@minal_hasan We released a dozen episodes on the topic earlier this year and have a new series we’re excited about coming very soon 😊
It’s hard to pick one but check out our episode with @bfeld that addresses several of those points: https://t.co/OcHIOqVbqc

Feedback or topic ideas welcome!

🚨🚨🚨New podcast episode 🚨🚨🚨

This week we had a chat with @bwertz from @VersionOneVC & discussed his journey as a founder, how founders can work with their Board to manage a successful exit, and how blockchain & DeFi could change corporate governance as we know it.

Enjoy!

I guess there’s still a lot to change at the Board level 😅

One of the biggest challenges for Board of Directors today is diversity. The second part of our discussion with @KateDMitchell focuses on diversity and inclusion, and why the pipeline issue is not an excuse. Give it a listen!

“If you are absent (...) when there is a crisis, and you could have done something, people are relatively unforgiving of those that sat on their hands during a tough moment.” - Wharton Prof. @mikeuse on businesses needing to lead #coronavirus recovery. https://t.co/8aha1QWh4p

@bfeld often advises founders to share a ”User guide for me” with their Board. When someone’s new, tell her the best way to work with you. What you like, how you work, what motivates you. Make it comprehensive, layout expectations for the most seemingly trivial things.

@bznotes Do you think he’d be down to be on our show? 😁

[Boards Network @boardsnetwork]

Why build a Board early?

The Board supports the CEO; early Boards focus on *working* not reporting

It sets a rhythm, accountability cycle & fwd looking convo about where the business needs to go; if you get a Board late you need to change the cadence of what you do in many ways

[Brad Feld @bfeld]

The @boardsnetwork just released an interview where I share stories about boards I've served on along with insights I've learned along the way w/ @justinehuang34 and @philippenyssen https://t.co/eqr5Chbixn

[philippe @philippenyssen]

One of our best episodes so far for sure! Are you on startup boards? Then this one is a must for you.

@bfeld was on our dream guest list from day 1, and @justinehuang34 and I never thought he would accept to be on the show right away.

Inspiring generosity and kindness 😌

[Boards Network @boardsnetwork]

What was @bfeld's experience as a board member of successful companies?

What is a "board orientation package"?

What are the "emotional priorities" of a board?

If you are curious about startup boards, this episode is a must listen!
