It may not be a very well known fact, but January is National Mentor Month. I know what some of you might be thinking…. ‘so what?’, right? If you’ve never had or been a mentor, then you’re really missing out on something pretty special.
That’s where Kyle Reed (@kylelreed) comes in.
Kyle is a dude that really impresses me with his drive to bring back the virtually lost art of mentoring. He points out that there is an entire generation of 20- and 30-somethings that are searching for someone to guide them. And I could list off dozens of reasons to get involved with mentoring, but I’d like to give Kyle a moment to share more about his grassroots Mentor Me Project…

Nice job, Kyle and Dan. I enjoyed seeing both you guys and listening in on your conversation. Thanks for doing this.

I know that my life has been impacted BIG TIME by some great mentors, and I've had the opportunity to impact others in the same way. So I'm a big believer in mentoring, and I'm glad that Kyle is doing such a great job building awareness like he is.
Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts Marshall! It's always great to hear from you!
Yes, I've been enjoying all that I've seen Kyle doing with this project. I hope to see more people get on board with it too.
