Today, I'm joined by Jason Mendelson, retired partner of world renowned venture capital firm, Foundry Group, and current Executive-in-Residence with the Colorado Attorney General's Office. In addition to his many successes as a VC over 20 years, Jason is a startup founder, attorney, professor, author, and musician. He's also a lifelong learner, teacher, and incredible human being who spends so much time giving back to society.

In this episode, we discuss Jason's journey from a tough childhood growing up in Detroit with music as his outlet to becoming an attorney, entrepreneur, venture capitalist and all around creator. He shares his experiences from personal and professional challenging moments, the lessons learned, and the wisdom acquired. We talked about how it is to deal with the constant reminder of frustration and the role of education in the investment business. He spoke openly about his victories and defeats, the epiphany that would change his life at age 40, and his first love, music.
