    Mentorship - S1E5

    When's the last time you got a good piece of advice? It could have been from your mom. Your best friend. A coworker. This week we talk about the importance of mentors.

Mentorship is in fact a two way street of learning and enriching, unlike the mental picture we've formed over the years as young professionals new to industry. Take a second to reflect on the relationships of sharing and support you have around you, in whatever shape or form they may be.
