    Quotes:

    How can you create camaraderie and get advice from people who have been in your seat, who are in your seat, who have done all the things that you're doing? How can you help them and get a great feeling about bringing other people along? It's all part of executive mentorship.

    Josh Irons, River Avenue Digital

    I think it's a common experience for entrepreneurs to sort of get their business to a point and then just keep hitting some glass wall.

    Jason Meyer, Meyer Business Law

    What people don't realize… is that someone who's in manufacturing is going through a lot of the same problems as someone who owns a marketing firm or someone who owns a law firm or someone who owns an accounting firm; they still have some really similar basic issues.

    Alisa McCabe, First Steps Financial

    I don't think I would have grown as much as I did in my career if it wasn't for some pretty great mentors.
