Excerpt:  Welcome to Episode 90 of the HIH podcast, where we explore how to maximize personal growth with the help of a mentor.

In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin is once again accompanied by Keven Pimentel, the founder of Quemassa Marketing Agency, and Michelle Chia, the global marketing director at UADV. Together, they dive into the nuances of cultivating mentorship relationships, the importance of getting out of your comfort zone, and how to find and recognize successful mentors in your own industry.

Wisdom Nuggets: 

• Pass on the knowledge: Pass on the knowledge: Through mentorship, you are able to become a mentor for other people. This gives you the opportunity to impart the wisdom that was imparted to you. Do not just hoard the knowledge or experience, share with people that are going through the same thing you once went through. It sustains the cycle of success.
• Don't be a know-it-all when it comes to receiving mentorship: Do not question your mentor's advice so much that you make it difficult for them to mentor you. When you choose someone to be your mentor, it means they possess the knowledge and expertise that you wish to acquire. Therefore, by being too opinionated or subjective in this process will hinder the purpose of having them as a mentor. Respect your mentor and the advice they give you. Stay open and receptive.
• Bring value: A mentor/mentee relationship should always be an exchange of value. Both parties should get something out of the relationship, whether knowledge or resources. It is a two-way street and both parties need to be willing to give something in order for the relationship to truly work.
