Dave Mortensen

My closest mentors in life are the people I'm closest with.

An example, if someone said, who's a great mentor in your life, it'd be my business partner.

He's been a mentor because he has different thinking.

He'll challenge me.

I'll challenge him.

I would say my wife.

Believe it or not, my wife, because she sees life in a way she lives in in the gray.

She will always take the hard route to figure things out and keeps me grounded in my approach in life and every aspect of life.

When you look at.

horrible things that are happening in the world, you understand everyone wants to take a side of what that is.

And we got to take less sides.

And she teaches me not to take a side and actually dig deeper into the actual solutions, which makes it great.

And then over the years, I've always connected myself with really smart people.

And depending on what my topic is, I'm intrigued by it.

I normally look...

and find people that have those expertise so I can grow and learn as well.

Love it.

If you don't mind, just a quick follow-up to that one, because you mentioned IFA.

Is there a franchise that you're kind of like, hey, that's really cool?

Because you guys have done extraordinary work in that.
