They dive deep into the world of mentorship, personal growth, and problem-solving with our special guests, Joao and Manny, alongside our insightful panelists, AJ and Charles.
In this episode, they explore the transformative power of weekly accountability meetings (WAM), where tasks are committed and followed up with a yes or no, no excuses allowed. Joao and Manny share their journey of mentorship that crossed borders, forging a strong bond through adversity and mutual respect. We'll also delve into how their dynamic friendship amplifies professional standards, and the importance of balancing personal and professional relationships.
