“My mentoring with Brad was awesome. Highly recommend. He does the thing that I think is an ability of all superb mentors, and that's making you realize that you're already entirely capable of achieving your goal, and the next step is to simply do the work. I believe the foundation of that ability is being a great listener. Thank you, Brad!”

“The guidance and mentorship I have received from Austin has been fantastic. He has helped guide me and advise me in many ways that have helped me continue to grow my business and myself professionally. Since I am an early entrepreneur I have to rely on my mentors more than most, and I am glad to have him advising me to work through issues and find new ways to expand my business. I look forward to continuing my business journey with Austin as my mentor.”
