Ask Me Anything - 30 Minutes with Aric

When I first started my career, I knew I wanted a mentor to help me navigate all the unknowns and avoid the typical rookie mistakes. After about 6–7 months of working with Aric—through conversations and messages—I can honestly say the value he’s brought to my life has been priceless. To me, great mentorship isn’t just about hitting goals or checking boxes; it’s also about the relationship. Aric brings both—he’s a seasoned pro with a ton of wisdom, but also just a genuinely cool guy. He keeps it real, tells you what you need to hear (not just what you want to hear), and always has your best interest in mind. His mentorship has helped me grow not just in my job, but also in my career direction and even in my personal life. He’s a great listener, but also knows how to challenge your thinking in a way that helps you grow. The combination of his experience and his approachable style makes it easy to open up and really get value out of the time you spend with him. Whether it’s work goals, certifications, or just life in general, Aric has helped me see things from a new perspective—and that’s made a huge difference in how I move forward.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your guidance and support throughout my journey. Your mentorship has been instrumental in shaping my skills, confidence, and approach to problem-solving. I truly appreciate the time, patience, and valuable insights you have shared with me. As this chapter comes to a close, I will carry forward everything I’ve learned from you, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact you have had on my growth. Wishing you all the best, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. Thank you once again for everything!
