Transcript context

…That's called mentorship, I think, for people that are just looking for actual concrete advice on how to do a thing, is that right, versus coaching? I think so. This is where the words are squishy because there are a lot of people who are mentoring, who are also stepping into a coach role occasionally.

Unit is trusted by leading brands such as AngelList, Highbeam, Invoice2go, and Roofstock.
