Podcast appearances and mentions of Josh Reeves

Sun., June 7The Good That's All Around Uswith Josh ReevesIf the gift of Life is already made, then our part must be to accept, receive, believe in and use it.–Ernest HolmesReligious Science teaches that we are surrounded by an Infinite Good—a forever source of love, abundance, and well-being. This Good is ever available to each of us. But there's a catch: This Good can only be received through the quality and receptivity of our own consciousness.

Three friends. One closet. A company now valued at $10 billion, serving over 400,000 small businesses.Josh Reeves is the co-founder and CEO of Gusto, the payroll, benefits, and HR platform now valued at roughly $10 billion. But he didn't grow up dreaming of building HR software — nobody does. The son of two teachers who were the first in their families to go to college, Josh studied electrical engineering at Stanford during the dot-com collapse, when the conventional wisdom was that the internet was finished. He ignored it. After a stint as a product manager at Zazzle and a first startup he now describes as "stealth mode" — his polite way of saying he had no idea what he was doing — Josh walked away with the most important lesson of his career: never start a company just because your friends are.In 2011, he and two co-founders started Gusto to fix something genuinely broken. Payroll, benefits, and the systems that quietly reduce people to ID numbers and acronyms — especially in small businesses, where two-thirds of U.S. employers have fewer than five people and every hire is a real human being, not a line item. They set one rule: they wouldn't pay themselves until they could do it through their own product. They launched in December 2012 with 100 small businesses. One co-founder spent four months sleeping on an air mattress in a roommate's closet — it had a skylight, for the record, and the roommate's clothes were still hanging inside.Fourteen years later, Gusto has grown from three people in a Palo Alto house to over 3,000 employees ("Gusties") across Denver, San Francisco, New York, and Scottsdale — with no headquarters, by design. In this episode, Josh sits down with Jessica to unpack how he protected culture at scale, why he deliberately left revenue on the table to launch in all 50 states the right way, and the framework he uses to resist Silicon Valley's growth-at-all-costs gospel.You'll learn:- Why second-time founders have an edge — and why Josh had role, responsibility, and ownership conversations on day one- The weekly feedback walks the three founders started when they were just three people, and still do 14 years in: three things working, three things to improve- Why most systems treat people like transactions — and what changes when you build for the human moments instead- The values-and-motivation interview Gusto uses to hire for what makes someone tick, not just what's on their résumé- Why interviewing is a skill every leader should practice obsessively — and how the best interviewers dig past the first and second answer to what's really underneath- How to scale culture without freezing it: "we're not a museum" — what should persist, and what should always be allowed to change- The "no headquarters" home-base model, and why Josh personally interviewed Denver's first 10-15 hires to make it as important as San Francisco- Why "doing things that don't scale" early can build the momentum that scales later- Why he deliberately left revenue on the table to cover all 50 states comprehensively, instead of launching half-built- The three checks-and-balances Josh runs against growth: product quality and compliance accuracy, unit economics, and team retention- Why there are over 10,000 payroll rules in the U.S. — and why the business owner should never have to become the expert- How AI is a tailwind, not a threat — making Gusto more of a teammate and partner to the small business owner- Why work should be more than a paycheck: purpose, community, and impact, when the alignment is there- The thought experiment every founder should run before committing: the 10,000th time you describe your idea, will you still be excited?Whether you're starting a company, scaling one, or just trying to do work that means something, Josh's philosophy is the throughline — the one he repeats to his four kids and to every founder who'll listen:In our family, we do hard things.Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, now in the business of telling the truth about how work really works.

What if you have been hiring wrong this entire time?In this episode, Josh Reeves, Co-Founder and CEO of Gusto, a $10B people platform serving over 300,000 businesses, joins Alisa Cohn for one of the most practical and deeply human conversations about building teams that actually work.This is not a generic leadership talk. This is a masterclass in how to hire people who genuinely care, how to scale a values-driven culture without losing it, and how to lead through the kind of uncertainty that breaks most founders.Josh shares the three-part alignment framework Gusto uses at every level of hiring, why the skills conversation gets too much attention, how he fires himself from jobs as fast as possible, and what the Platinum Rule taught him about giving feedback that actually lands.You'll learn:Why values and motivation alignment matter more than skills in the startup hiring processHow to scale a hiring process so culture stays intact past 50, 150, and 2,500 employeesWhat the Platinum Rule is and why it will transform how you give feedbackThe difference between a builder and a manager (and why it matters enormously in a startup)How to recognize when a leader is in over their head before it costs you too muchWhy great talent sometimes fails at the wrong stage companyWhat Josh learned from a previous startup that shaped everything about how Gusto was builtThe one question to ask yourself before committing to any startup ideaWe talk about:00:00 Introduction to Josh Reeves and Gusto02:00 The founding story and what problem Gusto was built to solve08:00 The three-part hiring alignment framework: values, motivation, and skill17:00 How Gusto scaled their hiring culture to 2,500 employees19:00 How the CEO role evolved across 12 years24:00 Symptoms of a leader who is outpacing their role vs. one who came from too large a company29:00 The difference between builders and managers in a startup33:00 Situational leadership and why directive leadership is not the opposite of empowerment37:00 The Platinum Rule and how it changed the way Josh gives feedback48:00 Highs, lows, and leading through uncertainty as a founder59:00 The lesson from his previous startup that shaped everything about Gusto01:03:00 Final advice for founders: imagine describing your company for the 10,000th timeFollow Josh onLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuareeves/Website: https://gusto.com/ Connect with Alisa!Follow Alisa Cohn on Instagram: @alisacohnTwitter: @alisacohnFacebook: facebook.com/alisa.cohnLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisacohn/Website: http://www.alisacohn.comDownload her 5 scripts for delicate conversations (and 1 to make your life better) Grab a copy of From Start-Up to Grown-Up by Alisa Cohn from Amazon

Sun., Nov. 2Thoughts, Prayers, and ActionResponding To the Sorrows of the Worldwith Josh ReevesWhat is the best way to respond to the sorrows of the world—the wars, political violence, terrorism?

Perhaps we can call for action and know a deeper truth about Spirit's presence in all things?

Four-Week Sunday SeriesAdventure in FaithThis MomentMaking the Very Best From Every Right HereSun., Oct. 26Receive in This Momentwith Josh ReevesThere is nothing that isn't available to you that this moment cannot provide. How much we can identify, our founder Ernest Holmes tells us, is that much we can have. Our work in this moment is not to think of all that we want but to prepare ourselves for all that we may receive.

What keeps you from living fully in trust in this moment? It's often what isn't here and now that we don't trust is going to work out. This conflict, this challenge, this unfortunate possibility. It's not that these aren't worthy of attention, but when thinking about them, a choice—to act and trust or to procrastinate and distrust—must be made.

AIF Week One: Love in This Moment with Josh ReevesFour-Week Sunday SeriesAdventure in FaithThis MomentMaking the Very Best From Every Right HereSun., Oct. 5Love in This Momentwith Josh ReevesLove in idea and love in action are two different things. When we think about who and what we love, that is not the same as loving who and what we love. If you want a life full of love, you have to fill your life with love. As we love ourselves and our life with clarity, the love that is always there reveals itself in its majesty.

Sun., Sept. 21Not "Why?" but "Now What?"Seven Steps of Forgivenesswith Josh ReevesWhen something painful happens, people often say, “I'm sorry.” It's hard to explain how the pain doesn't stop—it keeps burning inside. What we truly need is help putting out the fire. Instead of asking why it started, the better question is how to put it out. Put out the fire by applying the seven steps of forgiveness.

Sun., Sept. 7Learning To Live; Learning To DieEmbracing the Fullness of Lifewith Josh ReevesLife and death are two realities that constantly fill our own existence. To reduce death to the process of dying is like reducing life to being born. Explore what spiritual teachers have taught about life and death.

Sun., July 13Entering the KingdomLiving in Spiritual Realitywith Josh ReevesWhat were Jesus's teachings about experiencing the kingdom of heaven, and what did he mean by that? Is the kingdom of heaven a place or a consciousness? Do we enter it through joining the right church or our inner work? Does it cost money to get in or does it require the willingness to give everything away?

Sun., July 6Spirit of IndependenceAmerica. Can You Hear Her?with Josh ReevesAmerica speaks through its elected leaders, armed service members, and incredible arts, but it speaks most emphatically through its people—incredible Americans who have shaped the role of spirituality, human rights, and possibility not only for Americans but for the world. America is always speaking. Can you hear her?

Sun., June 15A Place To StandCourage, Resilience, Responsibilitywith Josh ReevesYounger generations these days are fond of proclaiming, “Live your best life.” This sounds good, but what does it really mean? Does it mean do what makes you feel good no matter what, putting yourself first? Could it mean living life from a higher calling that is willing to make sacrifices of your personal good for the greater good of others? Living your best life is serving a cause greater than yourself and discovering who you really are in the serving.

We don't get this kind of self-awareness through vision boards or tarot cards but honest self-assessment and making clearer choices. It demands a mindful vulnerability that grows with greater self-awareness, boundaries, and forgiveness.
