<description>&lt;p&gt;I am so excited for this episode and an announcement! This week, we are kicking off something new called Mentor March. Over the next four weeks, I’ll be bringing you conversations with people who have personally mentored me in different areas of my life, from business and agriculture to marriage, leadership, and entrepreneurship. These are the people who have shaped how I think, how I lead, and how I build.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode, I share why mentorship matters so much and why it is not just for entrepreneurs or corporate leaders. We all need a board of directors in our lives. People who have walked the path ahead of us and are willing to tell us the truth. If most of what you have learned has come from other people, imagine what could change if you became intentional about who those people are. Mentor March starts next week, and I cannot wait for you to meet the mentors. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect with Jessie:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Follow on Instagram &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/otw-ig" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;@ofthewest.co&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; and &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/jessie-ig" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;@mrsjjarv&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Follow on Facebook &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/fb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;@jobsofthewest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Check out the Of The West &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/website" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resources &amp;amp; Links:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/directory" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Join The Directory Of The West&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Get our FREE resource for &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/job-description" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Writing a Strong Job Description&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Get our FREE resource for &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/max-internship" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Making the Most of Your Internship&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Get our FREE resource: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/resume-mistakes-fixes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Get our FREE resource: &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/hiring-mistakes-fixes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers Make&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Email us at &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:hello@ofthewest.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;hello@ofthewest.co&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Subscribe to Of The West's &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠Newsletters&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data-list="bullet"&gt;&lt;span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;List your jobs on &lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="https://leaders-of-the-west.captivate.fm/list-jobs-employers" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;⁠Of The West&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
