ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this episode of NEXT 2.0, Marcus sits down with his engineer, 26-year-old Alex Staley, for a conversation that is years in the making. Marcus has mentored Alex since he was in the third grade through youth programs and media arts, and today, that relationship has come full circle in a powerful way. What began as guidance and encouragement in childhood has grown into a real-life example of what long-term mentorship can produce: trust, growth, talent, and purpose. This episode highlights the impact of investing in young people over time and shows what can happen when someone is given the support to develop into their full potential.
