Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People
What does it really mean to give without keeping score? Brad Feld has built a career by answering that question differently than almost anyone in venture capital.
In this episode of Remarkable People, Guy Kawasaki sits down with Brad to unpack the philosophy behind his new book Give First, a mindset that has shaped startup communities, mentorship culture, and long-term trust across the tech world. Brad explains why generosity isn’t naïve, why mentorship works best when it becomes a peer relationship, and how founders can build enduring success without transactional thinking.
This conversation challenges many of Silicon Valley’s most sacred assumptions—and replaces them with something more human.
