In this episode we talk about having mentors that give their knowledge that took them years to acquire so that we can "skip the line" to success. This allows us to cover the value in failing BIG so that we can give that knowledge to the next generation as well as grow from it. We only truly fail when we stop trying. Because of this it has allowed us to mentor those with more life experience and sky rocket ourselves to places our peers have not been able to go. 

This is an action packed episode and I encourage you to learn as much as you can from us!

Make sure to look at this amazing non-profit as well and contribute!
