We’re back with part 2 of our mini series on mentorship! Today’s guest is making the case for why your favorite influencer you have on that pedestal may not actually be the best mentor to help you achieve your goals - and who you should be seeking out instead.

Kelsey Chapman is a podcaster and personal cheerleader to women creating their dream businesses and lives. Throughout her life, she was impacted by countless mentors who guided and supported her, which inspired her to write her book, What They Taught Me: Recognizing The Mentors Who Will Take You From Dream To Done. To pay it forward, she spends her days mentoring hundreds of women in her Radiant Communities.

Press play for Kelsey’s wisdom on the kinds of qualities you should look for in a mentor, where to find mentors and how to make the big ask, when it's time to start paying for one, and how to get past imposter syndrome if you want to become a mentor yourself! This episode is your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about mentorship, let’s dig in!
