Everyone talks about the power of mentors. What counts as a mentor?

A Football coach? A teacher who believed in you? Your first boss? Your supportive father-in-law?

Mentors come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they come in the shape of a book. That is, what if your best mentors aren't flesh and blood? What if you could find the support and wisdom you needed from long-dead poets, philosophers, and statesmen?

We know that everyone needs mentors. Almost as much as we need water. In this week's episode of Finding Home, we talk about both- the importance of clean water and the power of mentors- with New York Times Best-selling Author Seth Siegel, who is also an activist, entrepreneur- and my long-time mentor. His first book, Let There Be Water, tackled the history of water technology in Israel. His second, Troubled Water, focused on water policy in America.

But this is but the latest chapter in Siegel's fascinating personal and business life. With multiple businesses across multiple industries, we look to ask some relevant questions in the era of the Great Resignation: How do you know when it's time to change careers? How do you take that leap? How important are mentors? How do you have the confidence to try new things?

Enjoy this week's Finding Home and find some answers to these questions!
