When David Gardner moved to Chicago about six years ago, he was a stranger to the city and had few connections. What’s more, his digital tech agency ColorJar was just beginning to take shape. Thanks to his genuine passion for meeting new people and sharing new ideas, David built and cultivated a fruitful network that launched his company in a big way. In today’s episode, he discusses why focusing on the success of others will lead to meaningful and mutually valuable relationships.
