The Value Of A Mentor

The Unified Team

Bartholomew Sharpe stole something that made him a fortune.

In 1680, he and his men sailed out to central America where they stole a Spanish ship. They discovered an atlas of Spanish sailing charts. They used it to find and raid Spanish ships.

On his return to England he was arrested for piracy and brought before the King.

The Spanish Ambassador insisted he be hung for his crimes. However, Sharpe had something of great value to the King... the atlas. His gift kept him alive and free.

Today's episode of the Unified Team Podcast is about mentoring.

A Mentor is someone who has a map of where you want to go. They can warn you of landmines. And show you where treasure can be found.
