"I had Karyn help me with SEO for my bootstrapped business and she is such an expert, such a professional, that she is among my favorites of the 15 or so mentors I've worked with this year. She could explain things into terms that I could understand, develop a strategy for my unique situation while taking into consideration all my constraints. I can't underscore how important this is to a business starting out that is low on time, money, and resources—other consultants will give advice that isn't tailored to your situation and those actions end up taking away other areas and doesn't have the intended result anyways because it didn't fit your business. But what is most surprising about Karyn is how much business understanding she has that she doesn't recognize. Karyn is relentless about learning everything related to SEO—writing, marketing, branding, financial models, and even programming. I've found that her broad understanding of how small to medium SaSS companies work mean that she has offered actionable advice in many areas that I need even though it isn't her main area of expertise. I now consider her a business consulting generalist who I can present a myriad of problems and she can help me make progress with them."

"Moving out of a product role into more of a growth-focused position, I recognized a need for direct and personal guidance for continued career growth. I selected Taras because although he is in a different industry, his profile and accomplished experience mirror those skills I was seeking to cultivate. Thus far, Taras has exceeded my expectations. His business intuition and understanding of process improvement and efficiency are exemplary. But beyond this, he genuinely and empathetically seeks to understand the challenges around my specific business and culture, contextualized by my personal goals. His unique perspective on problems and solutions, underscored by his own achievements, have been extremely helpful. Every meeting, Taras poses and works through direct and relevant questions with me then assigns a specific objective(s) for the next meeting. He takes copious notes on what we discussed and, after each meeting, provides a summary as well as my next steps. Honestly, I've found myself looking forward to my calls with Taras more than I'd ever anticipated. If you're considering him for a mentor, don't wait a minute longer and just do it. Seriously, he is awesome!"

Seeing how you gave me the explanation of the problem and how you solved it, broke several ways of how I thought about the resolution (I tried to complicate things a lot, but really keeping things simple is better) I have to say that I have been able to grow a lot, I feel that day by day I am growing in preparation and I hope to reach the goal which is to enter a large technology company, which we will undoubtedly achieve, however my progress that I have had, at a medium level, makes several recruiters are interested in my profile.

"I was only able to meet once with the mentor in our five weeks (there was a re-org at his work and then vacation). Profile said responses would be within 24h. I understand Anand had work responsibilities (re-org). However, multiple times it would take a few days for a response and I would need to send a follow-up message. I did not experience this with other MentorCruise mentors. Profile (and our first meeting) said I would receive tasks and exercises. For example, I noted async/await for exercises. We discussed me receiving those exercises w/ a specific API to target. I never received any exercises (async or otherwise), messaged the mentor about receiving them, didn't hear back for a few days and just created my own. I fully support vacations and taking time away from work/MentorCruise. However, other mentors who went on vacation paused our mentorship and were quick to follow-up the day or two they returned."

"Harry is not only a phenomenal mentor, he's just honestly a fantastic human being. It seems like he gives all of his clients the exact energy and motivation they need to go out and pursue something which at first, feels impossible. He's extremely easy to relate to and it's rare to find someone so experienced and successful who is willing to come down to your level and allow you to take things one step at a time with a smarter, and less overwhelming perspective. I genuinely can't believe how lucky I am to have stumbled upon him as my first ever mentor. Even after having inevitable success through his masterclasses in instilling self-belief, there's no doubt that I'll continue to seek his advice in my future ventures. Everybody needs a Harry in their lives, it feels like the only logical way forward. Appreciate everything that you do for the community!"

I have to drop out again, because life got in the way of things (again), but honestly I would recommend mentorship with Callan to anyone looking to get into graphic or web design. Thanks!"
