Q Obviously someone mentored you at some point in your life. Why don't we talk a little bit about that? Experience. Your first mentorship.
A So the first time I was ever a mentee was actually during my first startup. I had signed up for an entrepreneurship like program in university, and I tried, um, to start a startup, which failed, but it was really fun to start something that was bigger than myself, and I wanted to experience that, and the mentor was very, very, very supportive. She helped me build a deck, like start Learning how to pitch, working with potential clients, and just picking up the phone, and calling people, and doing research, all of which I had never done before. I was definitely out of my comfort zone, and she really pushed me through that, and helped me kind of gather what I needed in order to move forward for, for my startup. I mean, I think that it doesn't really matter that that startup didn't go well. It's more about, like, the relationship that I had with her, and what I learned and got out of it. Took that experience and especially my relationship with her into my future, um, mentorship engagements, whether I was a mentee, um, or a mentor.
