Creating and maintaining great relationships is one of the best parts of the human experience, both personally and professionally – and that’s exactly why mentoring should be on everybody’s radar.

In this podcast, we chat to Julie Meyer, founder of Eat Well Global, about the key role mentoring has played in her career, why she believes she could have gotten further much faster if she tapped into the power of mentoring sooner and her experiences on both sides of the mentoring fence.
