We still want to hear about your mentors!

As we head into the weekend, I’d like to continue to highlight the mentors, supervisors and colleagues that help guide people throughout their careers.

 

So, if you have anyone you want to commend for helping you through your professional journey, please let us know.

 

What was the most helpful thing an old boss did for you? Whose shoulders are you standing on? Who do you feel paved or helped pave the way to where you are now?

 

Let us know by replying to this email or sending a response to baltimore@technical.ly.

  • A thread with tips for copywriting and branding. Seems minor, but one thing I hear from many founders is how they wish they had thought more about marketing sooner
  • A thread recommending some solid gen ed courses at YouTube university to help learn about startups, engineering and mathematics, to name a few.
