According to a 5-year study by Harvard Business Review, people with mentors are 5 times more likely to get promoted — and they typically reach their goals 2x faster than those without one. Why? A mentor helps you avoid costly mistakes, fast-track decisions, and stay accountable. You're not guessing — you're executing with guidance from someone who's already walked the path. A mentor doesn't just help you go faster — they help you go in the right direction faster. Welcome to today's episode! I'm thrilled to introduce our guest, Jonathan Eldridge—a seasoned leader with a remarkable career in business development and motivational speaking.
