Summary
“Want to get razor sharp? Get a mentor.” — Brian Buffini
What do the most successful people have in common? They seek the guidance of mentors. In this episode, from the MasterMind Summit® 2016, Brian Buffini gives the scoop on all things mentoring—how to find the right one, how to be mentored and how to become a great mentor.

As always, Brian serves up timeless wisdom with a healthy dose of humor. This is a timeless episode you’ll want to refer to again and again.
