The Value of Mentors, Pt. 1

I have two women who completely inspired me at an event that I attended for the Women's Small Business Accelerator. The WSBA has a gala every fall, and Brady Ware & Company is a big supporter of that organization.Merry Korn and Sheryl Marrero told their story of how they came together. They started out together as mentor-mentee through a six-month program with the WSBA. As women business owners, we need to be inspired by other women business owners. So I really want them to tell a little bit about their journey together. And then we're going to talk about mentoring, being a mentor or a mentee.Merry is the owner of Pearl Interactive Network, Inc., and Sheryl is the President of SavKon Construction.We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including how and why Sheryl needed the mentor relationship that Merry had to offer to help her with her business debt.I was in a large deficit and so I was referred to the Mentor Match program through the WSBA. I ended up at the table with Merry. And although her business was totally different from mine, I instantly felt trust in her. And that was one of the things I had hoped for and prayed for, for a mentor who I could trust.Find out what made the difference in turning her business around, and more detail about Merry's Wellness Checkup Plan.This is THE podcast that advances women toward economic, social, and political achievement.
