I have enjoyed my Imperfectly Honest experience more than I can express. But lately I have been feeling a pull to create something on my own. Something that may more strongly reflect my personal passions, interests, and all those decades of interesting, weird, and wonderful experiences.

My friend, investor, and longtime mentor, Brad Feld, recently released his new book: Give First, the Power of Mentorship. Give First means simply trying to help anyone, especially entrepreneurs, without expecting financial compensation or anything specific in return.
