"I wanted to get a mentorship with Jaret and Elliot because they are kind and very ambitious. Jaret helped me find my way and to change my fixed mentality. Jaret always reads the messages and responds in an honest and caring way. I also appreciate that Jaret is friendly and he is really funny. The mentorship allowed me to stay on track with my goal of data analytics. He also helped me by explaining digital marketing and how to run the business. I paid for the bronze mentorship but I recommend the silver membership. He gives detailed answers on the calls and he has leadership skills. I appreciate how he is optimistic and realistic at the same time. "

"I'm a data analyst at a SaaS company. I reached out to Sunny as I was looking for a mentor with thorough experience in both product and marketing analytics. I was really impressed with her profile and keen to learn from her. Sunny has been my mentor for over 6 months now, and still going! I've learnt so, so much; from approach and methods for technical analytics problems, to organising my career roadmap. I've walked away from every call feeling motivated and wiser. Sunny encourages me to take a step back when I approach a problem head-first, something I know a lot of us have a habit of doing - I avoid making operational mistakes because I've had a chance to discuss the business problem with someone more experienced than myself. I've confidently taken on so many more challenges as a data analyst, and in turn accelerated in my career. Sunny is so encouraging, so friendly and super supportive. I definitely recommend her mentorship! "
