But … their relationship began under some pretty unique circumstances as well. It all started when Mark turned up to a job interview at Marty's company wearing a neck brace. As it turns out, he'd broken his neck.

What makes a good mentor? And what should you do to be a good mentee? In our final episode of Level Up, we'll answer these questions and talk about how to get started with your own mentorship relationship.

We're joined by Lucy Lloyd, Co-founder of Mentorloop, which is an online matchmaking site for mentoring relationships. She shares the lessons she's learned from observing hundreds of mentorship relationships in action.

In an interesting twist, however, we learn that Lucy's own relationship with her mentor isn't the formal relationship you might expect from someone who runs a business focused on mentoring. Sure, Lucy and her mentor Aaron Wallis guide each other through some tricky business challenges, but they also like to enjoy a few cheeky wines along the way.

Celebrate your successes

Katy Stevens had already built a career working in Customer Success (with experience in huge corporations like Microsoft) when she met her future mentor, Didier Elzinga. Little did she know, Didier was about to make her question everything …

She took a role working at Culture Amp; a homegrown, Melbourne-based, high-growth technology start-up. But Katy ended up getting more than she bargained for.

Some might find Didier's mentoring methods a little challenging. But Katy credits her success to those moments, and she's thankful for being pushed to new heights. She credits her relationship with Didier as a driving factor in her success today.

Question everything

With success comes unexpected challenges. And Renee found this out the hard way …

Renee Moore is the Founder and CEO of Cinch Skin, a multi-award-winning skincare brand that exploded onto the shelves of Priceline — one of Australia's largest beauty retailers. But when Cinch Skin grew 400% in a short space of time, Renee realised she needed some help.

So she turned to SBE Australia, an organisation which supports and accelerates women-led business through programmes and mentorship. This is where she met her mentor, Jodie Imam. After bonding over sleepless nights and the unique challenges women face in business, Renee and Jodie soon decided to make their business relationship official.
