This November will be bigger and better than ever.
👋 Welcome to the Monthly Mentor Roundup! 🔒 This is exclusively for ADPList Mentors. 🔒 Inside, you’ll find some of our greatest accomplishments in October 2023, as well as key events happening in the community later this month. Let’s dive in!
Dear ADPList Mentors,
Last month was full of big wins, and none of it would be possible without this unstoppable community. This has been a truly remarkable time for growth, connection, and learning — and we want to keep up the momentum. Today, I’m excited to share some exclusive updates on our recent community happenings and the events we have on the horizon.
ADPList Celebrates 100 Million Minutes of Mentorship Worldwide
Last month, our community achieved a HUGE milestone — 100 million minutes of mentorship since ADPList was founded in 2021. ADPList Mentors, you made this possible — and we’re just getting started!
A Letter to ADPList Mentors
Thank you for your commitment to ADPList. We’ve grown across 140 countries and 67 languages — creating a new way to experience mentorship. ADPList is about fulfilling every person’s potential. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’re excited about what comes next — our goal is to build ADPList as the world’s town square for trusted expert communities and knowledge exchange.
The future is going to be beyond anything we can imagine.
ADPList is different. It was when it was founded, and it is today. And it’s what people share here that amazes and inspires me every day. Thank you for letting me and our team do the best work and dreaming up every day. Onwards!
— Felix Lee, CEO & Co-Founder of ADPList
