It's in the title of a book: "Cultura do Vai que dá em gente que Bota pra fazer". The book is mentioned within a short biography (though I found no reference to it online). I have to give an idea of the meaning in the most inspiring way (that's what the client asked for!)
Thank you for your help!

I believe you could use either "culture" or "attitude" in the translation.
See these examples:

Can-do (culture)
In context, can-do works better with the word culture, and is a commonly used term. A quick search on Google will show you the same.

Can-do
You can say "Can-do culture/attitude" for this context:

português term (edited):
Cultura do vai que dá
Have-at-it culture
I think this goes well as a lead into "gente que Bota pra fazer."
