Interview Insights Top 3 Takeaways We can't have a work-life balance every day. Keep in mind that you have busy seasons and seasons of relaxation, and that those seasons might last days, hours, or weeks. You don't have to meet someone in person to make them your mentor. You can learn from anyone who is wise or experienced. A mentor doesn't need to be someone perfect all the time or successful in every endeavor. A mentor can be someone who failed because from their failures we can learn the lessons and avoid falling into the same traps they did.
