Give First: Shifting to an Abundance Mindset in IT with Venture Capital Legend Brad Feld

In this installment of Make Work Happen, we're joined by Brad Feld, partner at Foundry Group, to dive into the powerful "Give First" philosophy that has shaped the Boulder startup community for decades. Brad discusses his career, from starting his first company 40 years ago to co-founding Foundry Group and Techstars. We explore how core values, or cultural norms, like non-transactional, positive-sum, multi-turn relationships, can define the success of a business or a community. For IT leaders facing high-pressure, thankless jobs, Brad offers practical advice on adopting a non-cynical, abundance mindset to solve problems, absorb pain, and ultimately build stronger, more appreciative relationships with end-users and colleagues.
