We often celebrate being “self-made”—but no one grows alone.

In this video, I reflect on mentorship, why being a student is a posture, and why leadership comes with the responsibility to pour into others.

We’ll talk about:
✅ Why mentorship shortens the learning curve
✅ How humility prepares you for leadership
✅ The difference between visibility and stewardship
✅ Why legacy lives through people

If you care about growth and impact, this conversation matters.
