What mentees say

“As a fellow Edtecher (hahaha), it was great to talk shop with Mat. He and I had to reschedule and he was so gracious and responsive. During our chat, he gave me a real picture of what his company and role were like. Product Operations is under-appreciated and I really enjoyed his process orientation and approach to team-building.”

“Mat provides constructive feedback, asks thoughtful questions and overall creates a positive and professional learning environment. He's an A1 mentor and I will definitely connect with him again throughout my job hunting process.”

“I just wanted to listen to Mat for hours. I though he has the magical power of knowing what you want and presenting his ideas in the best possible format. I highly recommend everyone speak with Mat to make themselves more explicit about their goals and objectives. Thank you Mat and I will book another session.”
