A successful journey of 1,000 miles may begin with a single step, but a great mentor can get you there faster. This week on Motivational Mondays, we’re tackling the power of mentorship to build a better future! Blake Johnson has successfully founded and sold several businesses in his career, including his most recent company, Byte, which Forbes Magazine called the fastest-growing company ever —and Byte got there without any external capital. Johnson leveraged the mentorship he received as a teen to build his current success, and now he is dedicated to bringing that same advantage to more children through the Blake Johnson Alliance. Tune in to learn how you can do the same! You’ll learn about Johnson’s plans to help more children gain mentors, the art of the pivot, and the importance of a supportive community for success.
