My dad, my mentor, and my greatest supporter. I was so fortunate to have a father who genuinely encouraged me and gave me my start in life and in business. With Father’s Day approaching, I thought I would share my thoughts on the importance of having a mentor in my early years and how my Dad shaped my views on life, education, and business. If you are lucky enough to have a great mentor in your life, it is the most amazing special relationship. Seek out mentors who can help guide you, advise you, someone, you can turn to in good and bad times.
