"Mentorship is very similar to entrepreneurship. I'm not creating an entrepreneur if I'm doing the work for them, but I can provide them some sort of inspiration or a spark to go in the right direction or access to a specific resource that they didn't have. So a lot of this is really identifying what you are doing, providing discrete resources, and then getting out of their way." - Dan Swartz [20:48]
"Rural entrepreneurship is something that's very a large topic right now in America because rural spaces are tending to be disinvested in certain ways, and entrepreneurship is a path for those communities to grow their own wealth." - Dan Swartz [27:14]
