Published: Oct. 21, 2018, 12:27 p.m.

b'In this episode we speak with Roei Deutch, Co-founder and CEO of Jolt, a startup that\\u2019s a school for employees craving to learn and grow in the new employment world. Jolt has campuses in Tel Aviv and soon in London - following a new 7.5 million USD round of investment that was made public a few days after our interview. \\n\\nListen on RealLifeSuperPowers website: https://reallifesuperpowers.com/podcast/yariv-bash-flytrex-2/\\n\\nStudying in Jolt is done via a \\u201cgym membership for learning\\u201d model whereby people can take as many classes as they want. The school attempts to break the traditional paradigms of higher education. Breaking paradigms is evident in everything Roei is involved in. When Roei has a vision he paves his own path - inventing self tailored methodologies that will get him and his teams to where they want to be. Pushing forward originally in a world of what he likes to call \\u201cmade up jobs\\u201d. \\n\\nHe started his career early, at the age of 14 he founded his first company, which he sold a year later. He has been listed in the prestigious Forbes under 30, founded several successful companies and has already published 3 books. \\n\\nRoei believes that people connect through vulnerability, so he makes sure to present his real self rather than his \\u05f4best\\u05f4 self. In this episode he genuinely took us inside his world, setting forth his unique innovative way of thinking that is an inseparable part of his impressive track record of success. \\n\\nHe is always asking himself reflective, non compromising questions, and then deciding on his short and long term actions based on the answers to those questions. For example, before starting Jolt he took time to ask himself what type of CEO he wants to be. This type of action structuring is something everyone can apply in their daily doing. \\n\\nAmong other things we spoke about his ideology of extreme transparency in leadership. We asked him if he\\u2019s not afraid employees will walk away if you\\u2019re transparent with them when things get rough, his answer was: \\n\\n\\u201cPeople respect what they helped build. When someone has been part of the journey when it was rough and when it was good - when shit hits the fan, they\\u2019re actually more committed and more accountable. People are good - they don\\u2019t walk away from danger if they feel they were part of creating that danger\\u201d. \\n\\nWe also discuss:\\n\\n- how he structured his company culture based on core traits all people on board have to posses and how to uncover such traits when recruiting\\n- all about his invented employment model of 2 year \\u201cchapterships\\u201d\\n- how his greatest fears drive him\\n- how he comes up with ideas \\n- his approach towards fundraising \\n- the \\u201cairport test\\u201d\\n- ..much much more\\n\\nWe hope you enjoy your listen\\n\\nZooming out, if you like listening to this podcast, make sure to subscribe so you don\\u2019t miss new conversations with peak performers, serving as a reminder we can all tap into the best versions of ourselves.\\n\\nYou\\u2019re also welcome to follow Ronen and Noa on Linkedin\\n\\u2022\\tRonen Menipaz on Linkedin\\n\\u2022\\tNoa Eshed on Linkedin \\n\\nAnd if we may ask for a favor - please leave us a review on your native podcast app.\\n\\nSome further resources:\\n\\u2022\\tReal Life Superpowers podcast on Ctech\\n\\u2022\\tThe podcast website'
