Brice Scheschuk sold a telecom company for over a billion. he didn’t have any mentors, wasn’t even coachable. he was lucky though to find the right comrades. they went all in, fought and won. you’ll hear the details. he doesn’t hold back. later, he did a 180 and started an organization to elevate the art of mentorship.

Brice is a role model to many, and this is his tale of human helpfulness.
