When we talk about mentoring, what we're really talking about is relationships. Just because it may not be called "mentoring," doesn't mean that it isn't an important relationship. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Harriet Schwartz - author and professor -  about what it means to have growth-fostering relationships and how we can be intentional about using the "good things" to make even the smallest interaction meaningful.
