#436: In this episode, Mike Gardon chats with Rebekah Bastian. Rebekah is a creator. She's created a startup, a tech movement, a book, multiple written, visual and aerial art pieces, and two humans. She is the CEO & co-founder of OwnTrail and was previously vice president of product and vice president of community and culture at Zillow. Rebekah is the author of the award-winning book Blaze Your Own Trail, a board member of JPEG Morgan and Bellwether Housing, a contributor to Forbes and an investor and advisor to AuthenTech and Web3 companies.

OwnTrail is a social platform that helps people visualize and achieve their next milestone in life and work through offering tools and community that fuel a more authentic definition of success. Kt McBratney is co-founder and chief community officer of OwnTrail, founded in 2020 (just three weeks before the pandemic hit). After meeting her co-founder Rebekah Bastian in Seattle she moved across the country to a new home, sight-unseen, and now lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Before that she's been a chief marketing officer, a brand marketer, production director, worked at a zoo, and in higher education (all while secretly wearing a superhero t-shirt under her business suit). Kt seeks to “disrupt the status-bro” by helping people reclaim their stories and loves building strong, inclusive communities. “The status-bro tricks us into focusing on a mythical one ‘right' path through life, instead of focusing on OUR path. It makes us feel like we're only as good as our resumes and social media.” In this episode we explore being authentic to yourself and why LinkedIn is great for job-hunting but not really great at helping you figure out what you really want to do. We talk about the rising feminine, burnout, frogs, pagers (143 anyone?), and the power of help-beacons; how OwnTrail is designed to be a totally different kind of social platform. Kt explains finding themselves fascinated by people who do many things… people she calls “ANDs.” We also talk about the crucial importance of play (Spoiler alert: the job is never done!) and why Steve is a Mokey sun with a Janice moon and a Scooter rising. There was one social media quote that I couldn't find for the episode that I think sums everything up perfectly: “Be a Kermit the Frog. Have a creative vision and no ego. Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos. Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.” – Richard R.

We're all on our own paths in life, and sometimes, despite our best efforts, those paths can seem to twist and turn of their own volition. From uncontrollable factors like your birthplace, your family and your early years to the little decisions we make every day, there are an infinite number of different ways to go in life – and yet, still, many women find themselves boxed into one of a few well-trodden paths. Look closer still, and you'll find that many of those paths can be traced all the way back to the same practices society has been enforcing on us for hundreds – if not thousands – of years. The big question, now, is how can we find the courage to step off the path we've been told to walk and find the one that fits us better – and the answer can be found in the hard-won wisdom of Rebekah Bastian. Rebekah is the CEO and founder of Own Trail – a company dedicated to helping women find, share and celebrate their unique journeys through life. She's also an award winning writer, an artist, a tech executive mentor, a mother and an aerial acrobat. Own Trail is, in essence, part of the antidote to the tired Western way of life that insists five days on, two days off is still the best way – or even the only way – to live and work. Instead, Rebekah embraces big ideas and vision, discussions led by values, and, on occasion, well deserved time out from the busy work of the brain. In this episode of the She Burns podcast, Rebekah shares a host of fascinating insights into her very own “Own Trail”, the steps she has taken to build a company culture that deviates from the hustle, the virtues of the four-day work week, and much more. So what's this episode really about? The importance of having big ideas and visionThe value in building a value-driven company guided by the same “north star” Why every start-up founder needs a community of fellow entrepreneurs What “living your purpose” really looks like The truth about the myth of a “clean, linear path” Why you should listen They say comparison is the thief of joy, and if you've ever had yours unwittingly stolen by another woman – whether it's on social media, in the workplace or in your social circle – this episode (and the OwnTrail platform) is for you. LinksOwn Trail SheShatters You can quote me on that…“We often don't see people who look like us in the places we aspire to. [We go] through these motions of thinking we're supposed to know exactly where we're going and how we're going to get there, and feeling like we get it wrong because we don't see what other people's real journeys look like. Thinking about the power of what it looks like to navigate your career, but as a whole human and really fitting work into your life as opposed to your life into your work – in a way, that can open up a lot more possibilities.” - Rebekah Bastian “I feel like we're at a pivotal point in our universe in our lives – especially as women and men in our mid-40s and -50s, however old we are – where we're wanting something and yearning for something different and something more. It's about figuring out how to align our inner purpose with the work that we're doing to make the world a different place – a better place.” - Hannah AustinLike what you hear?

Rebekah Bastian, the Co-Founder and CEO of OwnTrail, started off her professional life with a mechanical engineering degree because she wanted to be an inventor. She ended up realizing it wasn't what she expected, and later got a job with Microsoft as a program manager. After about three years there, she sought something different from a large, corporate environment. That's how she ended up at a new startup called Zillow, where she worked for the next 15 years, essentially touching every part of the company. Rebekah then wrote a book, which ended up becoming an entire startup—and she left her career to pursue it. Connect with RebekahTwitter: https://twitter.com/rebekah_bastianInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebekah.bastianLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekahbastianExplore OwnTrail Website: https://owntrail.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/OwnTrailInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/owntrailLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/owntrailNonlinear is presented by Teal and hosted by our Founder & CEO, Dave Fano.
