Welcome back to another episode of The Glass Sessions!

This week, we talk with someone who has shaped our careers more than he knows - our longtime mentor and friend, Bob Schweitzer.

Bob is an Operations executive with 30 years of experience leading and implementing finance, sales, call center, manufacturing and personnel strategies.

We met Bob while working our first post-college jobs together, while he was heading up finance, legal, operations, client success and sales, and he's played an integral part of our lives ever since.

Whether you’re seeking a mentor, becoming one, or trying to deepen a relationship you already have, this conversation is packed with wisdom you can use today.

We cover:

• How mentorship works - both organically and through formal programs
• What makes a mentor - mentee relationship last
• Navigating key career decisions with someone in your corner
• Why mentorship benefits both people - not just the mentee
• How generational perspectives strengthen a working relationship
• The realities of remote work + staying connected
• Advice for finding (and being) a great mentor
• Our favorite advice we've received from a mentor
