Andrew tells us of an amazing gift he received early in his career and how his mission is to share it with others.  One of the motivators to starting the podcast #SITN Show, that now has an audience in 160 countries, is that he didn't have all the answers but he knew people who probably did  and says how easy it is to ask for help on behalf of other people. Andrew’s love of asking questions comes across as he keeps me on my toes when it comes to discussing work-life balance, but he concludes that there's ‘no such thing as a lack of resource just a lack of resourcefulness and you only spot that when you're out of balance’.  If you are looking for a mentor know what you're looking for to some degree and think of up to 3 things someone can help you with.  And if someone asks you to be a mentor to them remember that mentoring really helps you as well as the other person.
