Yeah, so I've had a number of mentors, but one that really sticks out for me is AG Lafley, he was the long-time CEO at P&G where I used to work, and I got to know AG before he became CEO. When he was running beauty, I had one of the main brands in that sector, Pantene, the hair care brand, and we got to know each other and he was a great mentor. I remember, the story that sticks out to me is P&G went through pretty tumultuous times and actually replaced the CEO with AG Lafley, elevated him to CEO, and I remember I had, I think in the week after he was announced or appointed, a week or two after, I had a scheduled kind of mentor lunch with him. Once a quarter, we go grab a sandwich and talk about the world and how things were going, and I remember calling his assistant just assuming that he'd be way too busy to have a mentor lunch with me, given everything else he had in this big global corporation, and she got back to me, she said, "No, he actually wants to have lunch and he wondered if you can spend a bit more time. He would like to walk some stores with you," and so I remember that day vividly even though it was many years ago, we went across the river in northern Kentucky and we spent the next four hours really visiting only two stores, we walked every single aisle where he taught me things about kind of how categories were set up, all sorts of things, and then he picked my brain as well, and the things I took away from that day were, one, his generosity of making himself available even though I knew it was an incredibly busy time for him, two, the authenticity of that relationship where he was teaching me things and invested in my kind of development and my success but also getting tidbits from me on different brands we saw or how I was reacting to things and learning that way, and so I've been able to take back a couple of those lessons throughout making myself always available both for the team and those that I mentor, being able to share things that I've accumulated over years of experience but equally importantly, learning from them, and many of the mentees I have are much younger than I am, and so there's always things I learn particularly being on a digitally native brand that's very active on social media, I'm constantly getting tips on what's hot and what's appealing to them, and so I think, I really credit all my mentors over the years for both that investment in me as well as what I was able to have kind of in terms of our relationship and how it made not only me better but also hopefully made them better as better leaders.
