James Mitra - How to Build Valuable Relationships (Slowly) and Why We All Need Mentors

My guest today is James Mitra, a new friend who I met after appearing on his podcast. James is clearly intent on doing business authentically, ethically, and for good, dedicating his free time to connecting those of us who are trying to grow with mentors. It became clear to me that he must have had some good mentors to have ended up like this, so I wanted him to tell you all about it.
