  • National "Thank Your Mentor Day" - Interview with SCORE Mentor Kevin Pratt
    Jan 27 2023

    Streamed live on Jan 26, 2023

    Today is Thank Your Mentor Day! We have a special surprise - we're going live with our own business mentor, Kevin Pratt from SCORE.  

    Here's more about Kevin in his own words: After a career as a commercial trial lawyer, at age 50 he switched to a career as a data scientist consulting with Fortune 500 companies. Along the way he authored books, remodeled 15 homes and developed an office building. Since 2021, he has mentored over 50 startups and small businesses as a volunteer with SCORE.org.   Starting and building a business is a doubt-filled journey into the unknown for every entrepreneur. The most common challenges for small businesses are marketing and organizing. Kevin sees mentoring as mostly sketching helpful pieces of a roadmap and cheering along whatever journey the business owner may choose.   

    Join us as we talk about mentorships, SCORE, and how every business owner can benefit from having a strong mentor, no matter what their stage of business growth and development!
