Episode Synopsis

An average of 86% people in tech do not have a sponsor or a mentor who can help them grow in their careers. This number only becomes bigger for women and people of color. This podcast is not just a monologue about what it means to have a sponsor or a mentor but a tough conversation. I talk to Janna Hamaker, one of the best mentors I have had back when she was at Facebook. If you are in tech, and looking for a jump in your career, you need to hear this!
