-: Yeah, the value is almost infinite, right?
So when you can find someone who you connect with,
who has an interest in you and you have an interest in them,
there is a bond built there where it's valuable
cause it's not like it's a mom or dad.
It's not like it's a peer or sibling,
it's someone who's a professional
who you can bounce questions off of
and you're gonna have a lot of them in your career.
I mean, "What's my next step?"
Or "I've got this situation at work, what would you do?
What do you think you'd do? And how would you approach it?"
There is so much value in a mentor
because they can be that resource.
Cause you can't go to your manager and say,
"Hey how do I handle this situation you put me in?"
But you can go to a mentor and ask them,
"Hey what would you do in this situation?"
Then they also provide guidance.
I mean, if they're pouring into your life unwillingly,
that's fantastic.
Not a lot of people would do that.
So finding a good mentor is key
and there's a lot of value there.
