The 3 Biggest Lessons in Finding Powerful Mentors That Will Change Your Life

This is it! Episode 100 is live!!

I can barely believe that what started out as an experiment less than two years ago is now my favorite part of my life.

I am so grateful to all of you for supporting the show, sharing it with your friends, engaging in the comments, tagging me on social media, etc.

It means the world to me and I only plan on making the podcast better as we continue on.

I’ve been getting a lot of requests for another solo round, so back by popular demand, I’m diving into an extremely important topic for Episode 100 of The School of Greatness.

I am pulling back the curtain on how I developed relationships with some of my most influential mentors and showing you how you can (and should) do the same.
