Quotes:

“Wisdom is all about mentorship. Our mission is to democratize access to mentorship.”

“I believe that when mentoring happens, that's when knowledge happens.”

 

“Audio is very authentic. You hear the emotion, you hear the person's voice and what they're saying, and it's in real-time.”

 

“It’s crazy that a lot of the large social networks today don't share their profits or reward their middle class of content creators.”
