small reboots to stay competitive, lessons learned from his Dad—and the need for civic minded people who can “drain the swamp” and fix our broken political ecosystems.
